Like I posted, there isn't a need for Ping.sg to seek permission from APLINK to post a competitor ad. However, if Ping.sg was interested to build a better relationship with an existing advertiser, the least they could have done was to inform APLINK. For Nuffnang and Advertlets, you just cut and paste the code and the ads are on your site. It is up to you, as a content owner, to decide which ads go on it. Furthermore, they are ad agencies, not advertisers per say. In APLINK's case, there were persuasion involved to convince the client to advertise on Ping.sg. Furthermore, there were some programing work done on the client's side. The client could have spend the time and money to approach other mediums, but with APLINK's persuasion, the client went with Ping.sg instead. Hence, a simple email just highlight to APLINK that Ping.sg is going to put up a competitor's banner ad would be the bare minimum that Ping.sg should have done to build that relationship. APLINK wasn't aware of the competitor's ad until the client asked him about it. That put him in a real awkward position. @Ivan.
