Where Have All the BlogAds Gone?

Hatched by Dafydd

This post is mostly for the bloggers out there. Big Lizards, which has gotten new BlogAds submissions multiple times a month for the last year or so, has not gotten a new one since October 24th. In addition, BlogAds are still running that expired weeks ago. (The ads actually exist on BlogAds' server; so somebody is not removing the expired ads.)

I notice the same thing appears to be happening on other blogs, even those that are significantly bigger than BL; I've communicated with a few (they can out themselves if they like, but I won't out them) who report the same phenomenon. I e-mailed Henry Copeland some days ago, but I've received no reply.

Does anybody out there know what's going on? We're suddenly not making any revenue here at all. (The cost of maintaining this blog is trivial, as I do all the work myself, so we only need pay for the host server; but I still want my ad revenue, gosh darn it!)

If anyone has a clue what has happened to BlogAds and Mr. C., please comment here.

Thanks,

The Mgt.

Ditto, Dafydd. I'm having similar problems at my site and tried to contact BlogAds a couple times and never got a response. It's very frustrating.

Most of your ads appear to be political. Why would anyone be spending money on them now.

I do not know anything about the way the ad revenue works. With this in mind: maybe your ad company may be selling its ads to the highest bidder.

Davod,

Since the ads haven't changed since just before the election, it shouldn't be a surprise that they are political.

- More generally, this can be a problem with online businesses. I actually had a webhosting company go belly up on me - without warning or notice - but they left the servers all running.

The customers just slowly got the hint that no one was answering support requests... Fortunately the site kept working till I was able to move to a new server (in my basement, actually....)

??? How did I manage to get dashes in front of my second paragraph?

Oh, well.
