Facebook Advertisement

[»jabjabjab]

Seems stuff like this would be the best route to getting people to play our game. says for 10 dollars a day on advertisement, an estimate of 20 clicks could be made going directly to something like http://www.getcontinuum.com. doing that for 10 days... 200 clicks. sounds good to me. There's also another way to pay, through bid which seems stupid but w.e.

 

 

We should just donate to a paypal or something to keep the advertisement going if started. Image is optional and size is 110 by 80 pixels.

obviously can be made better but it serves as an example.

http://www.getcontinuum.com/advertise.php too

Facebook has potential.

Its still a 2d game in a 3d world. It's like trying to polish a turd....

A continuum client written in flash (or silverlight because that's much easier in c#) and uploaded as a facebook application would be much more effective

Continuum should be available via browser Java/Flash and on cell phones. It should also be available via console (XBox/360, PS2/3, Wii, PSP, etc).

Umm -- ive already tried this. Didnt map the success, but I only did it for a few months. I actually set it up then quit paying attention. Might work :S

If anyone sees that advertisement on Facebook, holler. I am giving this a go for a few days to see how it goes.

 

11/28/2009	3,091 Impressions	3 Clicks	0.10% CTR	$0.35 Ave.CPC		$0.34 Ave.CPM		$1.04 Spent
11/27/2009	3,419 Impressions	2 Clicks	0.06% CTR	$0.52 Ave.CPC		$0.30 Ave.CPM		$1.04 Spent
Lifetime	6,510 Impressions	5 Clicks	0.08% CTR	$0.42 Ave.CPC		$0.32 Ave.CPM		$2.08 Spent

 

My daily maximum bid right now is $1.04 (I don't want to spent a lot of money right now), so on both days I'm maxing out.

 

EDIT: Aw crap, I should have posted this in http://www.ssforum.net/index.php?showtopic=24058&pid=257794&st=0entry257794

 

EDIT2: Thanks for the merge Purge.

 

Anyone have any opinions on having a community advertising fund?

Thanks for actually trying it, LC. Hopefully this will go well.

Hey I'll put in a few bux and see what comes our way - cant hurt

 

Besides, I disagree about the potential popularity of SS. Indy games are 2d and a lot of them are popular... Look at games like uplink, gish, world of goo, trine (ok thats pushing it but still...) Even while top view RTS games have 3d models, you basically dont notice it when youre zoomed out - i think it comes down to gameplay - at least for some gamers

 

In that regard, we have unique gameplay and therefore no 3d game can offer what we do.

 

lets get this going - where do I send my money? lol

Just set these up: subspace@hlrse.net or subspace@bluetoast.org (PayPal). Any further input and ideas, PoLiX? :? What is the wisest way to allocate funds for advertisements? How would you do it?

 

I am able to set a daily maximum (currently $1.04) and a cost-per-click bid (currently $0.52).

 

If anyone has any ideas for additional Facebook advertisements, feel free to suggest them. Advertisements have a Ad Name (text that links to getcontinuum.com), Description (text beneath Ad Name), and a Picture (between Ad Name and Description, dimensions 110x80).

 

Separately, suggest keywords. I did spend some time figuring out a good combination of keywords. Some keywords appeal to a greater number of estimated people, and some less. ;o

 

So far today:

Date	Imp.	Clicks	CTR (%)	Avg. CPC ($)	Avg. CPM ($)	Spent ($)
11/29/2009	10,688	1	0.01	0.52	0.05	0.52

They proved you could actually polish a turd on mythbusters...

[PoLiX]

though off topic, he is right.

 

So lets see where this goes to start.

[»jabjabjab]

slightly off topic, eg is catching up with TW's pop *interesting* they must be doing some advertising for themselves

[PoLiX]

EG and Chaos are in league season.

No need to start a fund or anything, It's okay that I pay this on my own

[L.C.]

Would advertising be more effective if all the advertisements were billed and maintained through one account?

Yes, but I only wanted to run it for a couple of days to see what kind of improvements you could get with higher bids etc. This won't be a continued project, it's too costly for my own pockets. I only have about $200 spending money a month after paying all my bills & rent.

 

However I will be doing my own donations to the advertising fund if you keep yours open.
