Solo Ad Advertising

In this article, I will address the common question, “What is a solo ad?”, and I will describe in detail the types of solo ads available and the likely costs involved.

What is a solo ad?

Solo ads fall into the category of “Permission Based Email Marketing”, otherwise known as “double opt-in marketing”. Website owners and affiliate marketers essentially purchase the right to email a group of recipients that have agreed to receive marketing emails from a particular website or marketing service. The single email delivered to this group is called a solo ad. The administrator of this service is responsible for ensuring the clean delivery of this solo ad to the entire list as advertised, and ensuring that it does not fall foul of anti-spam laws.

Types of solo ads and the estimated costs involved.

Solo ads can be purchased from many online sources. Their prices can vary depending on site pricing, the size of the list of recipients, the nature of the nature of the audience, and at times, depending on whether the solo will be delivered to the recipients’ “contact” addresses or their “list” addresses. A list address is a secondary email address set up by recipients to receive the bulk of their marketing mail, and will naturally receive a lesser open rate than a solo ad sent to contact email addresses. Prices of solo ads are significantly lower for marketers who sign up for a program, agreeing to, in turn, receive marketing emails from other members.

Please note that most online marketing resources are priced in US Dollars and that is the currency that we will use to estimate costs in this article. These costs are an estimation and not a guarantee and are based on prices currently available in the year 2012.

Text Ad Exchange Solo Ads – By far the most cost effective method of permission based email marketing, members are required to join the site and agree to receive solo ads in return for the priviledge of sending their own. Solo ads can be purchased on site, or traded for with points earned. When a member clicks on the url link found in a solo ad, they are required to stay on that page for a certain amount of time, usually around 10 or 15 seconds. For doing this, they earn points that go towards their own trade for a solo ad (or other advertising if they prefer). Point allocations vary greatly depending on the Text Ad Exchange.
Solo ad prices vary from $1 to $10.

Viral Mailers – Similar to Text Ad Exchanges in the way that marketers are required to be members of the site that they wish to purchase a solo ad from. What differs here, is that members are also allowed to make use of a credit mailer, one, two or three times per week depending on their level of membership. Members earn credits for clicking through the url links in these credit mails, as well as through the links in solo ads, but solo ads hold a much higher credit value per click through, and therefor receive a significantly higher open rate than credit emails. Not all viral mailers sell solo ads though, so one should check this before signing up.
Solo ad prices vary from $10 to $30.

Network Solo Ads – These are also known as super Solos, Jumbo Solos, Affiliate Network Solos, Mega Solos, or any other name that the service chooses to call them. What happens here, is that any number of sites, usually Text Ad Exchanges and Safelist Mailers, make their email lists (memberships) available for mass rent. One such solo ad will potentially reach thousands of email inboxes, without the purchaser having to be a member of all the sites listed. The effectiveness of such a solo ad depends greatly on the sites involved. If the sites all belong to one owner, or a small group of owners, it is almost a certainty that the solo ad will not be delivered to the number of people as advertised, since through cross promotion, there will be a lot of recipients that will be members of more than, or even all of the sites listed. Your solo ad statistics may show that 500 people clicked through it, when in actually fact the amount of unique visitors to your site is significantly less. One is advised to carefully consider whether investing in such a solo ad is worth while, especially if the cost is high.
Prices vary from $5 to $30

Traffic Exchange Solo Ads – A traffic exchange is a marketing service where members view an unlimited amount of website pages in return for credits that will put their own website page into rotation for viewing by fellow members. Put simply, people exchange page views, both to increase traffic to their website, and in the hopes of converting some of those views to sales or subscriptions. Occassionally one will find a traffic exchange that sells solo ads, and on a rare occassion, one that allows members to trade credits earned for same.
Solo Ad prices vary from $3 to $6

Ezine Solo Ads – These can be quite expensive, though highly effective if one is targeting a niche market. It is best to contact a few ezine sites that have a membership that should be interested in your offer for pricing details, as these will vary from one to another, as will procedures and availability.

To Conclude:

Factors that will effect the results of your solo ads are many. For a start, just the subject line that you use, can greatly increase or reduce the amount of recipients that actually open it. The content could be of a nature that attracts the attention of spam filters, and even the marketing service that you purchase your solo ad from could have a list of mostly “inactive” recipients. You should beware of making expensive solo ad purchases until you has some experience of what works well.

Most services provide tracking for solo ads. This will tell you how many times your site was viewed through the credit link within the solo ad. It is not true that large groups provide better click through rates. It is the service that has respected its members and maintained good “list hygiene”, that will produce the best results. Sometimes smaller groups produce exceptional results.

Guild recruiters cannot be shy. Post in recruiting forums, erect a guild Web site, use in game recruiting tools, such as those in EQ2, these activities all promote your guild and you probably should avail yourself of them. However the fastest, cheapest, easiest most effective way to get new members for your guild is to simply ask in a general chat channel.

Before You Hit the Chat Channels You Need to Know…

…what benefit people will receive by joining your guild and at what cost? Do you provide help with grouping? Do you help people level? Are you a PvP guild? If so what kind of PvP guild? If you provide groups for members is joining guild groups required? If you help people level, is helping other members required? If you are an MMORPG PvP guild, does this mean you don’t do content or that you do organized battlegrounds?

