i think last time i do see advertlets got statistic but i think is only from which country, not useful at all, but nuffnang provided also refferal link,keywords and also many more so that i can ever track where my readers from without any analysis tools!
And i think Nuffnang give more details statistic from readers to earning also!
Earning they listed out which company and band but i think the new layout showing buffered earning is a bit confusing and not very like it!
And ya, im actually asking for the468×60 ads from nuffnang long time ago, and at one time they say maybe will have in the new nuffnang but now ady new, but still dont have…
i think they should work for it lah!

personally i think Nuffnang have a better network and more activity to connect all bloggers together like pajamas party and wild life party and the coming one in sabah or sarawak (not too sure… 4get ady)
And quite interesting event and gifts are also… hmm… interesting!
But advertlets i see their events are only for limited bloggers and at many time, i see the same face around only… too bad!
I think Nuffnang is more active lah! But now i dunno cos i stop advertlets ady, so maybe need to hear from those who use advertlets!

IMO the lack of statistical information is not helpful.

As monetization is concern, we need to know whether our ad placement is effective and how to improve.

This is where NN shines. Adverlets, well it sucks really. You could have 4 sites using the ad but the “daily earnings” section will only show your MAIN blog address so you would have no idea where to all the $$$ come from thus not knowing what to tweak.

nice writeup.. i guess a good analytics tool can help bloggers tailor their posts and see what works and what doesnt.

@yatz – yup, the analytics is important IMO. like in Google Adsense, we get to know which ad we placed had been clicked and what’s their CTR.

@tim – great to have you here! and I truly appreciate your explanation. Anyway it’s just a wishlist for more ad types, actually the 468×60 is not just a standard ad dimension but it’s frequently used as well, as seen in G. Adsense, Adbrite and many others.

I think the usage of NN would be even greater should there be more ad dimensions. And I’m sure you guys would be having 468×60 ad types in the near future.

Thanks for the mentioning of the Survey part too. *that part i don’t use la. so i no good at comparing it. hehe*

Just some notes
Ad size: We base ad size on the most popular formats from our advertisers. We transitioned from 160×200 to 160×300 for the SS unit based on their feedback for example. So far these are the sizes that advertisers ask for ( at least the ones in SEA) – it’s much easier for their creative side to prepare ad units based on standard sizes.

Survey: we know it can be a bit long and we have actually been looking at it, problem is that we took the time to produce detailed country breakdowns, the poll unit, etc; but obviously we can’t simply change the survey questions just like that. Rest assured most of the questions do contribute towards blog targeting though.
