A while back we asked for some help raising money for advertising, and we managed to bring in $480. Originally this $480 was going to go directly to one specific site however due to multiple factors we've decided to dish out the money through google ads around the web instead. We've also decided that we wont be alerting the audience as to which sites we are advertising on, as we are worried about sabotage from the fine folks who would like us to remain silent. We've set up an extensive, and horribly confusing system for anyone who would attempt to find our ads and click them over and over again. Part of this system includes having ad placements on a wide array of sites. We're very proud and happy to have ads running on some of the sites we're currently on. Furthermore there are several atheist orgs and sites that we like to support and have ensured our ads would be weighted heavier on those sites(helping both RRS and a friend site at the same time). You should start to see an influx of highly intelligent people as well from varying areas from psychology, biology, evolution, cosmology, physics, and more. While most of the campaign is aimed at people who would agree with us who can become part of our efforts, we are also running an in your face ad on a few Christian sites:

It is specifically because of ads like the following, that this campaign to bring in traffic will be highly successful:

A test comparison picture was actually larger and is Googles most successful size ad... but it was 480 times less likely to be clicked than the one above...

While both graphics are in the campaign for some balance in marketing types, using the first ad alone without the second would save us well over $1,000 per year (if we could afford to keep going) because we pay based on how many times an impression is made... not based on clicks. Since the first picture is 480 times more likely to be clicked than a comparable picture (we tested and did the math), and we pay for the impression not the click... we'll receive more visitors as a result. To appease a few of the "please don't put women" on ads people, only half of our ads feature our model by herself. (her fans can get a little more time with her here)

Here is some proof that since Oct 15th we've been spending money on ads, and have started a $15 a per day campaign until the $480 runs out. However we here at the house believe in this so strongly we're gonna dip into savings and throw another $520 at it for an even $1,000. Unless of course.... you decide to donate... and then it'll keep going. The first two campaigns were text ad and video campaigns that proved not to be nearly as successful and as inexpensive for us as picture ads. For reference: CPM= Cost per thousand impressions ---- CPC=cost per click ---- CTR=click through rate (play rate referred to video ads)


We know through research that grass roots activists like yourselves like to know exactly where your money is going, and so we hope this advertising project will be one way for you to help us over the long term anytime you want to throw a few dollars towards boosting site traffic.

As you can see there is no dollar limit on this project. We will utilize every cent that comes our way on ads. You will be able to see every penny and we will update this thread every month or two with updated stats including total dollars spent. The end result will be at least the $480 already donated, the $520 we're throwing on top, and whatever you give.... (this will run for as long as we exist).
With the campaign we set up we could go up to $800 per day and still only be seen about 1% of the time between all of the sites we are set up on.


If you would like to donate $1,000 or more specifically to this project, and would like your donation to be tax deductible, please contact us and we'll help arrange it. (serious inquiries only please)
