How much in ads do you think it would take to get a game in the front page?

To the front page, but it isn't just about ads.

It is about game quality, hype among other things.

My problem isn't keeping the player there. It's letting them know the game exists

From my experience, I can say it takes 30-80k robux. It's a big difference because it depends a lot on how good your game's name and icon is. If it's good, you shouldn't have much trouble getting front page with 30-40k.

Using v3rm? Money isn't an issue for me. If it's 100k then that's what I'll put into ads... I just wanted to know how much would be enough. I don't like to be wasteful or unrealistic

Depends on a number of factors
Day of the week
CTR of the ad
average playtime

I havent advertised sense the tix update, but with a average playtime of 14 mins, I was able to hit 600 concurrent with a 40k bid.

0.6-0.9, if you dont mind me asking how did you get your hands on CTR 2.3? I am looking for a ad maker to make high preformance ads.

I thought you were talking about sponsoring. Yeah, sponsoring is a lot more effective in getting a lot of people to be honest.

I find sponsoring gets about 1/4th the clicks as a CTR 0.6 ad

My sponsoring CTR is about 1%, versus most of my ads hit 2.3%+. I think the extra clicks would outdo the sponsoring. I designed the ads myself.

I understand, but firstly, sponsors get more impressions for the same amount of money. Also, people are more likely to play the game after clicking the sponsor, whereas people are less likely to actually play the game after clicking an advert. Good luck with whatever you choose though :)

Thanks simply! Would you recommend 100k on desktop sponsoring?

100k might be too much, you could be able to get front page with just 60k if you had a nice icon + title. Try testing it out by spending 5k at first to get some feedback, and then spend 60k or a bit more if you want.

I did a few tests this week and I found it to average 1% CTR with my icon. What CTR do you think would be enough?

1% is pretty good, if you spend 60k robux on sponsors, you could get to front page.

Do you recommend the money spread out evenly on different platforms or all for just desktop?

Depends whether your game is fun on mobile/tablet. If you think that most of the people who enjoy themselves will come from computers, do just website. Mobile/tablet can help a little, so you can spend a bit on them, but either way the majority should go to website.
