[topaz mirage]

Hi

[rain elk]

yo

[tranquil dawn]

Can I place mutiple bids at once?

[oak whale]

You can, yes

[polar pendant]

I'm not getting the verify email? How long does that usually take?

[tardy agate]

what

[ruby laurel]

Nothing

[umbral yew]

i think

now is the time to get mah bot into top.gg

[glass fern]

so i have doubt so first we bid

but what if we are not in the top?

do our money wont be getting back?

or is it like first we enter the amount we are bidding then if we win we pay?

[polar pendant]

I am unfamiliar with bidding. What does this mean? $1.00 @ $30

[lone geode]

You will be paying 1$ per 1000 impressions for a max of 30$ @ 30k impressions

[dire hill]

i have a question about the cote credits. So do you recieve 15$ vote credits every time you get 101 votes per month, oe just once?

[river gulch]

Every month you surpass 100 votes and 1$ on top for each 1000 votes

[neat valley]

when are the votes reset

[oak whale]

The first of the month at midnight UTC

[neat valley]

so not tomorrow

?

[oak whale]

Tomorrow is not the first of the month, so no

[neat valley]

ok thank you very much, you asked maybe it can change because it is another country, take it easy

[oak whale]

It's UTC, which isn't affected by daylight savings or other timezones

[neat valley]

Is there a withdrawal limit and how is the payment method?

[oak whale]

You can't withdrawal anything. Any credits you earn are usable in auctions only

[neat valley]

[haughty lagoon]

Not a good week?

[cinder otter]

Great week. Cranked out some awesome features.
Ad space on Top.gg just getting more pricey since the last time I bought a slot haha

Plus with .NET 7 on the horizon, who could complain. Juh know

[haughty lagoon]

Yeah have to be a little creative with top.gg 😎

Net 7 ? 👀

Sounds really good though, congrats ❤️

[wild bobcat]

people just went crazy in the last hour of bidding

[neat valley]

Today was the first time when I used top.gg auction & won a spot! Really happy lmao hahahah. Thanks top.gg! (Idk if it's relevant here but don't yeeet me lmao)

[neat valley]

[neat valley]

Uh, 2nd spot on front page ...

[wild bobcat]

DAMN! which bot?

[neat valley]

Nah bro

Not bot

[wild bobcat]

Oh, server

[neat valley]

Discord termed my account.. deleted my bot then they lifted the ban after some days

Like bruh it hurts now

Anyways, not relevant to channel so nvm

[wild bobcat]

I could just get 1 spot

[neat valley]

Yes

[neat valley]

Which one?

[wild bobcat]

Stock Market spot, wanted the crypto one too but somebody bid 40$ for 1k impressions

[neat valley]

First time I didn't notice the button to pay with wallet

And I was scared asf about how to pay

💀 but finally shit is clear now

[wild bobcat]

NICE, For my bot, front page is useless

[neat valley]

Damnn

[neat valley]

Tbh I'm new to this so learning.. prolly will try on other tags ig?

Idk

[wild bobcat]

I had bid last week too, I was about to use my Credit card, but got declined

[neat valley]

Yeye I've seen u there plenty of times

[wild bobcat]

Oh, Nice

With servers, there are many ways to advertise

One is top.gg auctions

another one is reddit ig

[neat valley]

Reddit?

It works?

[wild bobcat]

Some people do join

[neat valley]

Hmm shall we take our convo to different channel? 👀

[frosty thistle]

hate to break it to you brother but $40 for 1k impressions is arguably the worst deal ive seen ever

[wild bobcat]

Agreed!

Ads go live in 10 secs, lessgooo

[fallow lodge]

That’s why personally i think there need to be warnings for things like bad cpm bids

From looking at the bid list on Monday, I’d think that most people who bidded had no idea how CPM works, as a lot of people bidded like $50@$50 and $100@$100

[earnest slate]

That has always been the case

There were some ideas on how to teach new auctioneers

[fallow lodge]

I feel like support articles should give some form of guidance on how to bid well

I did suggest a popup for bad CPMs

[earnest slate]

Still do not understand how those things can happen. I also was a newbie and did not "mess up" that hard

[earnest slate]

This was you, I remember this!

[fallow lodge]

[fallow lodge]

I sorta used my eBay bidding experiences to help me

[earnest slate]

Image server kicking in hard right now...

[fallow lodge]

Yup I remember that

[earnest slate]

There should be a simulation area

[fallow lodge]

Yeah

Or a mini video explaining the auctions dashboard

[earnest slate]

I bet that is by far the best and fastest solution

[fallow lodge]

Yeah

[earnest slate]

With a big disclaimer: "YOU ARE SPENDING YOUR OWN MONEY OR CREDITS"

[fallow lodge]

With big red text

YOU ARE SPENDING YOUR OWN MONEY OR CREDITS

[earnest slate]

Then one would not watch the video anymore

[fallow lodge]

I feel like there should be a popup on everyone’s first time opening auctions showing the basics in a video

[earnest slate]

I don't know if Top.gg even keeps track of that in some way

[fallow lodge]

I mean if they wanted to start 😄

[neat valley]

Insane 💀

[full spade]

i can one up that my dude

[fallow lodge]

i should check my stats

[frosty thistle]

it would be disadvantageous financially for top.gg to do that but it would be nice for them to do that

[fallow lodge]

Yeah

[frosty thistle]

it also means i dont have to get outcompeted by a bunch of idiots who are just wasting their own money

if i bid like $2.50 cpm and get outcompete by $5, i wouldnt mind too much thats fair

but 40 50 60 etc is ridiculoud

[earnest slate]

I feel bad for this...

[full spade]

bit annoying but I'm not too fussed tbh, its only vote credits

i barely even use my vote credits nowadays anyway

always forget

[wild bobcat]

Which slot is that?

[wild bobcat]

agreed

[full spade]

who ghost pinged me

[candid lily]

Rudra

[frosty thistle]

bro click rates are making me depressed fr

[earnest slate]

Noobs!

