I'm the OP. If you haven't heard of Facebook Offers, they're like coupons businesses can post on their Facebook page. But, if you're not already a Fan, they can be difficult to discover - so we made Foibly. Appreciate any feedback!

My first question, as a user, would be - "How much?" Maybe create a page for each game you support with examples of quests/costs/the level of "companions" available and their experience...

You should consider, if you haven't already, doing some SEO work (both onpage and off) to target related keywords. It's usually cheaper and more successful (in my experience) than just buying ads, plus the affects are more long term.

Keywords such as "world of warcraft" + "help, guide, tips, quest help" would be good targets. Start on keywords with lower monthly search #s to get started.

Gl, and please post an update in the future to let us know how it goes.

Love the idea. How will you market it?

I also didn't like having to give my email just to see what you're selling, but did it anyway. And then found out that you're "full up", but you'll get back to me when there's room. I'm annoyed that that I'll now get email from you and so far you've provided me nothing.

I hate when that happens. However, with proper SEO, your site could still get a lot of visits. A quick search of Google Keywords shows that tens-of-thousands of people are searching for "court date" related items.

Large images ( > 1 MB or so ) put into a Canvas in Chrome cause Chrome to crash with the frowny face Uh oh. At least it did as of a few months ago, not sure if it's been fixed yet.
