This is a revised version of one of my previous ideas, which can be found here:

http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=77224715

What the idea is:

Currently, roblox makes money 2 ways, from Builders Club and from advertisements. My idea would increase money from advertisements.

The ads you see right now are not very relevant, and I would like to see that changed. I see ads that I do not care about very much. This would apply to user made ads as well as company ads.

How it works:

When a user uploads an ad, they would have a choice of selecting what audience they are targeting (like what type of game they are advertising), and they could choose this or choose nothing. If they choose nothing the site automatically looks at the genre of the item they are advertising. For a group, it couldn't see automatically what genre, unless roblox adds group genres.

Group genre idea here:

http://www.roblox.com/Forum/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=77414414

For companies, they would choose what audience they are targeting as well. If companies could target their audience more effectively, they would pay more for ads, increasing revenue for roblox.

The website would look at a user's gameplay history, and they would see ads related to what games they play. If they added group genres, the site would look at what groups a user was in, and base ads off of that. Also, maybe roblox could have users fill out a survey to get more personalized ads.

Users could also choose specifically what kinds of ads they want to see, under the 'account' tab. it would say: "See ads for:" with checkboxes and these items:

Places
All the place genres listed here
Groups
If they had group genres, group genres listed here
Shirts
All shirt genres listed here
T-Shirts
All T-Shirt genres listed here
Models
All Model Genres listed here

You would have to check at least 3 of the 5 main categories. By default all would be checked. And to even things out, if too many people had unchecked an item, when you try to uncheck the item, it would say too many people have unchecked this, please try again later. This way you can choose what types of items you want ads for.

Example:

I play mostly war games. Primarily I would see ads for war games. I could also disable ads for groups, unless too many other people had already done so.

Support? Great.

No support? Please give a valid reason.

Thanks for reading.

Yes, I support this would be good because more roblox users and companies would get more CTR (Click Through Ratio) so roblox could get more money from companies and more roblox users would get more place visits,/sells on what there advertising. So yes, I do support.

@Mattandjeffjardy619

It would also help with your idea of getting robux from watching videos. Or, roblox could reward you every time you clicked a company ad.

Yes, that is a good idea, but is roblox willing to actually do that?

If it means more money for them, that would probably get it bumped to the top of their priorities.

I PMed MasterChiefAlpha about this, though no response. Is there a way I could get a mod to see this? Besides reporting it, of course.

The only way they could see it is if you contacted them, info@roblox.com
Good luck!

As of late they are checking the S&I forumers more and more often, so posting this here was the best move.
