'K, I've gotten enough donations to start an ad campaign for my shitty little game. Anybody know where I could get the most impressions for as little cost as possible? Should target the internet gaming/nerd/alcoholic crowd.
I've heard FARK's a good place, but I'd like some other opinions.

Generate a press-release with a couple screen grabs.
Send them to wired, salon, etc, asking for a review. Look for sites that need new content related to your game.
Ask a beer company if they would host/mirror it in return for a cut and product placement. Sell the game to Budwieser... I've been to a cigarette site that had a smoking game on it!
Shit, post it here too, dude!
I think there are 100 regular members who visit.
Know those idiots who spam Detnet sometimes?
They get deleted. If they just wrote me first I'd probably let them post their link and then see how many views the thread got.
Write to the forum Admin instead and ask them if they'd like to do a review and maybe trade links.
I do that a lot. There should be over 30 sites linked to my commercial one.
Googling sites that link to kevinbreak.com

Meet the banner ad I hope to use. It's sad and underdone, but I'm not an artist.

Uber, stop beating yourself up.
Let Detnet do that.
Speaking as one with a little graphic experience, just make every line a different color.
Leave it at that, it's very succinct already!

Suggestions on the banner: too many frame changes. Try having the initial tag lines appear sequentially in the different corners, so you can see all of them at once; then clear and change to "And it's all on the house," and finish up with the Barkeeper logo.

He says turn the other cheek, but that seems kind of weak

All good ideas. I'm going to send out messages to beer.com and associated sites when I'm ready. But still, the names of websites to advertise on would help.
And kbreak -- I'm not trying to put myself down. I've come to terms with the fact that I really *do* suck at artistic stuff, so I've said the hell with it as much as I can. Unfortunately, no one else I know is any good at graphics, so I have to do it anyway...

Aww, shit, it was a joke.
If you know what you're not good at, you must find someone who can do it for you.
That's why I can post 200 times a day and yet I pay an accountant to do my bills.
I'm not good at bills, so I found her.
Yah, now she tells me to get more money but that's not her issue, it's my lack of new work.
Do what you're good at and get someone to fill in the blanks.

God knows it's hard to find them, though. They're all getting paid by people. *scoff*

You're giving up too fast.
You are a small-business owner.
So am I.

Um, Uber?
I clicked your link.
I have to register just to see what's inside.
I need something on the front page to make
me *want to register.
Did I miss something? A splash page?
