Forum Promotion ($)

[SSJ2]

I'm looking into paid forum promotion to help get our name out there, as well as improve our forum on the search engines. It seems as though this feature is kind of expensive, but I will pay it if necessary. I'd simply like to know your guys' opinion on this.

 

[Pyro]

Can you elaborate?

If you pay for ad removal, Zetaboards will allow you to put up Google adscenes. Thought you might like to know.

Anything that helps the member base grow I approve of.

You're going to have to get yourself forum donators, though. I'm not willing to help pay because I don't even have a job yet.

Also, get even more staff. I strongly recommend CC as a Super. He is very capable of this position if you choose to expand more.

As in I can make revenue? How does that work?

That's a discussion for a different section.

I'm not sure how to implement it, but here's an article on it. (Don't know how good it is; tl;dr 4me)

Looks good if there is a lot of traffic.

 

[Mr. Popo Fan]

The board will definitely need more activity to make decent money from adscenes, but yeah, if anyone can pull it off, it's probably you.

 

[SSJ2]

I was considering removing the ads anyway, so this definitely gives me more incentive to do it.

 

[Son Gokū]

I ain't got no money, but good luck regardless.

I had an advertisement for senior dating :'(

Does it cost much to get one of those paypal buttons in the corner?

Google knows you're into old women. It's nothing to be ashamed of.

Honestly I'm not even sure how to go about such a thing. I would ask Tim, but he's not exactly thrilled with me at the moment...

 

[Mr. Popo Fan]

Those Paypal buttons are free. I know because I set up one for GI back in the day.

Here's another tl;dr article. Looks about right.

[SSJ2]

I'm getting page doesn't exist. lel

 

[Pyro]

It works for me. Seems pretty easy to implement.

[Mr. Popo Fan]

Odd. Now I'm getting the same message. The URL worked fine before.


From what I gathered, when you log into Paypal, click "My Account" and you should find a button creation page.

Try a different browser?

 

[SSJ2]

Different browser didn't work. But I will log into PayPal and try to figure it out.
