Keywords
Looks good H4l.

I would advise before you pay for an Adword, search it in google first and make certain that Allegiance isn't already rankd in the first few pages.

Google put the ad live yesterday, sooner than I thought cause usually takes them 2 or 3 days to verify billing and approve ad. Here's the results of first day:

Clicks Impr. CTR
213 75,112 0.28%

I was not finished with settings and was totally caught off guard. The budget for the day got used up, I was expecting to get 500 clicks per day with my budget and we will once it is fine tuned. Need a week or 2 of data so I can see the ratio of cost per click per keyword. For example, it seems anything with the word "free" costs more to advertise. Makes sense but isn't funny?

I had not even finished the drill down yet so a lot of click went to mobile devices which is waste imo. As of 2 AM last night it was changed to only laptops and pc's.

Also we can exclude certain countries, suggestions on which countries to exclude?

Also, the ad or certain keywords can be set to only show on certain hours. suggestions?

Have it only show up during what should be "prime time". That way people install, log in, and see people.

This is EXACTLY how to do things. I applaud your efforts and ask that you work with AEM to make his landing page the introductionary page of this game. STOP the silliness of letting emotion decide things, and let facts save the game. It can and could be saved imho fwiw.

Masta, even if his reasons,while I believe to be well meaning, at the end of rthe day feels a bit less than above board, does have a valid point. You need active leadership, dong the vision thing or you are in fact shouting down a well. Currently we have no vision, no active head person, and given the long history of @#$%@#s trying to kill the game there is significant amount of healthish paranoia about power sharing and any change at all.

The retention rate is very low for those that download is about 2-3% from my review of the database a bit ago. The ROI for clicks along with the equally humbling percentage for retention to date means there is a significant amount of analysis, effort, a clear open minded vision to bring things around. Do not think I am mother $#@!ing you, I absolutely think this is exactly the right approach.

The rudderless leadership is hopefully being taken care of behind the scenes. Let's be honest without leadership you are in fact pouring your money down a rat hole. Assuning this is being dooe than I hope one of the following individuals have suffer a closed head injury and are considering the role of head poohba: Back, Raveen, Clay, Duck, or FreeBeer all are the right people to be the Allegiance Prime Minister,

I currently find the game unenjoyable because of a variety of factors. Game play, game size, players who play, the smell of decay, and the god awful connections most days. Fix a few of them and I'll be back farting, slurring, and laughing while my cat meooooooooooooooooooooows all the night long.

If this version of the game dies, rest assured I will work to bring it back with those stupid enough to want to do it.... relucantly, stumbling, and most likely head slappingly dumb but god and God damn it Rama-dama-ding-dong can't jet ski year around ;)

tl;dr and wtf was he rambling about again: I am actively rooting for things to improve because I enjoy that I no longer feel a need to spend 20 plus hours a week devoted to "saving" things.

H4L you're awesome.

At the time of this post there are 191 people on the leader board. There was 140 a month ago.

I've seen a lot of (0)s on today too and they've been able to play cause people have been online most of the day. A strong Friday carried into a strong Saturday.

Keep it up everyone.
