well... since i only use myspace i vote for myspace.. but i think BOTH are great

What i think is: Make your own banner/ad post it where u want. We should however get organized on the days so we can make it last and not all of us do it the same day. Reason we should just do our ads is... we all have different taste on ads and the whole voting thing takes time for everyone to vote.. so lets just make our own ^^ the ones who dont want to make the ads can just take one from someone who donates ads for the cause

And yes do to money restrictions i sign up for a day hopefully 2!

Yeah, I agree. Although, I can try and save some $$ to pay for an ad somewhere. I'm exhausted right now and the Facebook thing is somewhat complicated to figure out right now. Maybe we should figure out who is willing to donate some money and how much, then that way we can come up with some sort of budget for paid advertising. Maybe, if we can get enough, we can split the budget for advertising on both Facebook and MySpace.

Well~

Honestly Tracy and I along with other fans are ready to start posting these ads ASAP, because as you said time is running out and tickets are not selling out. Time is of the essence I personally plan to post mine tomorrow, And just gathering money from fans... some fans are distructing of giving money to other fans.. So I think as soon as you can post the ad post it (given someone hasnt already posted theirs) the whole splitting thing if i'm paying for the ad does it really matter where it goes? i personally NEVER use facebook, so i'm posting in myspace... again this is me personally.

If u guys wanna deliberate as to where thats fine i just think put it where you want... both sites are HUGE and its ment to be seen it will be seen ^^


** of course if you don't want to make an account and ad to post Tracy and I would be happy to receive the donation and post it in you page of choice ^^ AND YOU WILL RECEIVE A RECIEPT OF AD PURCHASE!**

I really honestly think myspace is better.. I mean they're not a lot of bands on facebook or at least not to my knowledge. Myspace has myspace music and music profiles for bands. I believe they're just more users on myspace looking for new music. We need to advertise VAMPS to people who aren't really into J-rock because chances are if they like J-rock or know of L'arc and Hyde already they're already going to know about the tour.. we need a place people go to discover new bands and to *me* facebook is not that place.

and also once we get the ads up please don't click them since we pay per click if we click on them others won't have a chance to see the ads and the advertising would be pointless.

Yes, but more and more people are using Facebook than MySpace. I really think it's worth advertising on both sites, as we're not just targeting people looking for new music. There are a TON of people who are fans of HYDE/L'Arc~en~Ciel, but still don't know about VAMPS. There are enough of them out there that I don't want to rule them out.

Does it matter WHERE we post? I mean we're paying for it. *i* use myspace, tracy you can use myspace and H.P. you can use facebook. Regardless it will be seen. I'm working on my ad banner now, I'll post it in the morning and show you guys ^-^

And yes please don't click on them to make them last ^^

Again **If you would like to add to the cause but don't want to go through the hassel of creating an account, making ads posting you can PM Tracy or me and we'l happily make u a banner and post it for you on the webpage of YOUR choice. With us you will receivve the email confirmation as receipt so you know we're doing it for you ^^ **

Yes, but more and more people are using Facebook than MySpace. I really think it's worth advertising on both sites, as we're not just targeting people looking for new music. There are a TON of people who are fans of HYDE/L'Arc~en~Ciel, but still don't know about VAMPS. There are enough of them out there that I don't want to rule them out.

But WHO is using MySpace vs Facebook? I believe the studies show that people over 30 use Facebook more while the younger audiences use MySpace. If the majority of VAMPS fans are under 30 then I feel that is the audience that we need to target.
As for trust....I've been severly burned by people, too. But I would not hesitate to donate what I've pledged to Tracy, Tokio, A-S-T, or a few others as they have been bustin' their tushies trying to make this work.
Just my opinion.

I'm okay with posting on both sites, I don't care either way. I know there are A LOT of people who don't use Myspace because of how messy it is. And I know a lot of college age people use facebook.

Anyway, I could maybe donate $5 to each site. Just make sure in the banners it mentions HYDE (L'Arc~en~Ciel) and K.A.Z(Oblivion Dust) for people who don't know about VAMPS but do know about Hydaz.

And if multiple people are posting banners then make sure they're not posted on the same day, that way we can have more days.

I think advertising to both websites would be ok.. maybe the best way we could do it is to have one person handle facebook and one myspace..

like H.P could do facebook if she wanted then you could send all your donations to her if you wanted your ad on facebook and my crew me, jazmin, iceybabes could do myspace. The more people involved the more confusing its going to get for everyone.

I agree. I this should be a coordinated effort so the advertising does not overlap in times. Since we have limited funding we want to make the best use of the money that we have. Perhaps people who are interested in helping make the ads could contact Tracy or H.P. by a set date so they could get started. We also need how to donate....paypal....checks...however???
Thanks to everyone for what they are doing!!!!
