High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.
Agree..and 25€ per week, is a crazy price (for me).
Nope not worth[DOUBLEPOST=1478005786][/DOUBLEPOST]At most you would get more people that want staff than players
Ok, Ill provide a real answer. (Kind of a review?)
I purchased an ad slot for 1 month (getting the discount) to see what the ad could do. I have purchased slots previously and since then the site has grown and the new ad system implemented, so I wanted to give it a try!
I paid 80 Euros + VAT and here are the results:
My ad was displayed with an average of 3 other adverts by it, least being 2 for a few days and most bring 5 when MCM was sold out.
There where no large holidays in any locations to my knowledge during the time of this advert.
466k views on a forum is not exactly amazing, but its not displayed on every page, just the homepage. Its a considerable exposure.
If you want to go just by math, I paid ~0.13 a click. Thats not bad value for targeted traffic which this forum is, minecraft server owners looking to grow there servers.
I also have giveaway threads open on this site in multiple sections to attract visitors also, this may have helped.
Overall Conclusion:
For me personally, I though this ad was worth the purchase. I am going though my own financial issues right now or I would most certainly be purchaing a slot again. Is this worth it for a server owner to attract players? I would say 'no'. Server hosting, lists, panels. These are the types of adverts I would recommend purchasing for MCM.
I don't think I got my money back, but advertising is also about brand advertising, getting your name out. The amount of users that may not have clicked but saw my URL and got my name out is worth the cost in my opinion.
I hope to do business with MCM in the future. Ajdin if I can't show the numbers let me know and I can remove the image.
