What is the ad you are using?

We should all open a new google adword account, google offers a free $75-100 coupon for new accounts...

Should get rid of the "money counter" from the site ? I say yes cause MOST of the people won´t pledge there, so it´s becoming more like a momentum killer than psotivie thing...

Don't get rid of it -- just figure out a way to add in the Facebook pledge amounts and pledge numbers.

You could just update the Facebook pledges number manually a few times a day? Just create an admin with a form you can easily update.

The last money bomb averaged $60 per person, so $60 * 2700 (current number on FB) = $162,000

But we've removed the pledge amount from the pledge form so I guess doesn't matter.

You could still manually have the number of Facebook attendees on the page :) Doesn't matter if the number isn't instant/few hours old.
 
I just have one final request for the website, we have to have the amount of facebook pledges visible.

People need to see that we over 3000 pledges total not 800 what the first impression is if you visit the site!

Thanks dusman for your work!

:)

Youtube, here i come! :)

Yes, direct from my reports page on Facebook for the ads I'm running.

EDIT: Weird, I must have clicked 'reply with quote' between when when you first posted and when you edited ;)

One thing is that the 25,000 person goal is a little low. AT $60 bucks per pledge equaling $162,000 dollars at 2700 pledges, 10x that amount (27,000) would only be $1,620,000. we need 5x that amount, or 135,000 pledges.

You gotta optimize your ads more. You need better targeting so that you can get a better click through rate. If you can get a better click through rate facebook will charge you less per click.

The Constitution day money bomb had 1,826 attending and we got 1 million. We already have 2,715 attending for this one.

It's fairly hard to do this. Facebook is good at making it as hard for people to do this as possible. The only solution I've had in lately was a Firefox plugin that automated the login process (obviously for a different end goal than what you want though).

I have extensive experience with the Facebook API, I've built many applications using it. fcreature + dusman, If you need help, let me know

jordie, if you don't mind PM me or send a join request on Facebook for the Web Developers for Ron Paul page.
 
I just tried contacting Michael Nystrom over at the Daily Paul about putting up the pledge banner. Here is my message...

Hi Michael, I'm the one who created the large 60+ page planning thread over at RonPaulForums for the October 19th Black This Out Money Bomb. Here is the thread...

http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showth...TIRE-MONTH-for-Promotion-amp-25-000-Attendees

The fact is that this new money bomb is gaining traction and FAST. As of this writing we have 2,700 people attending the Facebook event and over 800 pledges on the main website for the money bomb. It was below 1,000 only four days ago. I made it a point in my thread to make it known that these past money bombs were weaker because we did not do the necessary promotion, as well as the fact that we started promotion way too late. We still have over three weeks to advertise this and every day the amount of pledges are multiplying.

We need more exposure though to really set this thing off. I've been working with Dusman, the creator of the website www.BlackThisOut.com to make it better. The site is being redesigned as we speak and will have new features. We're even trying to get Tom Woods to make some articles and videos for us to help counter media bias, which is the theme of the money bomb. These will be shared around the internet in order to draw in website hits and more pledges to the money bomb. Here is a concept image of the updated website...

http://www.blackthisout.com/blackthisout-layout-v4.jpg

One thing that Dusman created is a pledge banner. People all around the internet can pledge to the money bomb through this banner and it's a very effective way of promoting it. These serious attempts at gaining exposure for a money bomb have been missing since the two big ones in 2007. People are really getting excited for this. Our goal is to raise $6,000,000. With the amount of activity surrounding this event this early on, we have a real chance at achieving this goal for Ron Paul. That's why I wanted to ask you if you'd be willing to help us all out and get this pledge banner into plane view, perhaps at the top of the Daily Paul. I've spoken to the administrator over at RonPaulForums, Bryan and he will be putting up the banner at the top of his website soon. It would really help us start to gain even more momentum going into the 19th if you were to put this pledge banner up also.

I've been told that there are some concerns about the Black This Out Money Bomb distracting from the campaign's 3rd quarter push, but from the large amount of activity I see surrounding this event so far, it seems as though many people are going to promote this thing regardless. So in case that was one of your concerns about putting this banner up right now, I'm not sure waiting to put it up until Oct 1st will do any good. More and more people are finding out about it everyday. I figure it would be best for this money bomb and the overall donation total if we had as long as a promotional period as possible, and that would mean sticking it up as early as possible in order to help it gain some significant momentum. The code to the banner is linked in the thread below. I hope you see the importance of getting this thing up early. If you have any questions for me then just ask. Thanks for any help!

Pledge Banner Code is in this thread...

It also looks like we just passed our attendance total for yesterday. So it took two extra hours, lol.

There is not as strong a correlation between the two as you might think.

The Ready Ames Fire had 4,000 attending and we ended up getting $600,000
 
I made this suggestion before, but will make it again because I think it might attract more pledges.

Instead of showing the pledge number numerical, it would be better to have it shown graphically (at least in the beginning when the pledge count is relatively low).

For example,

Pledge count: 1400

versus

Pledge count:

instead of dots, it could be a human sillouhette or a megaphone etc.

Even cooler, when the pledge is made, their dot (sillouhette/megaphone/ect.) can materialize on the screen to join the rest of the images.
