Continuum Marketing: ACTIVE

[Xog]

It looks like most of our clicks are from spiders. Regardless though, we have had 176 people visit getcontinuum.com just from the google adwords. It is only tracking re-direct links to getcontinuum.com from the advertisements. I really can't wait to see tomorrow's results with our price spike!

Also something to note - we are getting RETURNING visitors. The only thing to determine, is if they're the spiders, or PEOPLE returning.

I really can't wait to see tomorrow's results with our price spike!

result:
yesterday we got 191 clicks and 101,000 impressions.

We have also added Googly Analytics code to www.getcontinuum.com to see how many people are downloading the client after clicking the advertisement. We will provide results with the next update (1 week from now).

A few days ago we took a look at it and it was saying that nobody had downloaded the client but the possibility of the setup being incorrect was there. So we asked freakmonger to see how many times the client was downloaded on the page since 12/11/09. To our great satisfaction, it was set up incorrectly. However to our dismay, the bots/spiders are accessing the download link, so we are unable to get a clear picture of how many "people" are downloading the client. I did suggest we had a captcha image verification but the idea was shot down by Dr. Brain by a valid point - those tend to shoo people away. That's the last thing we want.

I'm afraid that bots are accessing the download links...

Where do I dump my money?

[Xog]

See first post on how to donate (very simple with paypal):

So if you're feeling in the holiday spirit, you can send donations to [the advertisement fund] subspace@hlrse.net or subspace@bluetoast.org via Paypal. Contact L.C. on SSForum.net if you would like to donate but cannot do so through PayPal. All of the money we receive will go straight to the funding of the advertisement.

money generated from the ads on these forums should be somewhat diverted into the ad campaign

[Xog]

Although this would be helpful, I'm not going to ask that they do that. I think upgrading servers to improve the game and the user's experience by running an ASSS server would be more important than this. However if that's their desire then I'm sure L.C. will have no problem accepting their donations

I want AS3 and I want it now.

hearing ASS(s) from xog is distrubing, call it AS3 instead <3

On Sunday, the SSC network broke 1,000 users. This hasn't been seen in a while.

Was today "Get Online Day"? or what?

The global concurrent population is somewhere between 200 to 400 more players than usual, no? (Measured this at time of posting.)

EDIT: 500 as a reach.

EDIT2: Dude! Check Google Analytics. There is a nice traffic spike. Three times the traffic than when we ran the Google advertisements with a daily budget of $17.50 or a max search CPC of $3.50 (default being $0.10). Almost 1000 visitors on 1/9/2010!

EDIT3: Hahaha, they're all coming from reddit.com

EDIT4: And here it is... *drum roll*
http://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comme...there_its_one/

email me the link again, lost it.

And 975 on my list... 991 on playsubspace dir.

Definately +150 over normal sunday.

Edit: Broke 1000 w/ SSC Population @ 994

You heard em guys, we're getting tons of users coming from reddit.com because of the google adwords campaign.

It was fun to see the reddit post :P

A website who was doing a Zelda marathon saw it's viewers spike from 300-500 to about 2350 (and constantly over 1000 for most of the duration) mostly because of reddit.

Thank Evasive for his facebook campaign layout and $100 donation. Here are the results from his instructions:

First 24 hours

48 hour Grand Total

but what does that mean?

just 246 ppl clicked the link to some continuum website for 100$ spend?! how many of those actually downloaded the game? 1?

no, 246 on the first day, which was ~$50. overall there was 433 people that clicked on the ad.

That's just from Evasive's two-day facebook Ad campaign layout he had for us.

With google adwords we've had, from the beginning to now:
Impressions: 548,178
Clicks: 1,419
Spent: $138.95
(Last checked over a week ago) Clicks on the download URL: 663
If you're not sure what impressions / clicks are:
1 impression count is 1 time that the ad was displayed on someone's page.
1 click count is someone clicking on the advertisement that was an impression (not someone going to the website directly)

So, no, I doubt only 1 person actually downloaded the game. I'd guess about 80.
