Advertisement pool update - thanks again to those of you who donated.
I am aka MarcSummers. You might be interested to know how your donations are being put to work. While I originally intended to send it to Byron to use toward whatever he does advertisement-wise, he told me to keep it and do something with it. So, I found that google adwords will work within a small budget. $5 dollars/day in our case seemed reasonable as 0.15 btc was raised. Because Google is way behind the times, they dont accept btc yet, so I am funding our little ad campaign presonally and ill reimburse myself with the btc that was raised. adwords appears to do some cost optimization for a few days, so today was the first day of any real activity. Conveniently, they dont charge for impressions, only clicks, so thats like a free billboard. Please note, I dont know what Im doing and learning along the way

judging by the info below, ill probably include more searches with "exchange" or "buy". There are many search terms with alot of impressions, though only these produced clicks.
Some basic info about its effectiveness