[neat valley]

auctions is stable™️

[frosty thistle]

😳😳😳

that one mf clicking your ad 8868 times

[earnest slate]

I did not even participate, kind of funny!

Just a visual thing, still funny

Imagine I would have to pay for that!

[frosty thistle]

[neat valley]

[wild bobcat]

💀

[neat valley]

[wild bobcat]

On what basis is the starting bid calculated, I am assuming Past CTR. What exactly is the formula

[oak whale]

The minimum CPM bid for a category is based on the past weeks highest CPM divided by 4

[chilly stratus]

hello, my profile picture is not visible on topgg?

[oak whale]

Hi, please ask in #support

[olive jasper]

Hello

[neat valley]

We're desperate, I was willing to put in 55 dollars for 1k impressions and the auction ended too soon, oh well

[neat valley]

I put in bids early so I can get the spot at the cheapest price so check this out:

• Spot has 200k impressions and I bid 10 dollars for 10000 impressions, others bid 2,3 or 5 for say another 10 to 20k impressions because they can't bid less than the first bidder but I could be wrong and that'd defeat the purpose of this whole post
• If we don't have enough bidders for 200k impressions then I get those 10k impressions for a steal
• If people don't bid early they won't be allowed to get 10k impressions for 10 dollars
• And that's why I bid early

[main saddle]

C

[torn swan]

People still can bid 1$ CPMm there is 200k impression, but if their is 200K+ impression bid with more than 1$ ECPM, then you get nothing

[neat valley]

Only if all 200k impressions have been bid on which is rare for servers and I’m not sure about bots

[frosty thistle]

BEO WTF ARE THESE CLCIK RATES

0.003% click rate bro

aow

ans im pretry sure its gone over the expected impressions

i am not paying extra for 5 clicks bro

[earnest slate]

Well, technically you have to, if you really got extra impressions

[neat valley]

If you're advertising for bots try to use more specific bids, if you don't have specific bids and you have to advertise broadly
It's going to cost you a lot of money to get a lot of clicks

[frosty thistle]

its servers

[frosty thistle]

im not being forced to

[neat valley]

What's the theme of your server? And does it fit in any of the other categories?
Front page, search dropdown, more servers like this, top page, and empty search results are all for broad broad advertising and if you have a ton of money

[earnest slate]

If it’s within your maximum bid range you can be charged for extra impressions

[frosty thistle]

freelance hiring for bot dev

[candid lily]

May not apply to everyone to the site, the servers section is mostly used by non-technical users and may not be appealing to them, nor would apply to searches much (since your target audience are servers looking for bots not servers)

in the other hand, if you have done that on the bot section (by a custom product), you may end up with a higher CTR as most users are looking for bots for their needs and may be willing to get freelancers to do them one

then it just depends on which tag you place it and how appealing your ad is

[frosty thistle]

fair

once i get enough money, ill try it on the bot section next time

[neat valley]

Tags to bid on: free hosting bot tag, server support tag, developer tag will all give you many more clicks, also please refine your server ad if you can to make it more appealing as Syrutn't says

[frosty thistle]

i see, fair enough

[neat valley]

So I advertise and bid for a gaming server, we have a lot of categories that we can put our server under
We have had a lot of success with just using specific categories to advertise on
Unless money is unlimited or you have a huge budget or your server doesn't fit the other categories then broad ads aren't worth it

[mortal forum]

When do auctions start and end utc?

[earnest slate]

[wide herald]

Any option to pay?

[silent briar]

and the amount I need to pay is wrong as well

[torn swan]

Is also your first time ?
I clicked payment automatic personally

[silent briar]

im not clicking auto payment

I was outbid multiple times and those are still within the final price

[torn swan]

You will pay only when it end and you won

[silent briar]

come on i should be working on an update not stressing about this :T

[silent briar]

IDK what i won or not anymore

and it does not seem like i can check :T

[torn swan]

It should not be finished, so unknow i guess

[wide herald]

@silent briar

[silent briar]

wtf!

[torn swan]

top page you still show first

You did bid 1$ more than the other guy

You could have bid 1.55$ and get plenty of impression

[silent briar]

idrk how 1.55 is diffrent from 1

[torn swan]

You bid 5$ for ECPM on this slot, you are Guardian or ?

"@Pukhraj Bid $50 USD CPM with a total spending limit of $5000 on Front Page - Top Voted - Slot 2 - bot"

Okay someone getting serious ! lol

end in a hour now

[silent briar]

yea

GOD DAMN IT

i cant do anything wtf

[torn swan]

haha, i had lot of issue too, now is fix. let's see how it goes

You can go to bid and see who is the winner right ?

You will also get discord notif if you get outbid

[silent briar]

still get what?

[silent briar]

no for me it says the bidding is done

[neat valley]

It says for me that the auction has not ended

[silent briar]

for me it just ended :T

I even bid more thinking it was going to end in 3 minutes

[neat valley]

Is this for bot or server?

[silent briar]

bot

[neat valley]

I just checked, bot is still open too

Try to place a bid and see what happens

[silent briar]

I cant already tried

[neat valley]

Also check #auctions-support the bids are still going

[silent briar]

yea i did

was told to clear my cache

did that

didnt work

tried a different browser same thing

[torn swan]

Basic tips

[silent briar]

yea not much help

[torn swan]

Maybe check your clock lol

[silent briar]

my clock is correct

[neat valley]

Are 1000 impressions good?

[silent briar]

not by a long shot ngl

thats 1/28th what we have in users

and if we assume 20% add your bot

[neat valley]

How many servers will my bot join?

[silent briar]

[highly unlikely]

you would get 200 members

so your paying for a fraction of exposure and a fraction of returns

[neat valley]

?

It’s a bot

[silent briar]

id assume between 10-200

[neat valley]

Not a server

[silent briar]

but mostly small servers

[neat valley]

Oh

[silent briar]

larger servers will always opt for proven bots

which always seem to snipe these auctions for way more than indie devs can even afford

so were kind of screwed

[torn swan]

I see the ads of Mushroom bot, their website is really nice

[silent briar]

my bids arent even updating anymore

[neat valley]

Which bid?

