Good luck pulling them away from World of Warcraft.

BB should advertise on fantasy sports websites or something like that. It seems to me that that would be a good place to begin.
I tried to get my officemates and several friends onto BB, but HT has them busy enough they don't want to add another to the list.

BB is getting a lot of people from HT -- hence the countries with large HT population are gaining a lot of users right now.

How about ads on CBS Sportsline, ESPN.com, TNT.com?

Classified ads on (http://www.fark.com) are really inexpensive for what I presume is your budget.

NO ONE at this table ordered a rum & Coke
Charles: Penn has some good people
A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

By the way, does everyone here realize that BB-Charles is running for USNT coach on HT? He's CSteinhardt over there. You might think about showing him some support.

I wouldn't vote for him in HT, that means he'd have less time to do work over here! ;)

Ha, you may be right! This game has so much more potential than HT, and he's going to be pretty busy working with it.

But, if a guy's smart enough to design this one, I think he's probably got a good bead on the HT match engine, as well. I figure he deserves a shot.

Let me ask: What do you think we could do to help grow the US userbase? I'd love to see the US become the biggest nation in BB, but that means we need to find places other than Hattrick to advertise.


I'm hardly a marketing expert, but my wife has a therapy/counseling practice and I created a website for her. We do the usual pay-per-click advertising on Yahoo! and Google (averages about $0.70 per click which is probably more than BB can spend on acquiring users).

However, she gets about 1/3 of her website traffic from posting on Craig's List (completely free, just takes 5-10 minutes everyday). Was wondering if we had a campaign of people positing under the gaming discussion boards http://sandiego.craigslist.org/forums/?forumID=85 or maybe elsewhere -- if that would be effective.

Maybe if BuzzerBeater would provide some posting templates, some of the US users would be willing to post them on Craig's List. Not sure if BB uses Google-Analytics, but maybe you could feedback the number of clicks we're getting from Craig's List to see if it effective.
