The Big Secret

So the meeting was on. Big secret meeting. What load of crap! It was Timothy and Ming chairing the meeting. You mean holes that huge able to mend by this 2 shaking souls? It was not too early, cause to hell with the title Executie Director or whatever that means, but a whole load of expectations awaiting, anyway figure this out, do you see director of Google.com posting stupid replies in sporadic blogs? Trying to foist off some postings of accurate reading with your title or name is not going to work out. What about Bill Gates? Friggin replying to you in your post explaining to you why your Windoze has a BSOD?

Its so great to be able to jump on any blogs and comment, right? Comment on the spot not one week later right? Hey dude to be a drug lord, there are certain things you must do. First you must get a few armored SUVs. Second, you need earring on just one ear. I mean helicopter would be hovering overhead but the game would be a fair one. I figure you have no idea that it takes more than a title or money to torch a business. Before you want your freako metabolism, you better learn how to stick it up your ass.

You give the celebrity dudes a big event and you expect the other bloggers to play lego? And then you look amazingly goddamn stubborn when bloggers are pissed off with your motherf-ing handling of them? Meanwhile have you ever seen any Directors or CEO telling people how much they are supporting their own people? Below to right on top, you have the customer service personnel to bullshit, then once it din work, you have managers to sort them and someone who goes around tables and gives everyone what they’ll get since the ball wasn’t played. Neutrality. A business that wins must be prepared to offer remedy for any halting of system. In this case, when it doesn’t go well with bloggers, you freaking bend over and hang your ass in the air.

I’m kinda laughing at the attitude you endorse, I mean if you run the company and you’re on the board, surely you wouldn’t want to be at the frontline melting by public or something? Dare to speak has no connection to earning respect. Look at people around you, in that stupid community, you can speak with a chipmunk accent but you are not offering information using your name but as someone who could raise the issue and reassure the public that you are scare of them abandoning Nuffnang and therefore willing to stamp out any stupid ideas. I mean F your title seriously. You realize you’ve been slapped left right for reasons you overlooked. Beyond your reasons, you need to race around and get shrink for respect and shooting bloggers or something , honestly, I swear to Christ, even if you become the Chairman of Nuffnang, you’re still going to get shot because you f-ing do not know what it takes to be a Director, even a Manager, even a Supervisor.

So here you go, well if things doesn’t run, then you’re probably the last man the public look to you, and you better call them honey, what do you want from me? Saddam Hussein can dance around with some friggin sarong in famous parties but with guys with guns at the door okay?

Now don’t feel so stunned. I mean nobody likes to hurt someone but seriously so long you’ve been sitting there, have you got any idea how to run a corporation? Or your friggin head is gonna explode?

You grow up in a corporation learning the fine art of managing okay? You see those offices, they are not fake okay? Friggin learning how to survive in corporations and invent new surviving methods like every successful people. You got that straight? By the way, have you heard of losers in corporations? Serious, they don’t lose because of ability to work. Scary.

Timothy sitting in office with smoke coming out of ears, Ming is swearing and programmers are kinda laughing or trying to stop themselves from laughing. The whole place is so empty not because of insufficient soul but the clap’s too slow, the coffee’s too bitter and the light’s too dim. The door is not made to scramble through, throw all your fingers at it and collapse it might.

Roar and laugh if you willing and get yourself right back on track working in corporations. Go back anytime. Seriously dude, respect is earned, the need to learn how to earn lies in working humbly for others and that’s all I’m gonna say. Peace out.

Quotes

To accuse this site of being the cause of Nuffnang's corporate behaviour is like the proverbial shooting of the messenger (of bad news)- Harry

No amount of media coverage or publicity can cover up for the lack of deliverance, in my blog at least. If any more friends (especially those with unique visits lesser than mine) ask me about Nuffnang, two words - FORGET IT! - Endoh

Maybe the person concern should reflect more on itself- Claudia

I got an ad this week! Can I boost earnings by asking more friends/visitors to visit my blog? According to Nuffnangs faq, What you earn depends on the number of Average Unique visitors you received in the week before your ad campaign is served. So by the time you know you got an ad coming, its too late to boost the stats. So play hard on your blog every week, not only on the week ads are served. That should keep you on your toes! - Anonymous

If a blog has lower traffic, we cannot ask the advertiser to pay fortunes for it. They pay based on how much traffic a blog gets.- Boss Stewie

... my latest Nuffnang Nike ad only garnered me.....$1.70 PUI!!!! Not even enough for Laurens daily allowance.- Honeymeow

An envelope also doesnt cost 20 cents, where do you buy your envelopes? If you want to charge $1.00, dont tell people its because of this and that, just charge it against their earnings. No one, except you, know how much they are making anyway. So why make the charge visible and risk the ire of the community? Consider that so many of the bloggers carrying your banner are giving you FREE advertising and at the same time giving you the means in which to make a living (without them you have nothing). - Entrepreneur | October 7th, 2007 at 8:28 pm