I have to wait until my brother gets home to put in a bid

[silent briar]

wait

are you even old enough to bid?

[torn swan]

lol

[neat valley]

I'm 31 years old, but don't own the server

[silent briar]

ohhh xD

[neat valley]

Even though I'm the one fronting all the money

I have a small budget of about 90 dollars this week

[silent briar]

ive got 10 B>

well actually i got 1100

[neat valley]

That's quite a budget, and you're bidding on bot slots?

[silent briar]

but after this support and horrid exprince im spending 10$

[silent briar]

yea

I was actually going to spend 60% of our ad budget on this

[neat valley]

Same here, I had an issue last week where my account went to zero dollars, thankfully the money was refunded

I'm hitting around 70% of my budget right now, and after these next round of bids it'll probably be 110% but we'll see

After a few weeks of looking at where we're finding the most clicks, I've been able to slowly narrow my budget down and make it more efficient

[silent briar]

but ngl the structure is horrid and a bit predatory with the way its presented

the "budget" should have been named appropriately and not just called budget

it gives the user the idea that "Oh they mean my total budget"

then once the user clicks on the tiny lil question mark

they realise that its per bid... :T

[torn swan]

Xeno,
Your server look very nice, is it a server to play game on discord only ?

I also bid to different spot to see what perform best

You could also create an account and create a product campaign and then you wouldn't need to have the discord access.

[neat valley]

A lot of people are mislead by the way things are setup, but it helps me because people will overbid on something with their total budget and I know how many impressions I'll get total so I can do a higher bid with a lower maximum budget

[neat valley]

It's mainly a gaming server

[silent briar]

it really looks promising on the outside

but it truely boils down to tow things

[neat valley]

I'm going to look into this

[neat valley]

For the money, we've been bringing in a lot of members

[silent briar]

1. massive bots bidding outrages amounts and blocking indie devs
2. users being tricked into putting more money into their account and feeling the need to use it

[silent briar]

I mean depends

for a bot there are massive bots advertising

massive servers dont need advertising

[neat valley]

My server decently sized and to continue growing we need a lot of advertising

[neat valley]

I do see the bot bids and the numbers are extremely high

[silent briar]

a server with 30k users needs no advertising

[neat valley]

We're currently sitting at 19700

[silent briar]

but a bot with 30k servers needs it

[neat valley]

I would say that the bot advertising is more competitive and requires more money

[silent briar]

yea

someone just outbid us by 45$

someone else bid 100$ and their budget is 5000$ :T

that was their first bid btw

not like they walked up easy into the 100$

they yeeted themselves into it

[neat valley]

That's unfortunate, the bot developers have a very high budget
I was outbid on a few auctions, but my budget is very high compared to other servers so I'm going to outbid them till they give up

[silent briar]

no no

they arent bot dev's

at this point its a for profit project

but 90+% of bot devs are indie

so were kind of screwed eh?

lol I had to save up and work multiple jobs to get the 1,100$ for advertising

[torn swan]

Indie developer always have a hard time, but we can't give up

[silent briar]

bro, a previous staff member is our competition, were losing servers im working 16 hours a day to make an insane update

and then after all that

[torn swan]

IT say end in 58 minutes, now

[silent briar]

we had out hopes on this

this horrendous service breaks the whole plan down

[neat valley]

I work about 16 hours a day or more on my brother's and my Discord server; it's a lot of work and a LOT of money too that needs to be put into it

We run.....almost 400 ads outside of top.gg as well so our exposure is a far as we can go while spending efficiently

[silent briar]

where?

[supple cosmos]

yea where xD

[silent briar]

400 ads?

[neat valley]

So uh, this is for discord servers though, I'm not sure about bots

[silent briar]

thats insane

WE HAVE SUPPORT SERVERS

[neat valley]

So when you go to top.gg and type in advertising servers I use literally any server I can find

[silent briar]

that...

isnt so smart but a good idea ig

ik a server that scammed someone over 2k lo

[neat valley]

It's been working well for us over the past 2 years

[silent briar]

how big is ur server?

[torn swan]

He have 20K member

[neat valley]

Around 20k, my brother just got home, time to outbid everyone

[supple cosmos]

😮

[neat valley]

These past 40 minutes make me nervous

[torn swan]

Nervous but excited too lol

Still have to wait 24 hours before the ads start loll

[neat valley]

My last weeks ads will be running until then

[supple cosmos]

https://tenor.com/view/money-heist-gif-24267784

[neat valley]

Alright, everyone’s been outbid

[supple cosmos]

🙂

[neat valley]

Someone put a 100 dollar bid in on one bid so I’m gonna let that go and if he doesn’t pay I get his slot

[haughty lagoon]

Have to have atleast 40 tabs open with bids

[supple cosmos]

Then stop bidding xD

Let us deadly have a go too 😄

[haughty lagoon]

https://tenor.com/view/nope-gif-23756243

Need my bids

[supple cosmos]

😄

[neat valley]

This stuff makes me so nervous

[haughty lagoon]

haha the monday night routine

[neat valley]

And now I’m prioritizing which bids that I NEED

I think the thing that I hate is when people swoop in at the last second to bid. I’m bidding all week and they want to wait till the last minute? It’s weird

[haughty lagoon]

Thats the thing about bidding 😉

[supple cosmos]

Best thing to do is bid up a lot last min 😛

[haughty lagoon]

Those last min big bids 😄

[neat valley]

Only problem is that I have to watch over 20 bids

[supple cosmos]

xD

[haughty lagoon]

Multitab and shit tab between them

shift

my bad ctrl + tab

[supple cosmos]

To stressed for multi bidding xD

[blissful torrent]

Any explanation why CPM are so high this week?

Particular circumstances?

