to me the effectiveness is acceptable but not inspiring....it brought many new comers...
although I have set the ad link to https://bitshares.org/wallet/?r=bitcrab&source=8btc#/, I am not skilled enough to trace how much clicks are brought by the ad, and my referral numbers has no obvious increasing.the pic of the ad has been changed several times and the last version is as shown below, we put a QQ group number inside:before the ad, I remember there are about 1400 members in the QQ group, now the number is 1764.many of the new members come because of the ad, surely not all, recently the price surge of almost all the altcoins brought many new players.I do not have exact metric to measure the effectiveness of the ad, simply speaking, it brought many new comers but do not brought a very high increasing of user numbers. to me the effectiveness is acceptable but not inspiring.
@bitcrab, can you please summarize what you found out from this advertising campaign?Do you consider it a successful effort?Did you track new accounts or increased trades you can definitively tie to the ad?What metrics did you use to measure how effective your proposal was?
@Yao Looks super nice! Would you translate what is written on red "buttons"? I'm just curious.
Quote from: mf-tzo on February 15, 2017, 07:15:13 pm@Yao excellent man! I knew that this was a good ides despite what my friend @fav thinks.. Make sure that you explain them that they can also short bitassets such as bitbtc.. so "hundreds" joined wechat, but did they convert to bitshares customers? account creations should skyrocket, right? Since that's the only metric we can use in this case, spoiler: account creations do no skyrocket.

Quote from: tbone on February 14, 2017, 02:43:15 pmI think we SERIOUSLY need a better way to deal with API server issues. If a new user/visitor is browsing the wallet and then is suddenly presented with an API server settings screen, that is embarrassing, damaging and it's an unacceptable user experience. How about having the wallet automatically switch to a different API server if it detects high latency? That should be the default setting, but users should also have the option to lock in on 1 or more API servers of their choice.Same ideas as the Electrum BTC wallet. Makes sense to use latency or other criteria to switch automatically, but not sure is OpenLedger and BlockTrades etc would like that.

20170215:中国政府对比特币交易平台提出了履行反洗钱和 KYC 政策的要求,中国的大多数交易平台都暂停了提现 BTC 的业务,这是一个让 RMB 交易者进入 BitShares DEX 买卖 BTC 的难得机遇,我制作了一个简单的交易流程介绍图,希望能为 OPEN.BTC : bitCNY 市场带来新用户。The Chinese government requires BTC trading platform to perform anti-money laundering and KYC policy, most of China's trading platform, suspended withdrawal BTC business, this is a rare opportunity for RMB traders get into BitShares DEX buying and selling BTC , I made a simple transaction process diagram, hopes to brings some new user for OPEN.BTC: bitCNY market.

low feescould not be closedcould not be hacked
I don't think it exact to say low to no fees, as assets like OPEN.BTC, OPEN.ETH also charge 0.2% market fees.
I don't recognize mandarin but could you put something similar this lines..This exchange has low to no fees Bitshare DEX ....and cant be closed.....................................like this the message would be more powerful
I am NOT in favor of spending money on banner ads that I have trained my eyes to ignore. Even the modal ads that popup in my face and dim out the rest of the screen... my eyes immediately seek to the corner looking for the X to close it. @bitcrab - have you considered paid placement instead? where the "ad" is mixed in with a very interesting, educational article by a Writer that people follow? "in your face" ads are very annoying imo, and if you want to advertise, make it educational to entice interest, and hence clicks. you will get a much better roi. people yearn for these little tidbits of knowledge. @tbone - I really like your proposed default / DEX "Homepage". this dex homepage should be live before @bitcrab posts that ad and links it to the web wallet though. on a side note, I think it would be great to have a reactjs "ticker tape" right underneath of the main menu. spice it up a bit. i bet @svk could do that in two shakes of a lamb's tail if we ask him real nice-like......

Come on now... just because someone offers half of something does not mean it's actually worth a dime.@tbone that's an awesome idea! brings us closer to a real landing page!Well I think it is worth much more than a dime.

hi @tbone your advice is great, I will provide the Chinese text soon.I have even one more idea, when the new user click the page, can the server get the info of the users' area and change the language setting accordingly and automatically? if yes it will help many new users from China a lot. @svk
Quote from: xeroc on February 11, 2017, 05:40:32 pmGive it a try!Do you run your own faucet? If not, you should set one up to capture the fresh users' referral fee.I can help you set one up.I just found that if a new user create an account at the official web wallet https://bitshares.org/wallet/#/, both the register and the referrer are openledger.I do not run my own faucet now, so if I set up one, it's possible to let the new user select faucet, in other words referrer, while creating new account at the official web wallet?and what is needed to run a faucet? a LTM account with enough BTS and also a server?

I am in favor of giving this a try. But I agree with @fav that the results should be measured (both by click throughs from the ad, and by new accounts created under a specific referrer). Also very important, both in general and to maximize the success of this effort (and the efficiency of the funds spent), the wallet needs a suitable page for new visitors to land on. The current default page is the account creation page (see 1st image below), which I've been saying is a very unsuitable page for new visitors to land. Perhaps this is why you are proposing to have people land on the dashboard page. But this page is also not suitable since it has no information (see 2nd image below). Because I believe it is imperative to have a suitable landing page for new visitors (for this ad campaign AND in general), I took the time to create one (see 3rd image below). I proposed it last week to @Chris420, who liked the idea and encouraged me to ask @svk to incorporate it into the wallet site. I discussed it with @svk and understand it's currently in progress. @bitcrab, I hope you will write some similar text in Chinese, or translate the text I wrote so there's a proper landing page in place before spending money on an ad.Proposed default / DEX "Homepage":
