Advertising on GFY ???
 

Want to advertise on GFY, anyone ever done it ? What sort of costs are there ? I wont be skinning the site as we're new... wondered what the first step on the ladder costs lol...

Anyone know ? Emailed the guys for the rate card... so fingers crossed they will reply soon :thumbsup

I have several times... I'm not sure what they charge today.

Email Eric for rates and info... eric AT adult.com

are you allowed to advertise non-adult stuff?

Thanks
 

Thanks Doc... I have a couple times already, he must be busy playing shoot em ups on the XBox 360 Live :(

I have always wanted to ask this question to an advertiser on GFY; how was your ROI?

If you would rather not answer I understand or if you would like to keep it confidential you could e mail me, I would be interested in knowing the answer to that :) Thanks

I think regular board advertising is more about branding than direct ROI results, but I will say the one time I did skin this board the ROI was awesome! :pimp

True dat.

It is a solid investment for getting your name out there if you are new, or looking to tee off some new promotion or pricing etc..
:thumbsup

You must be new here,otherwise you would know how they dont discriminate anyone :1orglaugh

It's been a few years... We unknowingly did launch style campaign, had a set end date across several industry resources/forums, shows, mags, everything.. a set of block of money to spend as well. We used unique ads during a time when banners still stood out, had contests and giveaways, went to shows, did parties, all that crap... we went to town in every corner that we could think of. It was targeted towards getting our new product out, our names out, faces, etc.

I can't recall directly if gfy or any ad made it's money back, through the link provided at least.

But I do know we made our full investment back before the year ended. It also provided new connections that still live on today. We had a reason to advertise, something new and good to promote, out of pure luck we created a set cycle of events to happen, not that it all worked out, but because we covered so much ground in such a short period of time, it exploded us into our market.

The last time I advertised was again another unique product, that only I had at that time. We did not have tracking on links for the product, and again we did ads, booth, party, shows, etc all at once but we spend a heck of a lot less money this time around. While the product was an extreme success for us, I really don't think our ads/booths, etc helped much if any with this product. The money would have been better spent on more sales people.

Hope that helps...

ya i think skinning the board would be the most profitable

Most people don't discuss the costs on here, I'm sure Eric will get back to you or if you know anyone who is currently a sponsor you could ask them.

Cool - I might get GFY, skinned to sell toothpaste.....

Thanks
