If you’ve accessed this site between 7 pm to 11pm (5 Jan), this site was redirected to another location. You must be wondering if my site “chap lap”. I was shocked too actually, “WHERE DID MY SITE GO?!?!?”.
My apologies folks, it was because of one of my links here that I link to http://www.advertlets.com. They’ve misused the tag on my site and redirected my whole site to another 3rd party link. I’ve completely removed the tag now and I am banning it, it didn’t only affect my site but also to a few more blogger friends.
I seriously advice you against using that advertlets site anymore. They’ve betrayed our trust!
By the way I just double checked that site, it EXPIRED! Gosh what the heaven happened?

The same thing happened to me as well, but at that moment, I’m still have a fabulous dinner with my relatives at the exquisite hotel…I’m think that my site visitors might get shocked as well, when they visit my site. Advertlets still owe me $$$ here…:(

Please be aware that the redirect was not intentional, and was due to a complication in the renewal process. Service has been partially restored and will be back fully shortly.

Well according to Advertlets SUPPORT’s generic answer - yes they are currently restoring their site and should be available SOONNNNN. I guess your money should be safe … if not … the M’sian bloggerssssssss may just stand againts them and its going to be a huge prob. Lets see … probably a few thousands of us to start off… hahaha.
