jwenting Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 would get very quiet if a lot of people start running around wearing adfarms. Which is what you're suggesting, a way to get around the ban on adfarms by having avatars pop in on regions wearing tons of advertising as clothing and attachments. Which will lead to a flood of ARs and simowners en masse deciding to ban all such activity. And rightly so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MizzFuzzyMoran Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 ill start this off by saying that it wood be easy to advertise to furries who go to things like VancouFur or who buy stuff on sites that sell cosplay items andwho post on yiff forums (spellchecked) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drake1 Nightfire Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I think they mean to wear SL t-shirts in RL... like "I have a SecondLife, do you?" plastered on your RL shirt.. If LL is wiling to make them and send them to us users.. I would wear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marigold Devin Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 We could all be wearing "I love my Second Life" tee shirts in real life, and giving out key rings and pendants and mugs and all the gubbins, but while it is so hard for a lot of people to get through the initial learning curve - it not being a plug and play game - it will all be for nothing. As it is, Second Life adverts appear when I browse other websites on the internet, so these ads must be hitting other internet users. Its up to Linden Lab to make their web-based ads more punchy perhaps, as they are a bit blah currently (the vampire-themed campaign they did a few months back possibly was their most successful to date).

Errsatz Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 With the prolifration of interventions like this and their more widespread use by individuals to circumvent intrusion and harvesting, what hope does any web based marketing strategy really have?

I dunno. Most people don't know how to fix their privacy settings in Facebook. The idea that a large number of mostly digitally-illiterate web surfers is going to start using things like this strikes me as implausible. After all, we already have free programmes such as Ad Blocker, but, as popular as it is in relative terms, it certainly has not destroyed advertising revenues on the web.

Errsatz Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 And no, I don't see ads for SL all over the web. I am already a user therefore I don't get those. I get ads for places closely related to SL, IMVU for instance, or ads for places that have items that I have recently searched on Amazon or any other retail outlet that carry those items.

If you want your group advertised on the web, buy some ads. i am not talking about specific named groups inside sl that you join i am talking about specific identifiable and targetable interest groups - in the real world - like furries goreans dressmakers cobblers bdsmers kids or people that want to be robots not just people that want to wear bikinis all the year round even though they live in alaska Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spend my leisure time in a range of forums astroturfing on behalf of various charitable causes extremely sucessfully- although over the last few years lls own attempts to use the technique have been risibly transparent, or maybe thats what ebbe meant anyway ll is targeting those who are not smart enough even to use adblocker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrish Ashbourne Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I've started going to steampunk conventions in RL to help promote my SL business in RL right now I'm just giving out business cards to people I meet , but I'm looking at doing some panels on SL to help grow the steampunk community in SL. On the marketplace, if your images are listed right they end up on google image searches, which can be an other way people from out side SL might discover SL. From time to time I see adds for SL all over the web. My guess those are adds target at me, as I do lots of web searches for SL issues. So in a way those are wasted advertisements because I'm getting targeted because I'm all ready an SL user. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canoro Philipp Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 advertising to interests groups all over the web that may have a connection with what happens in SL could be a strategy that works. like people that like to build, to script, to be DJs in a virtual environment, they already got the love for it and can find it in SL, a percentage of them may come to SL to explore the possibilities, if they find it better than the tools they are used to have to fulfill that passion, they may use it as a secondary channel for their creativty, and with time, they may find other things in SL that they like, and SL can become their primary resource. SL is so flexible and variable, that probably they will come for one resource, and stay for the other passions they may have. i agree that your idea has potential.
