If you think advertising on the web is really a great way to do things, well, you are right, except that the costs of advertising on the web is so expensive, especially with platforms that are already settled in like Google , AOL or even Yahoo hacking a 70% Premium of the entire advertising budget from you.

The American market is totally a joke, because there are so many players in the market that they undercut each other and it’s tainted with terror and gangs the like, especially in New York. Many have died off taking the publisher revenue with it, even in the Asian Regions. Go Kita or formerly known as Nufflets is the latest casualty to the process with little financial backing and other problems caused them to lose their pool of publishers and without a pool of publishers, they can’t get any sales as there is no where to advertise.

Many remembered the Advertlets scandal many months back and triggered a crash with Nuffnang Malaysia and the huge outcry with the Malaysian Bloggers was something they can’t handle,and just as well, Kedah-Based (Alot Star) Grab My Ads are something you don’t hear anymore.It’s as if they have gone belly up, since they are just another enterprise.

Which I came to hear from XBRAIN that Aductions finally set up office in KL! Yes, they are based in Centerpoint Bandar Utama just off One Utama with Starbucks and McDonalds round the corner, which I find it typical of this team of expatriate professionals. Mamak, Starbucks with WiFi, McDonalds 24/7 ,what else is needed to run the international market other than to cut their costs and maximise their income. What I heard is that they landed in Malaysia after signing an exclusive deal with a huge media campaign which from what I hear, government linked.

Best part of this deal is that I don’t have to worry about the Paypal payouts as they are writing publishers Malaysian Ringgit Cheques so they will do the exchange and stuff,saving you the US$5 withdrawal fees each time and without any charges and immediate payouts.There are some CHINESE and ARABIAN advertisers too, so it’s time you get your stats up and prove to the market you are worth it. I would suggest small timers to take the CPD or Cost Per Day basis, similar of Text-Link-Ads to entice the advertisers, plus the hassle of fraud click checks are taken away immediately, unless you have no traffic at all each day.

Getting you friends to sign up will earn you Commission Credits which pushes your income up, which you can use to trade ads with other members, like LiewCF or XBRAIN.BIZ, driving your traffic up. Imagine 50,000 visitors a day? Yeah.

So,what are you waiting for , sign up at Aductions (from the logo) or better still, wait out for their official opening and have coffee on them. At least it’s far better than the Nuffnang office.
