Consequences of being NOT famous

As a blogger I mean

1. Your Nuffnang cheque gets delayed and since you're not famous, nobody will know, nobody will notice, even when you blog it out, nobody will care because you're not famous, nobody will see.

(click to enlarge)

"Nuffnang pays at the beginning of each month, and you have to wait for a week
for the cheque to reach your doorstep".

I requested for payment on 17 July 2007, it's 23 August 2007, and my doorstep has nothing but dust, and probably dog poo, oh wait, my Payment Status is still AWAITING. After 1month +?

2. Your earning never gets updated, I don't believe for 2 weeks I do not have a single click! Then again, nobody sees that, because you're not famous, nobody care what you earn, nobody wana pay you.

After I created a ticket (aka sent enquiry) to Nuffnang, my reply was

"Basically, you have to achieve the minimum amount of 20 unique
visitors to your blog and maintain that minimum number of visitors. After then,
you can sit back and relax while our advertisers select the blogs on which to
run their ad campaigns on. Should you be selected, you will be notified by email
based on the type and the duration of the ad campaign.

When the ad campaign is run, your default Nuffnang ad will be
changed to the advertiser's advertisement for the duration in which has been
stated in the email that you have received. You will then begin collecting
earnings based on the type of campaign which is either the unique number of
visitors to your page (Bands) or the clicks on your ads (CPC).

You will only know of the type of ad campaign after it ends and is
updated in your earnings. This is in order to prevent click fraud as CPC pays
much higher than band visits. The amount of earnings along with its rates will
also remain confidential until it is released in your earnings. However, you may
opt to display the default CPC based ads on your Nuffnang account in your "Add
Ads" page while you are not running any ad campaigns.We hope that this
information should be helpful for you. Do feel free to drop us another email
should you require further assistance on this matter.
Have a nice day."

To prove that I have ads...

An advertiser has chosen to advertise on http://huei0522.blogspot.com

The advertisement details are as follows.
Campaign: Mindshare
Campaign Date: 22-Jul-2007 until 13-Oct-2007
Ad Unit: Large Rectangle

July to OCTOBER, so cin cin cai cai also will have ads right? But no, because you're nobody, you're not famous, nobody bothers to update your earnings, thus, my earning stops eversince 4th August 2007.

Now on the other hand, if you're famous...

1. You will probably get your payment in a week or less

2. Everybody will advertise on your blog and you will get updates because if you blog something out like this, everybody's gona notice!

See, I'm so not famous! Nobody cares, I have no money, I'm so insignificant, I bet this post probably won't make much of a difference also!

Now I understand what TTL mean (in his old blog), in less than a week I have RM3 ++ edi from Advertlets, as for Nuffnang, from 15 July till today, I only have RM4.80.

This post is not meant to condemn any or praise any, it's just that, I'm so sad that I'm not famous *cry*

Monk said...

Not that u are not famous. just that they are not efficient enough

Winn said...

chill chill!! u are famous! see! so many ppl link u ma..
sorry i din update my link yet i m the laziest ler:P

zewt said...

waahhh... u hantam then like this ah... their cyber troopers will soon drop a comment here or something... or maybe they will send u a mail or something already.

i always wonder if they will change your clicks since no one audit them... plus, we cant question them la... it's their company. their style of running things... sounds familiar? cyber troopers and all...

and now that you condemn then (albeit indirectly)... they might not give you ads anymore...

now...this late payment is something new... but also our malaysian style of doing things... also very familiar....

Wilson said...

ya man... nuffnang damm 9 slow. tulan... till now still cannot withdraw. i'm going to remove them totally after i withdraw. check my post under my name.

nuffnang sucks... give us more money paying ads than movie tickets. if i condemn here and i don't get ads so be it. i write 50 words post already get paid USD5.00. we support you as a malaysian advertising company and you give us shit.

oh yes, i know i'm not famous too nor a celebrity blogger. does that mean i'm ignore? why don't i see the boss taking me out for dinner or movie? shall i show you my cleavage and make up for you? :P

Jonny said...

haha, nuffnang can go eat shit. Don't be sad, it's not that you're not famous.

It's just that Nuffnang are run by a bunch incompetent fools.

xianglooi said...

Nastasshea@Nesh said...

That is shitty... REAL SHITTY... i'll be removing my nuffnang and adverlets add soon myself... not earning much from there and they always give reasons that i cannot accept like "not enough visitation bla bla bla"

Fine, i admit dun have enough visitation, THUS I shall remove their ads since I'm not gaining anything from them!
