Advertsing

[Jenno]

Simply put:

We need people

People respond to advertisments

We need advertisments.

Any ideas?

[The Conman]

A PLAN THAT CANNOT FAIL:
1 ADVERTISE
2 GAIN PEOPLE
3
4 PROFIT

actually, we need to do some sort of a BX, that should get people coming here.

[Corstar]

Banner thingy. That scrolls along the bottom. Advertises peoples. When you advertise other people, they advertise for you, people click and join if they think it looks cool.

Of course that requires looking cool. I know I look cool. Who else can say that?

[Regnier]

I think he means Affiliate.

[Corstar]

yeah that.

[Jenno]

Anybody know how to do that?

[Ashi]

The two best ways (in my opinion) are to: 1 purchase an ad somewhere or 2 make an ad and post it in your sig on other sites. I've also known people who write journals/blogs about a new site. but that has limited contact.

[Jenno]

Ok, so I just checked, we get, aside from the members, only about 13 hits a day, and we're not even ON google, which is how everybody found us at the old site.

So if anybody can do a BX, let me know.
And if anybody has another idea, let me know.
So far I like these ideas. Do them!

[Jenno]

well we got onto google, finally.

And we've got an affiliates box. I've added us to about six new webrings.


But I still like the idea of a BX, and I've made a banner with a link, so now all we need is somebody to exchange with.

We need affiliates. Anybody here on other sites what might be interested in a SW RP?

[Vehem]

I'm putting up a box with affiliates in on my site, I know a few places where you can advertise. I'll send them over here. and what the heck is bx?

[Jenno]

Banner Exchange.

Same thing basically.

[Ardenator]

Hmm, maybe getting on game ratings sites? like a pbp RPG listing? Or a games directory?

[Jenno]

Great idea.

Anybody know how to do that?

[Ardenator]

Later tonight I'll go through all the directory and ranking sites I know of, and I'll look and see how one would submit their website.

[Jenno]

Great, you get karma!!!

[Ardenator]

Why thank you.

The two I can rattle off right off the bat are Wowee and Desert Realm. Wowee is a straight up RPG Index, and Desert Realm's kind of a three in one pbp RPG, RPG directory, and search engine.

wowee.sambal.net/factory.php?SID=07b711a84c4557cc45e3fb0ed517581b&template=links_list

That's wowee. At the top right of the page you'll see al ink that says add url, click that and it will take you through a thing to add your website.

www.desertrealm.com/submiturl.php

That'll take you through getting your URL on the search Engine.

www.desertrealm.com/directory/

And that one will take you through adding your site to the directory.

I'll PM you as I find a way to get added to other indexes and directories.

[Jenno]

....aaaand we are now on Wowee. Good work, Ard. Good work. Keep it up, everybody!

[Ardenator]

Thanks, I hope the rest of the ones I sent ya will work as well.

I know a site you could try to Affiliate with. It's an RP site that I go to quite often.

www.animeleague.net

They do have other affiliates, and you can talk to them. The site there is huge, so if we can do that, then we could get ourselves quite a gathering here.....and a gathering of great RPers.

[Xaojii]

Chances are they might like Fantasy, I know quite a few anime nuts, they also do alot of fantasy stuff too. Could be good, and we need it on the other one pretty badly.
