Everywhere I go, I get ads for Eve Online. Probably because of browsing history here and on the eve wikis. Things that no one would ever read if they weren't already playing the game.
I've heard from all kinds of players the same thing - seeing EveO adds everywhere. I don't know if I've ever heard my non-Eve playing friends being aware of the game's existence if I haven't mentioned it to them already.
What I am saying is your ad department needs to fit some targeting computers.

Those ads are being targeted to you because of the types of websites you visit, and the profile that the ad distributors have created.
You're getting lots of EVE related internet ads, because they think you might be somebody who would like EVE.
You obviously are, so they're probably doing a good job?

As I understand it, the cookies stored on your computer may be giving up some info that the adtrackers use to pick ads. If you have Eve-O cookies then this may (correctly) lead the adtrackers to believe that you are interested in Eve-O and assume (incorrectly) that you are a potential customer. Ofc, the problem here is that we are already Eve-O customers, and thus, the ad revenues are wasted. Not that it matters, ofc, b/c the advertisers get paid per click. Probably what CCP would want to do is target players of other spaceship mmo's (are there any? lol), as well as mmo's in general (WoW, EQ, etc), and spaceship games in general (X3? Homeworld? Freespace 2? How many of us have played those?)

Can't say that the massive coverage is a horrible thing.
Banner ads aren't free, but they aren't very expensive, either.
I have my own issues with CCP, but definately not thier marketing department \o |

Edited by: David Grogan on 31/03/2010 11:38:54 i can honestly say other than seeing an advert on Space.Com many years ago, i have never seen any ads for eve online while i browse the net or on tv.
i guess u see lots of adverts cos u dont clear your browsing history & cookies often.
firefox + adblocker plugin + no script plugin + world of trust (warns u about dodgy sites) plugin = a reasonably clean installation with malware infections becoming a very rare event. SIG: if my message has spelling errors its cos i fail at typing properly :P |

OP please.
The ad appears on many web sites regardless of your browsing history. The advertising obviously works as more players are playing eve and CCP is continuing the campaign. This is clearly a signature. |
