[QUOTE="Great Mastiff Games, post: 1883762, member: 25783"] \ Well, for three reasons. 1. I've already had the experience with Dragon. Prior to that, I had not had experience with this market. 2. I had the same projections -- I imagined that out of 60,000 pairs of eyes passing over my ads, I might get 3% to 4% to fork out a few pennies. That's 1,800 to 2,400 sales. 1% would be 600 sales.

Heck, I didn't think that 180,000 viewings of my ads would result in ZERO HITS on my website. Nobody was even curious. Quite the opposite of myself, since I go to every website listed in the magazine ... who would have thought I was the only one out of 60,000 gamers who was curious? ;) :confused: I thought that I'd get several thousand hits, even if I only got a couple hundred sales. 3. I had to try SOMETHING. Well, I love the game too, but unfortunately I can't afford to put time and money into something that doesn't pay even a pittance to the designer.
