Title: Gauging interest - DailyPaul.com ad
Post by: evoorhees on July 18, 2011, 09:05:59 PM
I'm feeling a little philanthropic today and I'd like to put some btc to good use. I'm willing to throw a couple coins into purchasing a banner ad at DailyPaul.com. If there is enough interest to pool at least 40-50 bitcoins for this purpose, I'll orchestrate it and make it happen. I'll do the design and admin work, so all donations will go toward the actually banner placement. 40-50 btc could get us a skyscraper for two weeks.

I don't really have interest in advertising bitcoin to the general public for many reasons, but targeted ads to niche groups who understand money might be a reasonable community investment.

Here is the demographic and pricing info: https://www.buyads.com/website/daily-paul (https://www.buyads.com/website/daily-paul)

So please post here, and let me know how much you're willing to donate if we can reach 40-50 btc total (I'm hoping maybe 20 people at 2 btc each).

Anyone want to join me?

Why not just make a post in the forums.  Most of the people on the daily paul dont like the idea, tough crowd lol.

Nope... wanted to gauge interest. I'd show creatives for approval before requesting the payments to be sent.

It would have to be a very well targeted ad for the crowd you're looking at. I'd want to see it before even thinking about it.

Anyone can make a post in a forum, and it's more likely to stir up debate instead of drive traffic to WeUseCoins.com. I like putting money where my mouth is, and nobody can debate with a banner ad.

 You might be right about the "tough crowd"... but I bet many of them would click a banner that put Bitcoin and End the Fed on the same graphic  ;)
