I ran ads on WoW sites trying to get them to make books out of their in-game screen shots at the company i do SEM for.
it worked pretty well.

I don't play any video games, but if I did, I'd be too busy playing to look at the ads. I don't think WOW addicts would even notice the ads.... just like cigarette addicts "don't care" about the Surgeon General's warnings/graphic images...
LOL "Ladies you are in luck! You can now finally get your husband / boyfriend back from World of Warcraft! Just advertise with Google!" Lucky me – I don't know anyone addicted to video games. Hmmm... but I'm starting to show signs of addiction to this blog and facebook. =O(I don't notice the ads on this blog! OMG! LOL |
I think in game advertising like the one shown above will ruin games, they'd really anoy the hell out of me. I saw on the net while browsing a company that is integrated into games online and displays different adverts that are part of the game. Eg if your game features a billboard then a company can pay the advertisers to have their ad on that billboard, and it looks like part of the game. Much less contrast and distraction. |
Blizzard would never allow ads in game. The only ads that would show would be ads for buying gold and they are against that. |
No, this will drive a player crazy and ask someone's grandmother.
The ads should be more delicate than common Adsense. |