[supple cosmos]

a lot of bidding

[torn swan]

Because it's the beginning of the month, paycheck

[supple cosmos]

paycheck so early? 😮

[torn swan]

I actually got pay the 10 of each month, but before it was the first of the month In canada

Some people really overbid too much lolll

[wide herald]

eh it changed to 2 min from 10sec?

[torn swan]

It seems over ))

[haughty lagoon]

GG

[torn swan]

Won 4 slot for now ))

[neat valley]

I’ve never been under so much stress in my life

These people bid hard but I got the slots I wanted thank goodness

[supple cosmos]

@mental siren Damn your paycheck most be high this time xD

[torn swan]

Still can win more bid if they don't pay it

[mental siren]

:D

[neat valley]

I officially give up on Valorant slot 1

[supple cosmos]

ppl from Sweden have ad money 😛

[neat valley]

Congrats boostopia I couldn’t outbid you

[torn swan]

haha crazy yeah

I'm going now, Thanks for the fun guys

See you Later

[supple cosmos]

@mental siren Well played this time. xD

[neat valley]

I spent 100 dollars this week on bids, not bad

[haughty lagoon]

Ah you were the void, gg

[neat valley]

This Dallair guy has bottomless pockets or something, those numbers are crazy

[neat valley]

Yes

[haughty lagoon]

https://tenor.com/view/bow-bowing-michael-scott-steve-carell-the-office-gif-5632990

[neat valley]

I was outbid on game tag slot 2 as well

[haughty lagoon]

Ah yeah, that tag went above it's roi

[neat valley]

I agree, I spent way more money on slot one than I wanted to

[haughty lagoon]

I think I always have an average 1.50-1.70 cpm across, just

But good weeks and bad 💪

[supple cosmos]

I only bid on two slots 😛

[neat valley]

I won 22 slots total

[supple cosmos]

But i dont think the temporary voice channel slots are good for 20 usa money xD

[neat valley]

I analyze the bids every week to see what the best way to spend the money is

Not the bids but the statistics

[supple cosmos]

Some slots are better than others for the money

[neat valley]

Alright auctions are over I wanted to give @sweet quail a shout out for outbidding me on Valorant, well deserved, I couldn't do it, I couldn't outbid you

[brittle carbon]

That's the good fair-play auctions spirit we like to see!

[sweet quail]

I appreciate that you're a good sport

[neat valley]

Likewise

[silent briar]

So when exactly do we start seeing the ads?

I paid and I'm awaiting to see the ads register in my overview

[neat valley]

13 more hours

[silent briar]

Thanks you have been hella helpful

[neat valley]

No problem, it took me a few weeks to figure out how the whole system works. It’s pretty simple

[silent briar]

Shouldn't have taken that long loo

[neat valley]

My first week of bids were awful and as time went on I've been able to fine tune it better and better especially after being able to analyze the data

[sweet quail]

what is the difference between top page and front page?

[neat valley]

Front page is when you first go to top.gg, but I'm not certain what top page is. Anyone else have any idea what top page is?

[candid lily]

https://top.gg/list/top

[neat valley]

Thank you for clearing this up for us

[silent briar]

Any idea when the ads go live?

[wild briar]

About 8 hours

[silent briar]

Thanks

[brittle carbon]

Note that based off the "going live" time listed above, you may have to wait an hour for site cache to clear.

[silent briar]

:T so just add an hr

daiim

[candid lily]

Adding an hour does not work as the caching may be different per users

aswell as that being the time when the ads are actually applied/set internally, so best to go off of that

[white thicket]

Hi

[neat valley]

2 hours 18 minutes from now

[silent briar]

ah alr

[silent briar]

bro... how could a prediction be so wrong :">

one of our ads already passed 1k

0% ctr

0 clicks in general

like 2% xD

[full spade]

what slot is it xD

[silent briar]

multiple slots...

[silent briar]

all of the slots combined get like 2%

each on their own get

1. 0%
2. 8%

nvm

2. dropped to 5%

I can feel it- my budget- its disappearing!

[neat valley]

So when I see a low ctr and I paid more than a dollar for it then I won’t bid on that ad the following week since my budget is limited

Honestly a lot of my lower ctrs under a dollar have the highest percentages of clicks and I know why; no one else is advertising in that category

Bidding has started again, get those early slots for cheap

Just a quick question, how long do promotions last?

[brittle carbon]

Your ad runs until it uses up all the impressions you paid for

[neat valley]

Oh cool

What if it doesn’t meet the impressions i paid for?

[brittle carbon]

Then you get a refund for the corresponding amount of missing impressions

[neat valley]

Cool

If your budget allows it’ll be up to 1 week then you have to bid on it again

[torn swan]

The campaign name only show the slot name, but doesn't specific if it was bot or server, how to make the difference, i bid on both slot of server and bot haha

[neat valley]

It shows it on the left side next to the slot

[agile timber]

I asked this too. Front page is obviously the first thing when you go to the site and click either "Discord Bots" or "Discord Servers". Top page is when, below those headers, you actually click on the "Top" text.. it loads a somewhat different version of the page which tbh im not sure anyone would know is actually there or different than the default view

"Top page" listing gives you the slots at the top of that page and at the top of the "Trending New Servers" list, which is down below on the Front page.

Has anyone compared results of posting an ad as a product vs. as a server listing?

[neat valley]

I haven’t had that kinda experience

[torn swan]

Once i have my stats of the gaming server appear i will know, but it may take some time since i was bellow Xeno 😛

[neat valley]

What tag did we both bid on?

