My Experiments with Sponsored and User Ads

Thanks alot for your honesty and taking your time to test! I really appreciated it. I have a few ideas to solve your case, And the game is still new and improving.

I’m also experimenting with a 2nd option than sponsering, influencers as a means to expand. however its difficult finding a way to contact them and then they actually respond. And most charge a fee to make video. But im still in progress to see if its more successful than sponsering.

My man, I don’t like sharing competative advantages, but you deserve it more than anyone… you have to try target consoles only with your sponsored ads, I’m currently getting visits at 0.5 robux and I have terrible ctr, just a crazy amount of impressions for cheap.

I don’t know how long this is going to last, but take advantage of this while you can, you got great monetesation judjing by your stats, you can get into profit and scale up your ads if all goes okay. It really looks like an amazing game, and you have pretty good monetization stats, with these cheap ads you probably can make to front page. If you don’t have a console, buy a cheap pc controller on the internet for testing, that’s what I did :))

Btw, I’m not a tycoon player so take with a grain of salt, but the very start is a bit confusing, I didn’t understand that the cash machine is not for making cash, its for withdrawing cash you make with blocks? it wasn’t obvious at all to me, but I did figure it out pretty quickly, could be smoother though, first impressions and all
edit: I just got a 5k paycheck after I was afk typing this lol, that’s too much, ruins progression for a bit I think
edit 2: I don’t know what the parking lot does? in a tycoon probably nothing should just for decoration, but I am nit picking, this game is better than 90% of tycoons out here, its really good
edit 3: I got 15k and I don’t see anything I can buy for it? hm that’s a bummer, yeah there’s literally nothing to upgrade or buy… oh well

your statements doesn’t make any sense, if you want to make urself happy with “fake” visits, then go ahead
console users can’t chat, they barely buy game passes, and mostly your game will be harder to find on pc if u only sponsor on consoles, because roblox will more likely to show in on consoles, and will less show it through roblox search system

Fake visits? A visit is a visit… although I didn’t know about them not using chat and not buying passes?
But I can’t agree with the last part, why would roblox show your game less in search if you advertise to any given platform? I don’t think roblox looks at the volume of players from any platform when deciding what platfom to organically promote your game to. It looks at your engament stats and so on, not volume, so you should be able to advertise to whom ever without affecting the algorythm. Also, its not like the algorythm is working well for you now anyway

If you have it, could you share some kind of statistic on console users not buying gamepasses as much? If you have some kind of solid info on this I’ll have to rethink my strategy maybe

Personally, I don’t mind console users not buying passes as long as they stay with the game enough to raise the engagement metrics. Eventually it should boost the game rankings in search* and attract users from other platforms organically. Getting 100 players and 1 sale is better than getting 10 players and 1 sale.

* Can’t find any info on how Roblox search algo works, so from my observations, I assume it’s related to player count over a certain period of time, other metrics might be involved too

if you don’t believe me, make a simple script that with log and send to datastore which devices have bought the most time, last place goes to console users

when i was only sponsoring to console, the game didn’t go up in search, nothing literally has changed, only fake visits while sponsoring, after sponsor ads ends, u barely see 20 visits per day

You don’t need a script. Everyone can view a monetization breakdown by platform in the developer dashboard, but unless you have a relatively high traffic from all of the platforms it’s not going to be very accurate.

Yeah I was going to make a script to log every purchase anyway, I’ll check out the stats next time I sponsor

This is how many console visits I got from 2000 robux campaign. Sadly, this game might be a lost cause due to reliance on full servers and low retention, so I will shift my effort to a new project and see if I can earn something there.

lol who told you such nonsense? my old game got 2k robux per day revenue and with almost >1% of retention (any) it blow up (before roblox back :shock:
)

Experience with game development, mostly. My game has no organic player flow and low playtime so it’s extremely that it will ever blow up. I have ideas on how to improve it, but working on a new game is more exciting.

Thanks for sharing! Wow, I thought I had a good icon, but yours performs 2x better than mine)
Try market to Female, on work days, I think you will get around 0.4 CPP from my experience, and maybe you can reach that with your Income per visit? Just my thought process)

I have some great feedback to share!

I ran some test ads, Spent 600R$ in total on 3 sponser ads, And I made 1000R$ in total in my first day…

This is the photo that shows how they went.

Hello, just by looking at your ads stats it looks great!, i have a question!, which device is better to sponsor for more visits and which device is better for more robux! (i think it is mobile and tablet by looking at a simulator perspective!) and OfCourse how much your budget should be!

I don’t have much experience to tell you, Thats why I’m still testing on more ads. But I suggest reading more topics about ads. From what I read, Most people say Ads with a 10K R$ or more is a good budget, but I disagree and I’m too broke to do that. But to determine which ad is the best varies. Some high intense games may do better using PC ONLY ads. Others games that include cars would probably do better with a MALE gender only. So depending on what game you have, you will have to adjust the ads to your needs and getting the most out of it.

Console male 17+ for very small amounts (like 500) Console male (both ages) for bigger amount

These work the best on my simulator.

what if we tried to put all in all of the devices and in ages? what would be the result?
