Members Kreatorkind Posted May 24, 2012 Members Share Posted May 24, 2012 I just don't know what to do with it. I want to use it to promote my album, but I'm just not sure what sorts of keywords or whatever, would be best. My album is basically alternative rock in the vein of Smashing Pumpkins and the like. Any ideas? Here's the link to the album Any thoughts/advice would be appreciated. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LordBTY Posted May 24, 2012 Members Share Posted May 24, 2012 I have no idea how google advertising works, but I have experimented with facebook advertising. www.facebook.com/walkingabortions - - - (reluctant to spam my page on here but I feel it's relevant here) The logo you see - an overjoyed close up of a girls face - was the image associated with the ad. People tend to respond more to close ups of people's faces that 'sticks out' from the rest of the page. That's an image my then gf took of herself that I then fiddle with to look a tad brighter. I'd also suggest creating several different ads and noting how people respond to them. I'd also suggest learning some things about your fans and experimenting with different forms of targeting.

Members Kramerguy Posted May 24, 2012 Members Share Posted May 24, 2012 with google advertising, you are more or less paying them to move you up the ladder on search results, and you basically use X amount of that value each time your link is clicked, regardless of origin. It's easy to blow thru $500-$1000 a month with even a small business or band, so that $100 is nothing more than a drop in the well to them in an effort to hook you. Like anything else in capitalist nature, the more $$ you pay up front (different tiers of advertising levels), the higher they put you up the ladder over any similar-search competition. I just learned all of this over the last couple of months, but I find it disturbingly interesting that when anyone does a search, they get not the most relevant results, but the results based on who paid the most.

Members A. Einstein Posted May 24, 2012 Members Share Posted May 24, 2012 I have no idea how google advertising works it works bely bely good for google and soon all are on #1 in the search results, and if you don't pay you are moved to the 25'000'000th page, there where the terrorist usually surf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members A. Einstein Posted May 25, 2012 Members Share Posted May 25, 2012 ...... so, what's the point? one of the points is, if you have a unique name, then you are always on the #1 search result, and the following pages also are only about you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