[silent briar]

What didn't you bid on lol

[neat valley]

I bid on almost everything server related

I have 47 slots I bid on and

Probably gonna win most of them for pennies on the dollar

[earnest slate]

True, though you will likely not get that much impressions/joins from those tags

[neat valley]

It all adds up

[earnest slate]

Had the experience once, though it was for a bot

[neat valley]

I think servers and bots are similar; the more features your bot has the more slots you can advertise on
The more games and things you offer in your server the more slots you can advertise on

This isn't rocket science

[earnest slate]

Though it’s easier for a server to adapt

[neat valley]

Agreed agreed, for the server all we need as a base and once we have that base we just find more and more members for that specific category and boom we're good

OSU for example, we're looking for more OSU players, then they'll have people to play with and it's a turbo/vortex effect; will be able to attract more players and all of a sudden we have a category

Umm for bots,,,y'all have to program, test, implement, work out bugs, etc to add more features so I do understand the difficulty

The competition is fierce as well, however, if those categories, if the bot developers really push to make these categories easy to use and effective, you can smash the competition
At the end of the day, there's more profit potential for bots especially if done right
My server has been operating for 2 years and we're not even close to being profitable

[earnest slate]

Partially agree. For developers it’s far worse when it comes to satisfying the user base. If you have the right mindset and do things right you can however still reach a large user base. I had a bot for like one year and was always stuck between 240-250 servers at the end. I “restarted” the project, made things different, used auctions and now it’s growing constantly and also pretty fast

[neat valley]

That's the most important part changing things up and looking at things from a different angle. How can you best offer your services/bot to servers in a unique, efficient, and easy way that will reach the widest audience/servers. The bots that I have on my server what I look for is ease of use and utility. How is this bot going to improve my server? How is this bot going to make my life easier (very important)?

I have no limit on how many bots I want to add to my server, if they have a use and purpose I'm good with having them, right now our server has over 30 bots

[neat valley]

I actually checked out your bot and I'm adding it to my test server now and I'm about to leave a good review too

[earnest slate]

Thanks, that’s really kind, though you wouldn’t have to, just so you know!

[earnest slate]

True, though I always felt like it’s hard to fill a gap in the market and yet I see new bots with fresh ideas

Sometimes design and how accessible a bot is are also pretty important

[neat valley]

Exactly, and we get a lot of new bots all the time, but the issue that I have with these bots some of the new ones is that they glitch out, the UI is not streamlined, and the guide to using the bot is broken and difficult to understand

I'm a server leader, not a programmer/developer lol. I left you a good review on your bot and currently testing it in my test server

[earnest slate]

I feel like too many commands and stuff end in bad user experience. I know bots that have 100 commands with endless sub-commands and settings to do. This is a clear "no-go" for me.
I am finished with the "good base" of the bot and now try to improve the bot in many ways (consistency, accessibility, how it looks/acts etc.)

Auctions is also giving me a good opportunity to grow in many ways and I can see that it is worth it to keep updating it

[neat valley]

The auctions have been a blessing for me too. Our server has grown by 8% in the past 3 weeks and we have over 20k members
The bots, so....the variety of commands and features is fine. The issue and like you brought up these features need to be done right, they need to done with a lot of care and time in each one to make them stand out the best possible. If yes, a developer adds 100 commands and they're all terrible, then the bot is terrible

[wild bobcat]

So the webhook messages in the #bids are controlled by your bot?

[candid lily]

they are controlled by auctions.top.gg likely

thats how webhooks work

you can override the name

[mortal forum]

What would a good CTR% be? Ping on reply please

[candid lily]

a high one

[neat valley]

A good percentage; anything over 15% is good

[brittle carbon]

I've worked with Google ads in the past for clients and I've never seen a CTR over 15% on any advertising platform. Usually 7% is considered a very good CTR in most industries. Anything above 10% is extremely rare and very good.

[neat valley]

Here's my CTR percentages, what you're telling me is that I'm doing outstanding
I have many CTRs over 15% and over 10%, maybe I'm the advertising king?

[candid lily]

take a note of your impressions vs the clicks once you've reached your final impressions

it will likely get below that 15%

[neat valley]

This screenshot was taken at the end of my weekly campaign

Most of them well over 15%

[brittle carbon]

Those tags probably have fewer results and as a result you have a higher CTR.

[earnest slate]

My highest was 13% though I did not have that much impressions but the clicks were good

Mostly I have between 2-5%

[neat valley]

This is a good observation, all my tags have very few results so the CTR is higher, now let's look at this from a different angle. I have 24 tags with fewer results, that all adds up, so even if I'm paying pennies for these tags the high CTR on most of them is going to still give me big results on a good budget

[brittle carbon]

Yep that's true but those CTR aren't reflective of the market

[neat valley]

The only reason besides the few impressions is that there's no competition in those categories so a lot of people are going to be clicking on my ad

[late spire]

How much are u paying for the impressions tho? Could u have similar numbers with lower ctr and pay less?

Possible

Ctr is good but without volume kinda irrelevant

[neat valley]

Here's what I'm paying for impressions
I have good CTR, low volume, but a lot of slots for pennies on the dollar sometimes so it evens out

[late spire]

Okay yeah that makes sense, as long as you aren't paying 5$ for clicks with that volume lol

[neat valley]

I'm overpaying for Minecraft but that's because I need it

[late spire]

I accidentally bid 40$ for 300 impressions last week but thankfully someone outbid me

[neat valley]

If.......I had to bid that one Minecraft I would do it

[late spire]

Do u feel like ur start is working?

[neat valley]

But it's not recommended

[late spire]

strat*

[neat valley]

It's working very well, we have a 42% retention rate in my server and we get about 1200 joins a week so I'm very impressed

My weekly budget is about 100 dollars a week which is nothing compared to what I'd be paying on twitter, YouTube, Google and those ads aren't as focused as top.gg

[late spire]

Damn that's pretty good considering how much your bids are

1200 new ppl a week ain't bad at all

[neat valley]

It’s insane, the numbers are over the top. I mean my advertising thread and server is unique and I’ve created another blanket channel for members on our off categories like OSU for example

I’m all about growth and don’t care how it happens

[late spire]

That's awesome that it's working out. I love discords like this because you can really learn a lot from how everyone else runs their stuff.

[neat valley]

Thank you, the most important thing I’ve learned is have multiple streams of advertising, offer a lot then offer more, offer variety, quality and uniqueness

But it all really comes down to the more categories your discord server is, the more people you’ll get

[silent briar]

eyo guys

I think there may be another bug

I got 131k views

yet not one click...?

if we assume each user had a 1% chance of clicking on the ad that would still be 1310 clicks...

