无聊小站

对，我把Advertlets炒鱿鱼了。少过RM 300（~USD 100）的支票等了好几个月竟然都收不到。我已经再三确认不是我资料填错的问题。

当初我做了Nuffnang和Advertlets两个马来西亚广告联盟的比较，最后决定选择Advertlets。当初选择Advertlets的原因主要是因为其控制台、广告量、收入。过了八个月，很多事发生了。正月时由于Advertlets忘记更新域名，导致各大投放Advertlets广告的blog都转站到别的网站（当初我还以为是wordpress出了问题）。Nuffnang随之推出了Glitterati的特别会员方案，让更多人弃Advertlets投入Nuffnang怀抱。我也在同一段时间踢爆在拥有差不多的浏览量之下，Advertlets竟然提供不同的付款待遇。

这些都不是我放弃Advertlets的主要原因。投放Nuffnang或Advertlets都不是我想利用他们完成赚钱大梦，只是试验比较而已。可是我不是那种有钱在地上不去捡的人。二月以及三月我就要求拿钱了，可是到五月都还没寄钱给我。所以在五月写了一封信给Advertlets要求他们说明。在反映问题的当天，Advertlets就回复我，并保证会在两个星期内寄给我。可是两个星期过去了，我的支票都还还没Processed好，所以就再寄给Advertlets一封电邮：

Hi,
I’m writing here regarding to the payment you promised to send to me 2 weeks ago.  I was told by you that I should get it within the past two weeks, however it is still “processing” status in the cashout page.

Hope to hear from you soon.

然后我得到的回复是说接着的星期一马上会把钱寄给我：

Hi Wong,

It will be sent out this coming Monday, so you should receive it shortly.
Thanks.

Regards,

随之我就忘了这件事。在六月四日那天我收到一封信通知二月的支票已经寄出去了：“Please note that your February 2008 Cashout has already been processed and should reach the address registered in your profile between the 28th of May 2008 to the 15th of June 2008”

由于贵人事忙，所以我完全忘记了Advertlets的存在。可是在前几天回国后，发现到家里一点都没有支票的消息！我立刻写了一封信给Advertlets：

Hi,
I had cashout in Feb and March, and the status shown was “sent”.  However up until today, I still haven’t receive the payment.  I checked all the details I provide in my profile and everything is correct.  Can you please look into the matter?  Thanks.

Adverlets回复：

Hi,

We’ve done what we need to from our end, give it a bit of time to arrive.
Please let us know if it doesn’t arrive to you within a week.

Regards,

Advertlets Support

我马上写回去（英文有点破）：

It’s not a bit of time now, it has been several months!  That’s why I’m letting you know about the issues.

就是以下Advertlets的回复让我火大：

Okay. We’ve checked, your payments were processed last week and should arrive shortly. Apologies for the delay.

鸟的！Advertlets控制台那里找找就写支票已经“SENT”了，可是原来上个星期才处理的！这不是骗人吗？这不就表示我可以告他们吗？在这里我不管他们是不是《大马部落》的赞助商，连两百多马币都付不出。除此之外，Advertlets的广告收益也越来越少。

Hi,

The sent status reflects when your payment has already been processed from our end (eg account already audited and due to be received), and is subject to postal delays from the postal service or cheque management from the bank.

We note that you are in Sibu. As we send our cheques from West Malaysia, it may take a while to arrive to you. Delays of 2-3 weeks have happened. However, we’ve checked and some of the other bloggers from Kuching have received theirs - we will check on the status of your cheque, and reissue if needed.

The cheque will be in a white envelope, marked with the HSBC logo. Please let us know if you still do not receive it by the 15th of July and we will reissue as needed.

所以在这里我以个人名义呼吁各位放弃使用Advertlets。这已经涉及到欺骗的问题了。一张支票可以等到半年。失望。
