Russky Posted December 12, 2009 Report Posted December 12, 2009 How do I give money to it? I got 5 dollars on a paypal I have no use for Quote
L.C. Posted December 13, 2009 Author Report Posted December 13, 2009 Still waiting for Google to make a deposit into my bank account so that I can verify my AdWords billing setup. Quote
L.C. Posted December 15, 2009 Author Report Posted December 15, 2009 Ok! Bank account verified and advertisements are now running. If you would like reports/statistics access to the advertisements, private message me the e-mail address you would like me to "invite." Quote
L.C. Posted December 16, 2009 Author Report Posted December 16, 2009 (edited) Within just a couple hours, the advertising campaign for Continuum/Subspace has achieved a CTR of 0.22% and an average CPI/IPC of about 850 impressions. Facebook was only able to get us a CTR no greater than 0.05% and a CPI/IPC of about 2080, for about $0.30 per 1000 impressions or $0.50 to $0.75 per click. Google AdWords: 19 clicks, 8583 impressions, and only $3.09 spent. Facebook would be charging about $20 to $40 for this. I won't be posting updated statistics here, so I encourage you to request statistics/reports access from me if you are interested in keeping track of where money is going and how the advertising campaign is going. I will be setting up a "balance" meter thing in the OP to help me adjust the daily maximum budget accordingly. The formula I will be using to determine the daily budget is to divide the daily balance by 7 (this way the advertising campaign will theoretically "never" stop and will be dynamically based on how much money is available).

Samapico Posted December 24, 2009 Report Posted December 24, 2009 503-555-1212 That's a 555 number. 555 numbers are universal numbers used in movies and such.. they're not real. Not all numbers that begin with 555 are fictional—for example, 555-1212 is one of the standard numbers for directory assistance throughout the United States and Canada. In fact, only 555-0100 through 555-0199 are now specifically reserved for fictional use, with the other numbers having been released for actual assignment. How exactly this will intersect with the many uses of 555-2368 (one of the more commonly used fake numbers)[1] by AT&T and other telephone companies, remains unknown. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/555_(telephone_number) http://home.earthlink.net/~mthyen/2000.html Quote