[earnest slate]

Sounds like a bug, yes. Did you win a spot for "search dropdown"?

[neat valley]

I did my first bid for The Void, I'm so happy

[neat valley]

This bidding has me stressed out to the kilt

[glossy quiver]

lmao

[neat valley]

I'm gonna panic and lose a few bids, I know it

if I overpay who cares, if I lose a slot I'm gonna die

[glossy quiver]

my budget is tiny so if i overpay im screwed

[neat valley]

I've got dual monitors up right now wish me luck everyone

[neat valley]

How many slots are you bidding on?

[glossy quiver]

only like 3 or 4

[glossy quiver]

me too

[neat valley]

At least you don't have as much stress as me, I'm bidding on 42 slots

[glossy quiver]

wth

[neat valley]

For you, make sure your maximum budget for all your 4 slots doesn't pass your total budget and you'll be fine

[neat valley]

I know, it's a lot

[glossy quiver]

😭

i could never

i'd be in debt for a while if i did that

[neat valley]

I have a huge budget

Night lounge please don't take any of my slots, I'm scared lol

[glossy quiver]

[neat valley]

I'm ready for a bidding war

I have 5 critical slots that I CANNOT lose

[glossy quiver]

which ones

[neat valley]

Thankfully you're bidding on bot slots and I'm bidding on server slots

[glossy quiver]

Noooooooooo

😭

[neat valley]

Does it pass your budget?

I'm also bidding on spotify server

slot

[glossy quiver]

im bidding on the bot one

😢

unless i wanna spend my whole budget on 1 slot i've lost that

😔

[neat valley]

I'm sorry man

[glossy quiver]

[neat valley]

I got outbid on chill tag slot 1 and refuse to pay 20 bucks for 1k impressions so that's done

[glossy quiver]

NOOOOOOO

AGAIN

😭

[neat valley]

This is awful, now I'm super stressed

Actually, if I lose one of my 5 critical slots I'll bid up to 100 dollars for 1k impressions on my critical

[glossy quiver]

the bot tags are more stressful, without advertising my bot goes no where

same could be said for the servers tbh

[glossy quiver]

😳

[neat valley]

I have 14 streams of advertising for my server and top.gg is just 1

[glossy quiver]

pls share 😭 i need more places to advertise

top.gg is the only one i have

this "Slice - Get paid to stream music" bot is taking all my slots

im gonna cry

[neat valley]

After bidding we'll talk

13 more minutes

[glossy quiver]

i dont even think its a bot, it might just be a product linking to a website

[glossy quiver]

[neat valley]

How many more slots do you have left?

[glossy quiver]

2

[neat valley]

Anyone wanna do a bid war, let's do this right here right now not at the last second

[glossy quiver]

ill do a bid war with my remaining $1 of my budget

[neat valley]

Let's win this man! Let's bring it home

[glossy quiver]

lost another one

😔

[neat valley]

My stress levels are so high I'm gonna die

[haughty lagoon]

gg 🙏

[neat valley]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!

I DIED!!! I freaking died

[haughty lagoon]

im sry :<

[neat valley]

That was so stressful

[glossy quiver]

😢

[neat valley]

I'm dead people, I'm dead

[haughty lagoon]

What tag was it? I'll leave it open next time.

[neat valley]

That was one of the most stressful moments of my life

[glossy quiver]

well there was 2

musica and spotify

[neat valley]

Oh my gosh people, I had a heart attack

[haughty lagoon]

Oh yeah love those. Hey you got 2nd tag with 1$ CPM

even better

[glossy quiver]

[neat valley]

I took a lot of second slots this time around

[haughty lagoon]

Looks good 😎

[haughty lagoon]

They honestly aren't bad.

[glossy quiver]

yea

[neat valley]

My stomach is killing me from all the stress

[haughty lagoon]

Slot one often gets a little bit of bot traffic in my experience, from crawlers and such, but almost the same traffic as second placement

[glossy quiver]

usually i get about 400 extra servers from the spotify tag (when i was slot 1)

[haughty lagoon]

Uh nice 😎

[glossy quiver]

lol

23 bucks for 1k impressions i could never

[neat valley]

Here's what I won

I've never been under so much stress

[glossy quiver]

what the

i've never seen so many open payments in my life

[neat valley]

I won a lot of bids

The stress is real, now it's time to calm down and relax

[haughty lagoon]

Nice list, at that count aswell ^^

https://tenor.com/view/master-oogway-kung-fu-panda-inner-peace-gif-11501603

[neat valley]

Critical tags I got: Fortnite, Apex, Overwatch, Minecraft, Among us, Warzone, Call of Duty

I'm having an ulcer right now

[haughty lagoon]

But why are you double bidding? just out of curiosity

[neat valley]

Critical slots, if I lose one slot I got the other

I cannot afford to lose either slot so I double bid

[haughty lagoon]

Makes sense, do that to a few too

[neat valley]

I am completely fine with slot 2

However, I was stressed man I bid on whatever I could

[haughty lagoon]

Otherwise get an extra ad for slot 2 locations. So if you get both you have 2 chances to convert them.

[haughty lagoon]

a good hunt

[neat valley]

I wonder how to do that

They're still bidding on gaming tag slot 1 and I got gaming tag slot 2 so I'm good

My stomach is killing me

[haughty lagoon]

You can create multiple ads and then pick them specifically for slot 2 placements.
Then you can change the second ad.

haha

[neat valley]

I'll ask Xiuh how to do that, I had no idea

Fun tag I overpaid so not gonna do that next time
Music overpaid not gonna do that either
League of Legends overpaid
Gaming slot 2 was overpaid

Overall I'm 2 bucks below total budget so I'm good

They're still bidding on gaming tag slot 1

Yup not gonna touch that man, I'm luck they didn't take my critical bids

[cobalt hearth]

not win pay

[neat valley]

I’ve paid now

[neat valley]

how do bids work, because its asking me to pay after the outbids when i received no impressions

[neat valley]

Someone removed a bid

[neat valley]

Bids are up!!!! LET’S GO GUYS!

