I've implemented a much better ad system now, so this auction is canceled. New auction:

Do you mean gross income? Because a net income of 0.4 BTC means you earned 50.4BTC off two people!
I think what he meant was obvious... he certainly didn't earn 50.4 btc from 2 transactions.
How ever much fun it might be, there is no need to rub salt in his wound with pedantic comments like that.

I believe the ads would be more effective if they were more than just text with a link. Even knowing there might be an interesting promotion, I forget to check it 9 times out of 10, at least, because it just blends into the background.
I have more luck spotting btc businesses in these threads than I do the ads themselves
I agree that something needs to stand out if it is to remain text based. Bigger font, brighter colors... something.
Net Income: 0.391 BTC

I think the market will decide the price if they keep doing auctions. If it is too high, go elsewhere. I can imagine it leveling off at 5 btc a week, but if they can raise more money this way, go ahead!
I do not want to see display ads, but the rotation could be as high as 50/50 with adds and forum announcements.
Also detailed metrics of how the last ads went would be good.

I think advertismemt placement this expesnive shouldbe an image atleast
I paid 50 BTC based on $250 for ~800k impressions, or a CPM of 31 cents or so. Even given the size of the ad, that should be a fantastic price. Here are the full stats:
Number of Clicks: 204
Unique IPs: 177
Conversions: 2
Net Income: 0.391 BTC
A conversion was defined as having made any sort of deposit. We did have ~66 new players in that time, who collectively played for 159 hours. 23 of these players have played for > 1 hour, and 6 of those have been online in the last 24 hours. I've noticed (but haven't formally checked this) that new players don't deposit right away - they tend to play for quite a while using free Bitcoins, even doing some withdrawals initially.
So, this ad campaign definitely wasn't a success, but whether it was a total waste remains to be seen. I'd be glad to share future conversion info on this group of players. Also interested to see how other advertisers fare.

Because Teppy had some disappointing stats (only 204 clicks), I increased the frequency from a sixth to a fifth of all pageloads.
Those are VERY disappointing stats for the price he paid. I think it was in the region of 50 btc as far as I remember. So thats about 0.25 btc/click. Dailybitcoins.org only charge 0.01 btc/click, or in other words, 25 times less. I hope his conversion ratio was excellent.
For 200 clicks, I would not pay more than 10 btc. Thats about 0.05 btc/click, or x5 more than dailybitcoins. He did make a pretty ridiculous bid of 50btc though. The previous bid was only 3 btc. Why he felt bumping the bid by 47 btc was a good idea, I have no clue.
I bid one million dollars.
I think he really ment 250000BTC--------------
But seriously I was gonna bid at 6 BTC until i saw that 11BTC was the last price.... I'll have to wait till I get more funding
anyone want to go in on it ? and create a landing page with our links ? I own the domain not being used bitcoinbetas.com and I'll just change it to display our links

10 btc ....
Put me down for 6 btc, to advertise bitcointorrentz.com
Although such a tiny ass space is not worth 50BTC for just a week, I'd totally recommend doing this long term Theymos. I'd pay a steady 5 BTC a week (along with the rest of the people here) for a rotation with even 30 other ads. But 50? You guys are nuts. It costs less than that to run a full color add on somethingAwful for 2 weeks, and there userbase is over a million.
It's an auction. The price will go only as high as people are willing to pay.
This is the bitcoin forum, with a userbase which might not be larger than somethingAwful's, but I can guarantee more people here know what bitcoins are and are willing to check out what's on the other end of the ad link. *That* is why the advertising here is so attractive to people.
