Marketing Campaign Completed - Big Success - Tips For Drawing In A Crowd On The Cheap And Some Overall Statistics

CoinMarketCap and DashPayMagazine marketing campaigns have completed and i am really happy with the results

For the last 30 days i have had a marketing campaign running on DashPayMagazine and for 14 days of that time i have also had a campaign active on CoinMarketCap.

From this experience i have found that some people actually click adverts! What.. yeah it's true :) from the 30 day campaign i had a whopping 1389 click through on banner based advertising. i couldn't believe the success!

Majority of the clicks originated from CoinMarketCap and rightly so this advertising space was a lot more expensive.
DashPayMagazine contributed ~8% of the clicks for 4% of the price! - This is to say that it was much better value in terms of clicks per dollar but the massive traffic hitting CoinMarketCap left if with low numbers comparatively.

It is my pleasure to share with you a few stats with a few interesting details

Below is some statistic from my link tracking portal with Bitly.

Statistics - Click rates

Clicks	Value
Total Clicks	1389
Clicks Per Week (Avg)	347
Clicks Per Day (Avg)	49
Most Clicks Per Day	185
Cost per click	$0.77 USD

Statistics - Geographic

Countries	Value
Counties reached	100
Percentage: United State	20.9%

Referral Stats the most important gauge of success

Between the 1389 eyeballs that the campaign attracted to Steemit - 99 visitors signed up for an account! This give a click to user rate of 7.1% with a cost of $10.90 USD per new users on this campaign. I will admit i didn't really know what to expect when i got into this but when i found out i was 1 user away from 100 i was kind of upset; not actually upset, just like Damn! so close :) but i am really impressed with the outcome and being the 4th most successful recruiter in regards to the referral stats.

Conclusion

I am happy with the campaign and how it turned out and i have learnt that there is good value for money in smaller players such as DashPayMagazine and other similar sites; i think 1 month campaign was a good period of time and that if we spread the advertising around to the smaller player we will be able to have advertising running for longer at a large range of websites, driving a low price per click in comparison to the larger players.

If you are interested in doing you own referrals you can do so by directing traffic to https://steemit.com/?r=YOURUSERNAMEHERE and if you would like to track your click rates i suggest Bitly.com.
