Ad image slow

[xexes]

I'm having some issues with your ads.

I noticed that on all of them, your hosting with postimg.org which is being super super slow. Friday it was fast, sat, sun, and today it is hideously slow. I'm really worried that this will hurt your advertising campaign - someone will see the ad as a broken image (because postimg is so slow), and then wander off, deciding that our site must be dead already because the image is broken. Would it be possible to re-host these images elsewhere? Say, imageshack or photobucket? (Both are free but require registration) Tinypic is horrible (it drops your images) and imgur goes down frequently because it's the staple of larger websites like Reddit.

Also, for your first ad, you have some text, too, which is great. But, with your newer ads, it is an image-only ad which is actually bad - some people are prejudiced against image-only ads. So if you can, I'd really recommend that you add text to those ads, too. It's so petty to ask this, but I really feel that it will make a huge difference in your advertising response.

Also, I noticed that your ad says "Estyre Legends is a Limitless fantasy beast roleplay. " and I would really recommend changing that to "Estyre Legends is a limitless fantasy beast roleplay with no word count. " = ]

No word count is a really attractive phrase right now. People are starting to realize that quantity != quality and are wanting to be free from having to meet a wordy requirement. You're already no-word-count, putting it in your ad just answers some questions and makes you more attractive.

And also the "Limitless" => 'limitless" removes that capitalization. The capitalization implies "this is for Limitless, the genre!" but I don't know of any such genre (unless I'm mistaken). When someone sees the ad, they think "But I don't know of the Limitless genre. Must not be for me. Ah well...." as if Limitless is akin to Warriors or Twilight or some other series. So removing the capitalization should also help a great deal.

I know these are super, super picky things, but I really feel they will help you. The average web surfer only spends 2-3 seconds per page, so it's important to try to be as perfect as possible with your ad. Whereas no one will really notice or care if you misspell a word here or there on the site, if there are misspellings on your ad, people will completely dismiss the site, because they are picky. That's why it's important.

Your ads are 99.8% perfect, and fixing that 0.2% will bring probably a 33% increase in people who follow the ad. = ]

[Estyre Legends]

All the points you've mentioned make perfect sense to me, and I'm grateful you pointed them out. My pc is super fast so regardless of image host everything loads instantly, I hadn't even considered the possibility and only switched to postimage recently after I had a series of troubles with photobucket, namely them constantly re-sizing images I need to be perfect. For the add I think it would be best to move it over, and I'll do so before any more advertising.

I've been rolling over the image vs text for a bit now. From experience when looking for an add I was always more inclined to go with the images or very short right to the point text, but also know that more often than not these aren't what people go for. It leaves me a little lost though, as I've got no idea what to include that would help besides a small sniped of info from the site, what snippet this should be and what it should cover is really hard for me.

Estyre legends is a word-count free fantasy beast RP with limitless possibilities?

I hadn't considered that people could look at it that way, but it makes sense now. Again, I'm really no good with advertising, I take the 'here, do you like this? No? Okay then.' approach instead of the proper 'see this, this is amazing, it'll change your life, you can't live without it. No, wait! Don't dare leave because LOOK it also has THIS.' approach, which I should be using.

The text that you already have for the first ad (the one with text) is fine and dandy, it works well.

Estyre legends is a word-count free fantasy beast RP with limitless possibilities?

That almost works perfect. Just change the wording of the wordcount part so it makes more sense to well-versed roleplayers. "No word count" is the accepted phrase, so the best phrasing would be :

Estyre legends is a no word-count fantasy beast RP with limitless possibilities!

And then you have an expert ad.
