Wasting 4 mil on silly ads.

Submitted by angel_shortcake on Sun, 12/04/2009 - 8:28pm
Does it bug anyone else that people will spend 4 mil nps on a pointless 4 mil ad? There's someone there that posted 5 in a row saying each word of "I have too many Neopoints" as a different ad. That is valuable space! And I really hope that it someone's real ad doesn't end up under them on peak day, though they shouldn't if they posted at midnight NST. But still... GRR! I seriously waste about 5 valuable seconds a day reading that :P

Hahaha I saw that too. I would be mad if I was below his posts and I lost profits, but it is his neopoints I guess.

[quote=bugsybogis]Just think how many people view his user lookup. LOL If he put a counter on his userlookup, he probably became #1 in the top shops by a mile LOL[/quote] Yeah he got his 15mins of fame *lol* Now it's back to real business. I do feel badly for those that get less revenue because of getting cut though.

That sounds like someone got into his account and cleaned him out! Oh I hope not, poor him for sure! How much do those ads help anyway? I think it's crazy to spend 333,333,333 (largest I've seen) to go in on a 4mil ad...but I've never done it. What kind of traffic do you see from them? ~ Mimi _____________________________________________________ Mimi's Ménagerie: Healthy Tastes Good Here! http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=temps_bons

As for 4m nb ads, it really increases traffic&sales.

It doesn't really make me mad, per say, since the ads won't hit top. It is a little annoying though.

It makes a huge difference in traffic

[quote=Nicann4]It makes a huge difference in traffic[/quote] But usually people will probably skip over those ads. I actually use frozen shops to my advantage (by upgrading below them) - it's like you're on top, even though you're not.

I know, That is right below my ad. Thankfully it will be gone tomorrow!

I believe it was posted after mine on Thursday. I know they wouldn;t be able to get 5 ads in before the next real 4 million ad went up at midnight.