[willow spire]

Hi

[late spire]

my category w biggest impression has 0% ctr.... pain

[neat valley]

Same here, 100k impressions and 132 clicks, all good though; experimenting

[late spire]

[mortal forum]

What ctr do you guys usually get on relevant slots (ex Moderation for a moderation bot)? Ping on reply please

I've currently got 27% and last week I got 22%

[brittle carbon]

That's an extremely good CTR by industry standards 👀 average CTR on Google ads is about 7 - 11% on a good day

[neat valley]

13% to 36% are my relevant slots

[glass fox]

Hi how can I get a key

[candid lily]

That’s a good question

[haughty lagoon]

You can have second if u want. 💪

[neat valley]

I'm good with that, slot 1 stream is all yours

[haughty lagoon]

@glossy quiver took your musica bot spot, if you want slot 2 is completly free 👀

[glossy quiver]

[glossy quiver]

[haughty lagoon]

lmk if that's cool with you. If you send me your url I can put ur discord link in there. Happy bday

[glossy quiver]

WOAH

TYSM

[full spade]

didn't even know that tag existed

I shall be keeping that :>

[neat valley]

That was not a bad week at all, I didn't have an anxiety attack

I overbid on 3 slots that I won't be taking next week

I'm good

[glossy quiver]

[neat valley]

And now I'm being blackmailed so let's see how that goes

[glossy quiver]

[neat valley]

Always bad news on a Monday

[true palm]

I got all the slots i wanted but one

someone outbid me last sec

[glossy quiver]

i got gifted a slot

[true palm]

whoever this was im not mad just dissapointed

Thats a big wallet friend

[glossy quiver]

[frosty kindle]

This social tag auction is actually crazy

I know for a fact that like

Social is not worth this much

[hushed storm]

Damn, I got good slots lol

[true palm]

I have up on social

They were bidding too high

[frosty kindle]

I won it but

I don’t feel great about it

I’ve had social tag before

It’s not worth what I’m paying

[neat valley]

I got social tag slot 2 for 35 dollars, it was a steal

Disgalaxy outbid me pretty hard

[neat valley]

I did very well this week

[true palm]

Idk why he was bidding so much

[neat valley]

I finally decided to give up, he can have it, he can have the 3k impressions that he wanted on social 2

[true palm]

Damn anime slot 1 still bidding

[neat valley]

This is social slot 2 and I got 4k impressions for 35 bucks, Disgalaxy forgot to add a higher max budget, social slot 1 was 124 dollars for 3k impressions; forget that

[neat valley]

Not worth it for me

They all can have all those bids

[mortal crag]

[true palm]

124 is insane

is this it? Will eeb kingdom bow down?

weeb folds at 22.50

[neat valley]

It's finally done

People have no idea how much money this is

[true palm]

disgalaxy dropped quite a bit

[frosty kindle]

I know how much money I spent dw

Neither anime tag nor social tag is worth this much

[true palm]

I ahvent bid in like 3 weeks

[neat valley]

I spent 143 dollars total

[hushed storm]

show

[neat valley]

Look at the above post

[hushed storm]

Noice

[true palm]

Ah so your one the one who was outbidding me

[neat valley]

Which tags did you go for?

[true palm]

Search slot 1, Front Slot 2, Giveaway Slot 1, Giveaway Slot 2, Empty Slot 1, Empty Slot 2, Voting slot 1

XD i always see the void and now i know who

[neat valley]

I will renounce my future bids for those slots at the next auction and forever

My friend, I do apologize for the conflict and hope that you accept my apologies

[late spire]

i went hard on ads last week, but then discord paused my bot for verification. i played myself so hard gg

[raven cypress]

who is the owner of mee6

[late spire]

i like your bot website

[raven cypress]

thanks

[neat valley]

i only spent 21 usd for 6.7k impressions yet i worry that i might hit that 250 user limit (suspicious growth increases server limit from 100-250). i worry so much that i spent an hour coding in a hard maximum 7 servers per user lol

[late spire]

once you hit 75 servers, they open the application up, i would just apply as soon as they let you so you so you can get verified before you hit that many

[neat valley]

yeah but that still takes a while lol

[late spire]

yeah rip, online im reading could take up to 15 days

been about a week for me so far

wont be able to buy new ads until next week

[earnest slate]

Not related to auctions, but be prepared for longer waiting times. It took 2 months for me

[neat valley]

This was a very successful week of bidding

[late spire]

oh no 😢 that doesnt excite me lmao

[late spire]

what crazy categories you get this week

[neat valley]

oh no

gets denied
more waiting

[neat valley]

I got almost everything under the sun

[hushed storm]

Ads going live in 30 mins

[late spire]

killing it 😂

[neat valley]

I did well this week for sure

[candid lily]

misread it with "Im going live in 30 mins" lmao

[neat valley]

Oh lol no worries

[neat valley]

I hope to continue to get good slots at next to nothing

[late spire]

I'm going to have to start stealing your technique

jk lmao

[wild bobcat]

When will the ads go live?

[hushed storm]

#auctions-support

[wild bobcat]

It should have gone live, like 8 mins ago

[hushed storm]

I asked the same question

[neat valley]

The ads are live and bidding is also up again

Man I got charged hard this week for extra impressions

[hushed storm]

Rip good thing I have other bids XD

[glossy quiver]

oof

[vale crypt]

After reading about actions I am under the impression that if your bots ad gets more impressions than estimated i will be charged for the extra. Is it possible to disable this?

[glossy quiver]

no

[vale crypt]

So if I only want to spend $10 there is no guarantee that it won't cost more?

