Just doing a quick currency exchange at 1 robux to ten tickets, I have 2,352 tickets. I am willing to spend some of that for an experiment. I don't build well, so I am in need of a map. The experiment is if I were to take a quality built game, and make a crappy ad out of it, find how many clicks I get, how many visits the game gets, and the click to view ratio. For seven days I will run the ad at a 100 ticket bid.
For the map, I will take it as a model (which will have to be a quick exchange via party/chat), then insert it into studio to upload as one of my maps. If you are a BC member I will donate the profit made on the game. I will use the map for nothing but the experiment, I will not view any scripts inside, I will not do ANYTHING to directly modify the map. The experiment will be stated in the description.
At the end of the experiment I will change the place to something else, stop the ad, end the servers (if there is any) and delete the model from My Models. I will post all the information on the experiment at the end, on this forum (Building Helpers). Then I will start another experiment, with an excellent ad, and a crappy place I made. :P
P.S. The map is donated for temporary use (you will not be paid, except for the profit).

To see if people will click the thread to complain about it in the comments, see the game, then play it. Almost reverse physcology.

I usually only go for ones that have 1 spelling mistake or a stupid fact that is wrong, just so i can complain. Then i dont play the game, because im a boss |

Scacman1967's place is free to take, I'm sure he'd be interested in the outcome. |

There is the ad. It is rather cheap, dull, and I can't believe I would spend money on it.

You can use anyone of my maps, I can't group them into models because there mostly voxel terrain. But I've created 5 so far ,I can set them up temporarily in my place uncopylocked.
So who's games are you using for the bad ads? LOL |

Just started up the ad. That took forever to be moderated.

If only for a short time , it feels good to play my game on someone elses server. Thanks for this opportunity. Too bad my scripting skills are nonexsistant. Good luck on the trial, can't wait to see how it turns out. If you get more hits than I do, I will seriously think about advertisement. |

-_- this feels like a scam to steel good places from good builders. |

There is no scam going on here. theopfor is doing an ad experiment, and asked to use anyones game for it. I agreed to let him use my freegame for this experiment and anything else he wants to use it for. After all the game is free for a reason.
The map being used was acquired through permission and is totally legit. |

It's been a week, not many hits , but I still think it was successful because the ad brought them in to complain, and they still looked at the game.
It was a waste of money for the amount of clicks you got , hopefully your next ad hails better for clicks.
theopfor do you have anything for sale that I could buy to make up for your ad losses? |

Next experiment you should have the same ad, same place, different thumbnails. One epic, one terrible. See what turns out better. |

Okay. I think this is the last day for advertising as my 700 I promised (which I boosted to 760 because the second day I send it ten tix up in bid) is almost depleted.
