Like what I had in mind, the blog advertising network Matched.co.uk finally closed. I had this weird feeling that Matched will not materialize in the long run. This is because there are very few advertisers in the network and its offers to publishers are not very appealing (at least in my view). Add to that the fact that I did not make any money with the network. lol!
At any rate, this is the netowrk’s email to me last week. At first I finally cut a deal with any of their advertisers but I was wrong all along:
It is with much regret that we announce that Matched.co.uk has closed.
Matched has been running as a beta experiment for some time and, after much careful consideration, it has been decided not to progress the project to the next stage.
As a result, Matched will not be accepting new sign-ups and will no longer be assigning adverts to its current publisher base.
If you completed your last payment run before November 19th 2008, you will still be paid, but please note that no future payments will be made after this. Therefore, we recommend that you remove any Matched ads from your websites.
Thank you very much for being part of the Matched.co.uk experience and we wish you the best of luck for the future success of your websites.

[...] has stopped its operation. Well, Nuffnang Philippines’ website is still up but just like Matched.co.uk (which closed down in November 2008), I am afraid I will not get paid again after serving these ads [...]
