Testing Asiacentury Philippines on my websites

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008 | Online Marketing | No Comments

Asiacentury is a new advertising company specifically targeting Philippine online market. It is a combined CPA and CPC program and publishers can choose which banners or programs that they would like to run. The thing I like the most about Asiacentury is the friendly staff, a day after installing their ad codes on my main site, I got a mail from Anders and Carlo even called us.

Today I’m already at around Php 195 for 381 clicks. However since it’s a new company I’m seeing some startup glitches, their server was down for at least twice in the last 3 days. There was also an incident of an expired domain (asiacenturyph.com) weeks back. I emailed their support and here’s is the reply that I got:

I believe we have around 4 affiliates who joined during the weekend and they are all showing large amounts of ads. Good for them, as their earnings are good.

We are adding more ram and power to the servers right now, so it will be down for a few minutes. Hope you can bear with us.

I can also say it is great that so many websites are joining us. We have almost 250 affiliates already, so it seems the local market has a need for more ads.

It seems high traffic sites have started to join the Asiacentury Network and their server is having a hard time serving and tracking those ads. Looks like they need some server optimization work to stabilize their system.

Late Google Adsense Payments via Western Union for July

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008 | Google Adsense | 1 Comment

Usually Google adsense payments via Western Union are ready for pick-up starting the 26th of the month. But upto the time of this writing the payment status is still “payment in progress”. It was like this since July 24 and some webmasters are eagerly anticipating their earnings for the month of June.

Although Google Adsense specified that the payment cycle is 30 days, Western Union payouts are usually available starting the 25th of the suceeding month. Oh well I hope they can release the Western Union payouts upto tomorrow as I need some extrafunds to buy additional webservers.
