Big News In Israel - We Now Have Ads On Arutz 7!

[shimon]

Not everyone can see the ad. It depends upon your browser settings.

So at first, I thought we made a mistake in placing this expensive ad.

But we have received a very strong response from those who can see the ad. Most people have no problem seeing the ad or clicking onto the site. Next week, those who click on the ad will not go to the Hebrew home page, but will instead reach a special opening page in which they see a brief video that I prepared urging them to join us. Under the video, they will be able to click to join or to click to see the home page if they want to browse some more. The video will start playing automatically when they click on our ad, and it is 3 minutes and 48 seconds long. We will show it to everyone on our English forum when it is all set up.

In my opinion, so far this is a success. We are getting about 10 new members a day from the ad, and thousands more are coming to the site and may join later. We have never received such a strong response to advertising before. But that is only for the first two days. Who knows what will happen after a week or a month? And the ad is very expensive for us. We may not be able to run it continuously.

sounds great keep up the good work

[Chaim Ben Pesach]

If we had a few million dollars, we would advertise like this on Yediot Aharonot and Maariv, Israel's two biggest newspapers. About 1.5 million individual Israelis visit those sites every day. We could reach the majority of Israelis with an extensive ad campaign. And if that happened, within a year we would have tens of thousands of members making us a mass movement.

Congrats Chaim, I hope it works out fine.
After so many years of galut I think it's about time for you to go and save your country.

We will see what happens. But right now, one thing is clear: if we could advertise extensively, we would become a mass movement very quickly. The response to our ad is much stronger than the response the other ads on Arutz 7 are receiving. But it may be that it is just for the first two days. We'll find out. But so far, I am surprised by the strong numbers.

Excellent. Glad it is going well. Onward and forward.

[The Shadow]

Time will tell how long we should keep advertising on Arutz Sheva.  If we stop getting results from it, or if results decrease dramatically, then we need to advertise else where.  ABC!

[q_q_]

for anybody that cannot see the ad.

watch the banners at the top.

(I am guessing that clicking them doesn`t cost us, right?!)
click them to see if they are ours. ours has yellow text on a black background, with pics of arab terrorists.
refresh the screen, e.g. F5 if using internet explorer. That will refresh the banners incase it is showing a different one.

[Kahane-Was-Right BT]

Translation:
(first frame): Should we give an independent state in Eretz Yisrael to these murderers ?

(second): The fake right (wing) in Israel doesn't protect our country.

(third): The fake right has no solution.

(forth and final): The real right (Hayamin Haamiti) has a solution. all the the details here.

Brilliant.  Baruch Hashem.  What a great step forward.  Hazak ubaruch!

[takebackourtemple]

Does anyone have a link to the ad?

[Ehud]

I kept refreshing the webpage, looking for it on the right along with the smaller ads, but it was at the top the whole time.  I didn't think that it would be such a big, bold, professional ad.  Shlomo did a really fantastic job!  This ad is sure to attract a bunch of people.  For anyone who hasn't seen the ad yet, I took a screenshot, which doesn't capture how good the ad is because it's a moving picture ad with multiple pictures and multiple lines of text. 

Great work, Chaim and Shlomo!

I would advise to stop clicking on them. This will skew the numbers. Chaim must know what he is really paying for.

An ad campaign is a hard thing to predict and costs a lot of money.  I am glad this one is doing well.

If all of us spent 10 minutes a day commenting on liveleak videos, posting JTF videos on youtube and liveleak, and posting links to the forum on other forums then we could be just as successful and it would not cost us a penny.

We have over 1400 English speaking members and at least 100 of us are super active. We need to be able to utilize our active members better. Leaving comments on this board is not good enough. Spreading the word and financial donations are musts.

[Dan]

I still haven't seen it... I tried ever since this morning!

Its there dan. It doesn't say jtf.org if thats what you are looking for. In Chaims second post in ths thread he explains hwo to see it.

OK, thanks DWI! 
 I saw it  a number of times then, I just didn't realize that it was ours... Cool!

Im glad you found it dan.

I am really thrilled to hear that this is working out and that jtf is getting all this new traffic. We need this to work fast.

[DownwithIslam]

The ad is now being displayed on the very top of the homepage. I saw it the first time I went to that site tonight.

[MasterWolf1]

This is wonderful

great point..

if anybody is curious as to where the banner leads. Don't click it..  For reason mentioned above.
It leads here
http://hayamin.org/
the hebrew jtf site.

[Chaim Ben Pesach]

I moved this thread back here because I believe that all of our great members will want to know about this and comment on it.

[Zvulun Ben Moshe]

Chaim,

As I could see, both links under your video lead to the same registration page.

I would link the second link to your channel at Flix.

[Zvulun Ben Moshe]

I would also add a menu with Rabbi Kahane's videos on either side of the screen.

[Zvulun Ben Moshe]

I would also decorate the side to the left of you video with a picture of the map of USA with the number of JTF members in bold and make it linkable to jtf.org.

On the right side, I would put the map of Israel with the number of members there and make it linkable to Hayamin.org.

[Zvulun Ben Moshe]

As for the text, I would say:

Free Arabs from the Israeli prison.
Support the law of return of Arabs to their homeland.

[MarZutra]

Mazel tov achi.  Very good to see.  I hope and pray that something good comes of it.  It must be a great expense but well worth it.  Perhaps, the same can be done with those Bolshevik sites as well.  Actually, a good idea might be to document your trying to place an advert, get denied and then sue these sites for violations of your human rights and your right to free speech censorship...

[Zvulun Ben Moshe]

Another option:

Show pictures of Gaza before and after.

And then say: If we act before, there will be no after.

[Shlomo]

Thank you! I was hoping it would turn out good. Those are my first flash animations so I'm hoping I can do much better next time. You guys really made my whole week!

If you have any problems with the ads in any way, please post what browser (and version if possible) you are using.

I know some of the pictures were a little fuzzy. We did the best we could with the small images we had. Those were common pictures in the media that had to be blown up a bit to fit in the ad space correctly. The bigger picture we start with, the better it's going to look in the ad.

THANK YOU to the ideas in the thread already posted! We really need your ideas on future ads and this helps a LOT. This is a way you could really help JTF.

Here's what we need and you can help with any or all of these:

• Text that tells a story - much like a tiny documentary
• 3, 4, or more (larger is better) pictures that help convey the message
• Possible ideas about a "logo" for the Hebrew forum (remember that the logo must be Hebrew but any ideas may still help greatly)

Remember that we have to follow a few guidelines with Arutz 7 to protect them since they are in Israel. We don't want too much blood or gore and it's a legal issue there to have a picture of the great Rabbi Kahane or the Kahane fist in the ad. Trust me when I say that both Chaim and I REALLY wanted a picture of Rabbi Kahane in the ad.

This is a way to get your own ideas out there on a major advertising campaign and, at the same time, help JTF immensely. Your ideas could be the next JTF advertisement!

Please get those ideas rolling...

[Еврей]

Keep up the good work Shlomo!

Anyway... I feel that maybe it's better not to have the Kahane fist, or Rabbi Kahane in the advertisement.

My reasoning:
To let people who thought they had no common ideas with Kahane,
realize that they really are kahanists!

Just a thought....