Once you know the major benefit of joining your guild, create your message around that. Know the cost however, because you’ll need new members to understand that if you want to retain themmore about that in my next article for PlayerVox.

To construct your message take the big focus on your major benefit and combine it with one of two possible actions you want the interested party to take:

1. PST for membership info. Contact you immediately in (PST for Please Send Tell is fairly universal).

Be prepared to answer questions and potentially talk to multiple people at the same time. I like to either use a text file to cut and paste common answers, or setup macros when available.

2. URL. Save yourself a lot of typing by sending people to a special recruiting page setup in advance. Lazy people won’t take the time to go look however, so if you are zerg recruiting, don’t use this method. Using a Web page is ideal if there is a lot of information for potential members to consider.

* Present your guild as active and up-to-date. Do NOT send potentials to your inactive guild forums or glommed together site for info. Instead create a special page just for potential new recruits.

* Get the easiest URL possible. Example: “s1.guildcafe.com” is the domain name I use for the Section One guild.

* Always use the http:// so that people understand it is a web site you want them to look at.

Recruiting Message Samples

Helper PvE guild:

Learn the ropes and level fast with XYZ guild. PST for membership info.

Guild with funny people:

Laugh your way to level 50 with XYZ guild. Casual players welcome. PST for membership info.

Guild with serious PvErs:

XYZ guild seeks pro-PvE members. Do dungeons right with us. Ventrilo required. PST for membership info.

Player-killing guild:

Join for the Rep. Stay for the people who’d rather fight than switch. RPK all the way. PST for membership info.

Advertise, but don’t spam

Some old fashioned net-etiquette should be employed while advertising in chat channels:

* Use appropriate channels. Find out what channels are acceptable for guild recruiting. It’s different in every game. For instance, in Guild Wars, one uses the all channel. In some MMORPGs the regional chat channels are acceptable. Some games have special recruiting channels.

* Keep it short and sweet. Don’t attempt to explain every membership detail in your message. Things scroll away fast and people don’t have time to deal with long textheck, they don’t even read quest descriptions most of the time! More on this later.

* Don’t spam. The reason you repeat your message is to give busy people another chance to read it as well present yourself to new people who haven’t seen it. It is not to bore and aggravate people with your endless droning of e-garbage.

o How often you repeat your message is game dependent. In games like WoW, EQ2 and Vanguard, the number of new people coming into and going out of a channel is small, so repeat sparingly. Observe how frequently others repeat and repeat less than they do. If you get complaints, reduce your frequency even more. Being perceived as spam will get you on people’s ignore-list.

o In Guild Wars where people hop in and out of districts constantly, your best bet is to move around from place to place, repeat your message once per district then move on, repeating your cycle every five minutes or so.

* Change it up. Vary your message from time to time, test new messages, be clever, entertain. Boring messages equates to a boring guild.

Advertise eloquently…

…or at least avoid looking stupid:

* DON’T USE ALL CAPS.

* Do not load up your message with **l337** symbols and other #$%^& crap. Your potential recruits don’t have time or desire to decipher, so just use plain English.

* Stay away from over-used terms so ubiquitous that they are now meaningless. Ever seen anyone advertising for unfriendly, immature and inactive members? Almost all guilds are friendly, mature and active, so don’t use up precious space talking about it.

* Use goood speeling. You may not care about every day chat spelling and grammar, but nothing makes you look more like a stupid n00b than spamming the same error over and over. Check it first then store it in a macro or text file.

People want to join guilds that are active. They like to be able to login and find things are happening. One of the best things to do recruiting-wise is put together PUGs, then pitch guild membership to the better players.

You can take this idea a step further by organizing server events and advertising them in spam. Depending on how much creativity the game supports you can do a lot. Character weddings, PvP king of the hill events, PvP tournaments, PvE and PvP raids, crafting fairs, scavenger hunts, races and costume contests are all popular.

Worst Guild Recruiting Spam Ever

XYZ GUILD RECUTING friendly active players. All levels, races, classses and ages. Mature PvE and PvP. Have hall and cape. –

This is a pretty typical zerg guild spamhard to read, packed full of errors and easy to ignore. It attempts to attract people by sounding friendly, but undermines itself by trying to be all things to all peoplewhich equates to nothing for nobody. If you want to offer zillions of players a temporary spot in your revolving door clan, use this ad. (The have hall and cape is a Guild Wars thing. Since every guild has those, it amazes me that people even mention it. If they advertised a guild hall with all perks or silver cape that would be different.)

XYZ guild looking for members. 50 gold paid on joining.

Why not just say, attention leeches, come get 50gp then leave me for another guild If you are this desperate for members, consider calling it quits and joining an established guild.

UberAwesome guild looking for members. Raiding right now, come get your endgame loot!

This ad isn’t much better than the previous one. It’s just another opportunity for people to leech off your generosity. Inviting people to join your raids is a good way to impress people, but it’s best to keep those opportunities and your recruiting separate.

Conclusion

Don’t be shy! Speak up and use chat to let people know that you’re out there. Be wise with your messages, don’t abuse it, and you’ll be rewarded with plenty of interest.
