Hi,
I would like to hear your opinion (or about your experience in) advertizing a gambling site. I have created and am running
YOLOdice.com, yet another gambling site. Now the thing is it's doing pretty well, but is quite young (little over 1 month). It already has investors, players and I am sure it's on the right way to become a big one, but I would like to speed the process a bit with advertizing.
We are already doing:
*
sig campaign on BitcoinTalk*
in-site referral program* started
Twitter giveaways and planning a few more
But I am looking at other options and was thinking about checking advertizing - CPM or CPC. Since I have never advertized a gambling site, I can see there are already a few Bitcoin-centric advertizing networks, I would really like to hear some opinions if you decide to share!
Thanks and cheers,
Ethan
I was planning a similar campaign for fastdice (it is out of business now)
in addition to the already running promos (signature,twitter and onsite affiliate)
you can consider several more options such as:
1.bitcoin ad networks advertisingmy recommendation will be: anonymous ads and mellow ads daily campaigns
you can plan campaigns there according to your daily or weekly budget
you can choose publishers/ad places with AADS,traffic quality etc.
both of the networks give ok results if there is no possible affiliate leakage,i.e. in your case you are the owner
so you do not care if the reflink was deleted
2.paid reviews,top entries,articles3.bitcoin PTC,bitcoin buxes there are many sites that offer a small bounty in satoshis for a direct visit
usually only unique visitors during 24 hours count
surprisingly enough,proved to be one of the most cost effective solutions
4.social media adstwitter account,facebook page,youtube channel and a blog-these are the minimum requirements for a top online gambling site nowadays
there are services that earn money for retweets or posts or a link under their videos etc.
could be useful,f.e. a retweet to 37.000 followers can cost you 15$,worth exploring
youtube videos of "100% winning systems" "how I made 100500 btc in 10 seconds at Yolodice" "epic winsteak " etc.= they work
5.bitcoin forums dedicated topics,earn forum topicstime consuming and costly (if delegated),but super effective:
get a list of the bitcoin,earn,gambling,hack forums etc. and post a uniformed message with a reflink
gives you steady traffic and many signups,too
6.giveaways,promotions,onsite chat gamesthe theory behind this is simple: whales bring profit,to attract or nurture whales your site ought to have some plankton
say,0.05 daily giveaway budget attracts players and makes your chat alive,many players come to socialize,not only gamble
most of the dice sites offer same old 1% house edge,provably fair,etc.
the competition is very steep-giveaways and chat games and bonuses allow you to create separate topics=cheap additional advertising+bigger freebie loving crowd
there are more ideas
but this should be enough for you,for now
