the one with BlogBank's Blogspot problem

The following post is a copy of the comment that I tried to post on the article "Ad codes on Blogspot Blogs" on BlogBank's official blog. This post is also the one that I emailed to them to which Mr. Markku Seguerra replied to.



Comment/Email:


The problem that I see with this is blogspot refactoring the code for your ads and that refactored code does not work.

Sample original code:

Sample code that has been refactored by blogspot:

I refactored the code myself so that the code would still work even if blogspot refactor it.

Sample code that I have refactored:

Sample code that has been refactored by blogspot:

The ads are now working on my blog. I'm just wondering if what I did, refactoring the code, is permitted and, like marhgil's question, do you guys still properly track the ads, even if I refactored it?

Mr. Markku Seguerra's reply:

" Hi Maruel, thanks for trying to find a solution for this. I will be checking if tracking still works as intended and will get back to you right away. =) "

I think this problem also has a connection on whether you are using layouts or templates. I'm using layouts and I had the same problem like everybody else while marhgil uses templates and he does not have a problem and just copy-paste the code.

So, that's what I did. I just don't know if its ok to them that I refactored their code. I'm temporarily assuming that it's ok because of the smiley =) at the end their reply, hehe! :D Lets just wait for their next post about this issue. I hope they are still properly tracking the ads I placed.

Hamburgers and French Fries

A very short survey, having only 3 questions, about hamburgers and french fries. That's an easy $0.45 or Php18 for just answering a 3 question survey and additional $2.05 or Php82 if you share your answers by posting it on your blog(s) and/or social network(s)!

the one with the 100EC Credits going on 200EC Credits

I've been constantly dropping my Entrecard for 3 weeks now with an average of 60-80 drops per day. As you can see, its not that much as 60-80 drops is just the 20%-27% of the total drops you can make each day which is 300 drops, but two weeks ago, the cost to advertise on this blog through Entrecard hit the 100EC credit mark. That means that even if I don't drop my card that much, a large percentage of the entrecarders, which I dropped my card, reciprocates a drop. I also noticed that the same entrecarders drop their card to me everyday and have become, sort of, like, my regular droppers. Thank you regular droppers, haha! I've been also trying to drop on every entrecarder that have dropped on me for the past week so the cost to advertise on this blog is now going to reach the 200EC credit mark. The downside to this is I don't receive many ad requests like before but that's ok because I'm still happy for the Entrecard traffic I'm receiving! :D

Weather -- It's Everywhere!

Whether you are in the city, the province, another country or anywhere in the world, weather will always be there. It will never fail to follow you wherever you go. So wherever you are, I'm inviting you to take this survey, whether it is sunny, rainy, cloudy, stormy, windy, or whatever weather you have there right now. You can post your answers on your blog(s) and/or you social network(s) so that you can share it with your friends. Hope you have a fine weather out there!
