Advertising AW

Alright, so from what ive heard, as soon as the beta ends, AW is going to start having ads, which is awesome. But if moneys a issue, I found this, AdDesigner.com. Looking forward to the final release guys, and seeing alot of players come in from ads would be great.

Thanks. Though as a graphic designer I probably won't require a banner generator Also, banner advertisement is a thing of yesterday - ads at reddit and FB, for example, only require a small thumbnail and a description.

Except the fact most people who use FB dont even look at the ads , but hey, im sure ign, youtube, newgrounds and twitter would be good places to stick em

You can argue that people don't look at ads anywhere However, so far FB proved to be the best way to advertise. You cater only to the carefully selected demographics with specific interests, and then you pay only for the actual clicks. Perfect. It's also much, much cheaper than placing big banners on places like IGN or Newsgrounds.

I found AW through FB, and so did several other players that I know on here...

I found this on facebook too XD I was trying to look for an epic strategy game, and I was sure not disappointed

Yeah I also found this game from Facebook. Just because small personalized ads don't work for you doesn't mean it doesn't work for everyone else. Just because you click on banner ads doesn't mean that everyone else do, I tend to ignore big banners if they are irrelevant. I would hate to see this game ruined by huge banner ads.

Never thought of it that way, it's just most people I know don't bother with ads, so if you made it look flashy and cool, maybe more people will check it out? well, anyways im just glad aw's gonna get out there, sooner or later

Forums, rewievs, adds...

Get this game into the top people!!!

I believe ogreview.org needs 1 more AW review to put on the top of that list.

It's not a very big site, but it could bring in a few more players

Sorry sific, apparently that site says I have some sort of "SQL error" because I wrote in proper English, I also noticed the site isn't very "clean" (many errors, cut-offs etc.) so that leads me too believe no that many people use it. Is there any major reviewing website that I could post a review on?

Well Afterwind is being promoted on 4chan pretty well... if never saw that post on /v/, and /a/ i would have never heard of this game in the first place.

I also found AW on facebook

FB ads are a big deal now. I would suggest a small AdWords campaign though, if you're not already doing that. Also, Afterwind.com is lacking on the SEO/SMM front. I did notice you've done some decent keyword work on the site though.
