update on www.benjaminsforpaul.com January 17th

[european]

Hi everyone,

Wanted to give you an update on Benjamins for Paul. http://www.benjaminsforpaul.com/

Both counters are now added at the botom (visits + pledges).
The pledges have been:
51 after 24 hours
112 after 48 hours
181 after 72 hours (moment of posting this)
Both counters are updated realtime.

A new awesome video has been added called "Do You Hear The People Sing: Ron Paul". (located at http://www.benjaminsforpaul.com/ and then scroll down)

Also after a request for a paralel flash indexpage, this one is availabe now aswell: http://www.benjaminsforpaul.com/flash_index.php

Thanks for all who have given input!!! Because of you we got rid of some typo's, changed the content a lot, and made the site look a lot better. Also there are banners available at: http://www.benjaminsforpaul.com/files/

Also a call from Germany on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLOQz0dGu2g

Also a huge meetup mailing-effort has been launched. If you want you can volunteer for this. We want to reach as many as possible people. Sofar 90% of the meetuporganizers that have read and responded to the emailingeffort, have responded positively and said they will spread the message in their own meetupgroups.

Also, adwords credit has been bought, for making advertisement for the website www.benjaminsforpaul.com and in theory every USA-citizen should get the advertisement right in his/her face when googling "ron paul" but for some reason this doesn't work yet. Is there any adword-wizzard out there who can help out?

More to follow... :D

Just my 2 cents..

Visits and Pledges need to be near the top ;)

Other than that, looks great man. Glad to see that you are using only one URL now. :)

European,

Can you place the total number of pledges in a better area? We need people to be able to see the total without having to scroll all the way to the bottom. Can you put it above the large 100 dollar bill for example?

Can you contact the person who does Ron Paul Graphs and get a GRAPH of the pledges on the site?

We need to do everything we can to copy everything that has made previous money bombs successful.

Additionally, for the non-flash site can you put something on the borders instead of just blackness?

Also, I have a wide screen monitor and when I look at the flash site the lightning is NOT beside the center column. It's all the way on the edge of the screen.

I think it's getting better, but MAN! These graphics are heavy as hell!!!
I just waited till the top one loads and it's over 160KB! That's more than the whole page should weigh :)

OPTIMIZE THE GRAPHICS (that is, COMPRESS MORE) and I'll get back to see the rest.
They don't have to be in HD quality.

PS- Green text on green background...on dark green/black whatever? is a real turn off.

Not very visually stimulating... but easily fixed....good luck ;)

+2

I know I mentioned it before, about what is depicted in the monitor. I don't like the idea of using a "Rudy" in the image. I know it's just a small thing and barely noticeable, but I think fixing it to just a straight line would be better IMO.

Looks good.

You can add more "pzas" with some nice graphics. I am sure some Photoshoppers out there would blow some people away.

I would use white background also.

Make sure your server allows for mass email to be sent

I wouldn't add the adsence . I think it might turn some people off, That's just me, but the other 2 money bombs were completely not for profit deals.

You can use a graphic as the actual donate link.

Get some more American Flags in there also.

Adwords is the advertising that appears on other websites. ;)

People forget to set the background color, because there are images set as the background. But if they load for quite some time (like in my case) or are disabled (like usually in my case), you see crap. That was the case with the previous moneybomb sites too. Could be fixed in 5sec, I don't know why they never do it :)
