I signed up with Advertlets when they first launched, but never quite served out their ads here. After logging in again, I think I know why I never used them.

  • The choice of ad sizes from them is limited to about five.
  • You don’t have the option of showing text ads.
  • The smallest ad size is 165 pixels in width – 120 pixels would be a good ‘small size’.
  • There’s no option to serve text ads.
  • You can’t really customise the colours of the ad frame – it would be nice to be able to select the border colours, logo colour, etc.
  • And yeah, there’s no option of text ads.

( An actual ad served by Advertlets.com )

Honestly, I actually think Advertlets is a good product. Bloggers and self-publishers in Asia can serve targeted ads and earn some cash, while their readers get to see relevant ads for Asia-oriented products & services.

I am sure they will tweak their offerings as they grow, but until I can choose text ads and be able to customise their appearance, I’ll stick to Adsense.