[glossy quiver]

pretty much but idk for sure, you can ask in #auctions-support

[neat valley]

[hushed storm]

[neat valley]

[hushed storm]

[neat valley]

I got 0 clicks on 1k impressions, all normal to me

[glossy quiver]

[earnest slate]

Looks like a bug to me

[oak whale]

There is a known bug where you somehow get clicks before actually being shown, its one we are investigating! Its a difficult one, we hope to have it resolved soon

[neat valley]

lol ok

[neat valley]

I saw that bug and started freaking out, but what can I do lol. It’s all good

[ornate lark]

Can't we claim the vote balance of DAO servers?

[candid lily]

DAOs function the same as servers, so yes you can

-credits

[lean whale]

Auction Credits

What are credits?

• If enough people vote for your bot or server per month, you have the ability to earn vote credits that you can then use for auctions.
• Don’t know what auctions is? See here to learn more and here to participate.
• These auction credits can be used to pay for any winning bids you may make.
• You CANNOT “withdraw” them for real money.

How does the system work?

• Each month, bot monthly votes reset (midnight UTC).
• If you get 100 votes on your bot in the month, you can redeem $15 worth of voting credits (note: you can’t redeem till you actually get 101 votes).
• Any vote after 100 will be worth $1 per 1000 votes (or $.001 per 1 vote).

How do I redeem them?

• At the end of the month, you will be eligible to redeem your credits (you redeem them on your bot or server's Votes page). You will have 30 days to redeem them before they expire.
• After you redeem them, you have 31 days to use them before they expire.

How do I use vote credits to pay for Auctions?
-When you pay for your winning bid, you can "Pay with Credits".
-If your payment cost is more than the amount of credits you have, make sure to apply the credits first and then pay the rest with the supported payment providers.

You can read more about using your vote credits in our vote credit support article.
You can read more about Auctions in our Auctions support articles.

[ornate lark]

but there's no option to do that

DAO have these options only

while servers have these options:

[candid lily]

guess it doesn't then, which I don't understand

https://feedback.top.gg

[mortal forum]

What's a DAO anyway? Ping on reply please

What's the different between a DAO and a Discord server?

[neat valley]

nothing really

[mortal forum]

What's your strategy?

[mortal forum]

Then what's the point in making a different category for it?

[neat valley]

no idea

something for web3 but tbh doesn’t seem special

[neat valley]

Brute force

[late spire]

bot approved. im ready to bid again.

time to steal all the slots

[neat valley]

You and me both

[late spire]

stay away from my bids xeno

[neat valley]

You bid on bots and I bid on servers

[late spire]

[neat valley]

Why Not right

[compact yarrow]

noted

ty

to bid or not to bid

whats the largest bid so far

from what i remember it was mee6 right

[earnest slate]

Depends on the tag

[late spire]

Is there an actual strategy behind bidding $100@$100?

[oak whale]

not really imo

But i don't know peoples brains

[late spire]

lol

[true palm]

damn gg to the winners

I was busy

And forgot to tebid

Oh well

Enjoy your slots this week

[neat valley]

Man oh man that was the fight of my life

This is my budget, do you people really think you can outbid me?

[neat valley]

It should be 100 @500

[half yoke]

sorry i took the Spotify listing

[neat valley]

I didn't need it

[half yoke]

sites down?

nevermind

[neat valley]

You got both slots for under a dollar, not bad at all

[half yoke]

right first week bidding

still new here

[neat valley]

So, both slots will cost you a little under a dollar if that

I only got 5 clicks last week with Spotify

[half yoke]

yeah this should be interesting to learn what preforms

[neat valley]

What all did you win?

[half yoke]

is there a easy way to check that?

[neat valley]

When you pay for the bids, so it's in the pay section

[half yoke]

oh i already paid

[neat valley]

How many slots do you estimate you got?

[half yoke]

8

[neat valley]

All servers right?

[half yoke]

yeah

[neat valley]

You did well, I can't wait to see

How your server grows

[half yoke]

Developer Tag - Slot 1 - server

[earnest slate]

So many e-mails!

[neat valley]

You did very well, Aesthetic tag is gonna be your best performer

[neat valley]

Same here

[earnest slate]

I do not get them, also no further direct messages :c

[neat valley]

Now that the bidding is over I can have my caffeine cause if I drink it before the bids I’ll have an anxiety attack

[dire pine]

[earnest slate]

You really do? I am just like "Okay, I lost, move on"

Or I am bidding for one slot lower

[neat valley]

I’ve got critical slots I need and sometimes need to bid very very high

[earnest slate]

I am not going above $30, working hard for my money!

[neat valley]

@earnest slate this is where my money comes from to bid

I work exceptionally hard too

[earnest slate]

I would never spend all my hard earned money for auctions to be fair... I always remind myself that it is just a platform and that I enjoy some growth from time to time

Always amazed how serious people auctions take! 😄

[neat valley]

I thought the same thing but growing my server is the priority

[earnest slate]

And you are all doing a great job here!

[neat valley]

Yup, picked up a second weekend job just to bid

[neat valley]

Thank you for your support

[earnest slate]

I just have my one spot that I want to bid on, you can take the rest!

[neat valley]

You don’t bid on servers do you?

[earnest slate]

No, just have my little support server that growths because of people being interested in how the bot works

[neat valley]

Did I happen to bid on any of your slots?

[earnest slate]

No, I just bid for bots

[past gulch]

yo I have 24 hours to make the payment, correct?

[oak whale]

from when auctions ended, yes

[past gulch]

Gotya, thanks!

[late spire]

mushroom can beat anyone. they stomped me out

[neat valley]

Slot 1 and 2?

[late spire]

slot 1, they got deep pockets

[neat valley]

I took mainly slot 2 this week. But yeah I work a second job to be able to bid and that’s my max budget

This is a hobby for me

[late spire]

gg same here. you got a solid strat too. are you profiting from the server at all?

[neat valley]

Not making a penny

If I do make money off of it then it’ll get reinvested and going back into the server

[agile wind]

They got $20M in funding so I don't think anyone here is able to compete, even mee6 doesn't spend that much on growth

[late spire]

oh damn fr? thats pretty insane. discord szn coming

how many discord bots get that much in funding?

[agile wind]

[late spire]

they are in palo alto gg

thats all i need to see
