A great advertising oppertunity
Hello,
I have recently bought a server for the game call of duty. This server is extremely sucessful considering that it is only in its first week online. I have decided to help support the server by means of selling advertising space on it. I have realised that having an active server as a means of supplying traffic is a far easier and a less demanding way then setting up a website.
Here are some questions and answers about what I am offering
1. When and where will users see my link?
Users of my server will see the link displayed at the end of the name of my server (Also meaning that users don't even have to join the server to be potential visitors), and also I will install a script that will make the server display your url right infront of the players eyes every 5 minutes or so.
2. What makes this different to having a link on a website?
Well, having a link on a website that receives traffic can be like trying to find a needle in a haystack, and people dont want to look for links, they want to be showed them but our server will be anouncing them to people that are garunteed to be active. You wont find any people who have been sent from people who pay for users to click on a link. Users come from all over the world to play, so theres plenty of oppertunity for a forum dedicated to a certain country.
3. I know that there are people there, but how active is it, and what are the people like?
The server has been running for a little over a week, and things couldnt be better. As well as all the traffic we get, the quality of players has been so great that we decided to form a clan. This means even more traffic, and if the users are spread over the world, the chance that we may have 24/7 activity. So far we have people who play from the UK, US and around europe. The things that made us decide to start a clan were that
We are dedicated, and decided to put that to good use
The fact that most of the players on the server are freindly and sociable
We wanted the server to be active
In the first week alone the log files for the speech and kills of the server cover 2500 A4 pages! With each kill and communication text covering one line. Meaning over 137,000 peices of activity!
Plus we have recently recruited a set of admins to keep play fair, and the quality of the game better
4. So, exactly how many people will be visiting my site?
Well, the traffic usually starts at 4pm, and ends at 12 pm. Lets say that there are on average, 7 people at any one time in that period and that they each play for 30 minutes.
To approach how many people per day lets say that rather than people coming and going as they would really, every 30 mins a new 7 come on. With a new 7 coming on every half an hour, and 16 half hours its simply a case of multiplying 16 by 7, giving 112 views.
So thats 112 views so far. But some people may be coming back to the server (because they think its so great
) so lets round it down to approx 100 unique views a day.
Then theres the people that see the url whilst browsing a list of servers. This however, is much the same as looking at a link on a website...in amongst lots of other text and info. If I had included those views, the potential visits would be in the thousands.
