My R21 advertising

[weeman212]

Ok, so I've bought advertising in the site partners box on the front page here for my site SimpleFreelance.com

What do you guys think of my advert?

Does it make you want to click?

Do you think it was the right choice buying an advert here?

I will post up my results of my overall campaign so you can all follow me along in my journey.

Feel free to ask questions/make fun of me/look at me like this /or this /maybe even :o

You guys got any good ideas for promotion, free or paid I have missed?

Some of that I am going to spend on some mods for the site, lets see how quickly that dissappears

Ok, here are yesterdays stats, courtesy of google analytics :)



As you can see, there is a big increase with the release yesterday



A few of those '(none)' visits are probably me



As you can see DigitalPoint is giving me the most visitors, NamePros users are looking round more

I didn't have goal tracking set-up, but I have set it up now for when they hit the registration selection page, but I can't track actual sign-up conversions because it's in CGI, unless anyone knows how to put google analytics code into CGI pages?

Anyway, comments are welcome, and I will update more stats tomorrow
