GFY Advertising , Oh my....

[Nickatilynx]

ahahahahahahahahahahaahaha

I have to share this....


So far two people that advertise on GFY have bitched to me they get no return on it.

One has even done tests , lol.

"So cancel"
"And get banned?"
"Well getting banned will get you more publicity than you are getting"

ahahahahahahahahahahahahhaha

We at Oprano are doing a stop gap redesign in the next few days to give more bang for there buck for our ever incresing valued sponsors and then we are doing a full scale redeign in order to make Oprano prettier and to give our sponsors more bang for their buck.

You could share more.....:)

Whoever isnt getting in on advertising here had best add it to their list.

I have a feeling that some big things are about to happen around here.

Well, premature posting is better than premature ejaculation.... :D

[gonzo]

You gotta pay to play with the cool kids...

Who says not a referring click?
I used to find some cool programs and sponsors over there in the threads. Thats been a few years ago though.

Reminds me when having an IZOD shirt was all the rage back in high school... didnt matter that the redneck flannel shirts some of us wore were more durable ... we didnt look cool.

I see those guys on occasion asking ...paper or plastic.

You our sponsors are serious about business as they are looking for a return on investment and not to win a popularity contest.

[SykkBoy]

I actually draw quite a few clicks from posting there and have picked up a couple nice mid-sized affiliates...so no complaints...
but that's from posting and being a smartass, as I don't have much knowledge of clicks produced from just banners...

The benefit of having a banner there is like any other board - you get to have a full sized banner in your sig and pinned messages. :)

When they ask look at them seriously and say

Plastic, who pays cash for their groceries anymore

If the bag person is really obnoxious you can quickly inform them about the frequent filers miles you're getting and where you'll be going with them soon


ah ha ha ha ha

some of us get enough attention we don't need a big flashy banner in our sigs ;-))

although, when you finally break down and pose for BustyAmatuerBoobs.com, I'll switch my button out and we'll really see some clickthroughs ;-)

True but, some people get away with having a full sized banner anyway as for a pinned thread.. an ICQ to a couple of the right people can ensure your threads stay in the top 10-15 threads pretty much all day long ;)

That is the primary advantage of GFY, you can get your promotional messages seen by thousands of eyes sometimes in less time that traditional marketing methods would :)

[spazlabz]

very VERY soon my advertising dollars will be parking their hyper asses right here on Oprano for certain. already cleared it with the man and just waiting on all the redesigns and project completions to launch, and the DAY we kick open the doors to our new program its going to be announced where? Here, and thats it. Not because I don't want to make a big deal about it, its just IMO opinion this is the board to pimp on because of the variety of posters.
I have my fingers crossed that the company i work for advertising will be here for a very long time to come

[Anthony]

I was talking to Darby last night from Rectal Revenue and he is gushing over the advertising he's getting from Oprano.

Nick and Gonzo, I know I was negative when you guys took over with my, "Why the fuck do you want to run a board again"...

But WOW! You guys have done beyond awesome, it's unfucking real!

Hehe, fair enough :) The 3k was just from a reply to an email with no discussions.

[JoesHO]

I must say thank you to all the people we have gained from our advertising here on Oprano as well.


Kudos to you Nick and Gonzo , for making it possible for anyone to afford advertising again.

I can't speak for other boards, but I know any small to medium program owner that has to consider a budget, that the return on investment we have recieved from Oprano is doable and effective.

I am afraid if the price was 2 or 3 K per month that might not be the case for a company our size.

Not to mention that someone that sets up a tgp with our program and knows what they are doing produce a much higher return, than the ones that are just getting started and get less than 1,000 hits a day and pick the wrong sponsors so our 10% webmaster referral we gain and our 1% traffic skim do not amount to much from ten users like that.

However for the ones that know what sponsors to use, and how to move traffic around ( the shaarks and whales) that same system becomes much more profitable to us .

I can only imagine as a pay program sponsor that the quality differences over the quantity would equal less overhead ( time spent babysitting the young ones LOL) and a much greater return as well.

How does that rotation thing work anyway?
I always thought if you were an advertiser , that you werre in rotation and it was a random thing, is that not the case? anybody know?

Thanks Anth... I consider that high praise coming from you. Its great knowing that Darby is happy with whats going on over here. I trust he will let us know if he needs anything further. We are here to help!


Thanks Joe!

I trust that your campaign for Remote Thumbs is doing well for you also. Nick and I appreciate the support. Let us know if you need anything as well.

To both of you...

As I told Far L yesterday... the tone of community is defined by the members that frequent it bot as lurkers and active participants. The active participants help keep things interesting and they draw people back to see what they have to say. Lukers and participants BOTH determine the success of the board's revenue by clicking on sponsors and signing up.

Its the members that make the difference. We just serve as hosts!

BTW the ads are totated on an equal unwieghted rotation in PHPads. So everyone gets seen and a chance at the click!

Thanks Anth and Joe... I know both of you are responsible for helping attract new members to this community as well!

You're a shit stirrer though!! LOL

There are different ways to get the most out of your advertising. I'm sure some people are quite happy with GFY and maybe some aren't. Goes with the teritory. One thing I think helps greatly no matter where you are is being an active part of the community you advertise in.
