Black This Out, Want $6,000,000? We Need THE ENTIRE MONTH for Promotion & 25,000 Attendees

Then why don't have have a widget for it on the site? :/

This does make sense. If the end of the quarter push is so important then why are these websites not promoting it with their own banners? Maybe they're just dropping the ball and assuming everybody knows about it?
 
Why wait? The purpose of this is to build momentum early. That's why all the money bombs this year have been small.

We are :) I think he wants to wait for the EoQ Push to be over. That'll still be 19 days for us! Much more than other moneybombs. We need to push it as hard as we can on our end, and with that you'll see a MASSIVE surge in those two last weeks when all the major sites get their act together.

I hope you're right.

But anyway, Dusman said he was working on some things to show us tonight. I wonder what they are. Did he happen to mention when he thinks the new version of the website will be up and running?

I have a lot of things coming out today.. so stay tuned! :)

I already sent a message to Michael at the Daily Paul, but have also heard nothing. This is starting to get discouraging. It would be nice if I at least got a reply back. What is Trevor's email address?

I thought I read somewhere Trevor wouldnt be involved in the money bombs anymore?
 
I need to get in on the flyer designs and stuff for this. I was on vacation this weekend. So much time lost for promoting liberty! :(

Glad to have you back around Justin. I've matched up the web site with your branding so now we'll finally be able to unify the brand for this.
 
Ok, first stage of theme migration complete. Time to add the popup and all these widget codes.

Awesome stuff! :)

While I mentioned my concern re the title on the FB group, it still does look great! My only suggestion would be made the 'Pledge to Donate' button the red colour you have when you hover over it, stands out so much more! Otherwise, fantastic. :D
 
Updated Facebook ad stats for today.

Budget was upped too much accidentally today, I meant to type in $12 but got $52 somehow and ended up spending $38 before I caught it! Resulted in 127 clicks, so about $0.30 per click.

Date - Clicks - Ad Views
Sep 19 - 3 - 17,229 (first ad)
Sep 20 - 7 - 6,606 (second ad launched)
Sep 21 - 39 - 29,273 (third ad launched, most effective so far)
Sep 22 - 139 - 53,566 (budget temporarily increased for debate night)
Sep 23 - 77 - 14,645 (third ad launched, using graphics from first page of this thread)
Sep 24 - 76 - 20,068
Sep 25 - 160 - 51,379 (Budget was upped too much accidentally)

EDIT: It didn't give me the proper totals before, updated todays from 127 clicks to 160.

Man it'd be great if I could see the conversions on this :/

Dusman, I'm just suggesting this change, but it's up to you. When I visited the website, I could not immediately find the pledge counter. I saw the one at the bottom on the pledge form, but completely missed this one...

"1124 Americans Against Media Censorship"

Would it be possible to move it to a more visible location and maybe make the numbers darker red? They seem pink to me. I thought maybe above the "ATTENTION: MAINSTEAM MEDIA" bit would be a good spot, however I don't want to screw up your design and make it look cluttered.

I'm loving the websites message and style. Bravo to all involved! I'll be facebooking, commenting, etc...to spread the word.

Another suggestion. At the top right, change...

"Attend this Moneybomb on Facebook" to

"X Attending this Moneybomb on Facebook"

Where X is, put the number of Facebook attendees. I understand this is complicated to do, so why not just manually change the number a couple times a day whenever you happen to be online? I really don't think anybody is going to care that it doesn't update automatically. The large number of Facebook attendees will give off a better impression for this money bomb and people will become more excited about it, encouraging them to promote it. Wouldn't this be a simple change to make?

I'll add to this suggestion. Maybe make the text a little bit bigger and bold. Maybe even make it red. Just to make it more noticeable.

I do agree that we should put the # of facebook attendees on there.