Labour includes time taken to print out the letter, verify the amount, pack it, and send it off. Labour is more or less subsidised and free in this instance. - Boss Ming

Whilst my peers are making money in comfy jobs in banks or consultancy firms, I have to rely on my family to support my mobile phone bill. Taking an allowance at the age of 24 is not exactly my cup of tea. - Boss Ming

In addition to this there is the postage fee, which by 1st local is 25 cents each (for a stamp). The envelope costs 20 cents each. This brings it up to 95 cents, which means 5 cents for the paper, ink and labour. - Boss Ming

Ive been hosting a Nuffnang banner on my blogs for almost 6 month. Until now I only earn RM1.40 from Firefly Skyscraper 2 which being displayed on my blogs from 01 Jul 2007 - 07 Jul 2007. I really don’t know why Nuffnang can’t gives me the good earning eventhough my blogs traffic is good enough - Anonymous

I also had quite a shock discovery in the past. I ran Nuffnang & Advertlets around the same time, interchanging their banner positions for experiment. 1 month later, while advertlets was earning RM100 (i did not do review for them), Nuffnang gave me only 20 cents! What a mystery. It still has not solved until today. Ppl say I didn’t earn much from nuffnang because of the low traffic but I doubt so. - Zul

With so many thousands(up to 10,000) of blogs *as claimed*, only a hundred or less blogs are selected to advertise. Where do the rest fit in? Nowhere. And so for 80-100% of the time, the remaining thousands run free advertisements for Nuffnang that screams at the eye 'I Serve Nuffnang Ads'. The waiting time is ridiculous and eventually if any, there is not enough Ads to get a Pay Cheque Out because of the minimum sum of $50 to withdraw plus the deduction of $1 for Administrative fee. - Molemole

Have you ever attended any Blog Parties organised by Nuffnang and got to meet other bloggers? Then again... most events (if any) are reserved for people 'closer' to Nuffnang's Co-owner aka Ming. You can almost guess who they are from the Feature Bloggers in the Web. They almost always appear at all Events and huddle together in one group that is almost impossible to penetrate or if you do, meet the hostile glare that says - we're in the middle of our own conversation and you're not welcomed, and you are made to look awkwardly out of place.- MoleMole

I have been using Nuffnang as part of my online monetization tools on one my high traffic blogs for quiet some time now and I am not at all happy with it! :-( I can’t believe that I only earned a pathetic Malaysian 0.30 cents from it. It is utterly ridiculous! I even made more money from Advertlets! I made the decision to totally remove my Nuffnang ads from my high traffic blog a few days back. -Homebis

Congrats on hitting 4k members. Having more members does push your operational cost up. But at the same time, the profits should be increasing at the same rate-if not higher. So if Nuffnang is able to increase their profits the same rate as their membership, then there shouldn't be any problems already. Right? But if Nuffnang is unable to increase their profits at the same rate as their membership, then I think even the $1 transaction fee isnt going to help the company in the long run. Is having more members pulling the company down? - Anonymous

Ming, if you have not get paid from advertisers, then will you return back us $1 when you finally get paid? - Sharon

Boasting about how much advertising they have to bloggers isnt exactly the right mentality to have. No matter how much advertisers you have, are of no meaning to blogger if they arent getting the adverts. Maybe applicable to high end blogs but please be sensitive to lower end. - Bupa

Please stay humble and not telling bloggers you have so much advertisers, if you really really have so much advertisers, then give us some advertisement!! - Cheeze

Ming - We have decided not to comment on the $1 issue, primarily because we feel it will divide the blogosphere and fan the flames of controversy.

Coward -Then why are you commenting here since you said your company decided not to comment on this issue? I see you commenting at several other blogs too. It seems to me that you are only commenting on your supporters blog and not your critics. Weird move I must say.

Timothy - Our clients welcomed us through the door and today we run campaigns for Maxis, DiGi, Honda, Nokia, Nestle, Uniliver, HUGO, Air Asia... you name it.

Coward -Tim, please stay humble, dont let these few adverts get into your head. You havent achieve nothing with these advertisers though i must say they are big companies. You should look at how those tail end bloggers are not benefitting from you doesnt matter you can attract the biggest company in the world

What is Nuffnangs stand? Are low traffic bloggers not worthy of any ads? If that is the case, why the 20 unique visitors limit? Why not raise it to 1000 unique visitors? The reason why this whole issue blow up to this scale is because nobody from Nuffnang came out to address the concern raised by the small time bloggers. Are small time bloggers not worthy a respond from Nuffnang? Is Nuffnang only for celebrity bloggers? Wait… I might not get a respond for this question too. After all, my daily traffic is too low.-Decay
