Neopets Advertising

[Eileen]

Have a few extra accounts you want to get rid of? Well, go ahead and advertise on Neopets! There are 4 ways you can do this, one of which involves no rule-breaking on your part and the other three which will get you suspended due to neo's superfilters.

1. Create a board with the link to the site and bump to death. It gives you more bumps if you post the plot. There's a post-by-post code below for this. Less effective, but it works.

2. Create a board, bump to death, and post a link to that board on other boards. You get free bumping by people who complain, and more visitors. I've found it takes a while for neo to catch you doing this.

3. Simply post the link to the site on other boards. Don't hang around; you'll get your face virtually bashed in. Believe it or not, there is technique to this too. Avoid boards with titles that say semi-lit or chatplay, or with spelling and grammar mistakes. Also avoid OnexOnes. You want to either post on a board with very few posts (so yours will be on the first page and everyone who visits the board will see it) or very, very many posts (maybe read some of the role playing) to guarantee many viewers. They just may not always be happy...[/font]

4. Put the banner on your lookup, with a link to the current Fairy Past petpage. That'll just get the person who owns the current pet (most of the time me, or if Emi lets me, her) suspended, so it's pretty safe. The bad part is that the account suspended generally has everything wiped clean, including that petpage - but hey, no pain, no gain.[/font]

POST-BY-POST CODE FOR NEOBOARDS
I'm working on it. Character-counting is exhausting.

For those lazy people like me, we create a title for the board generally with the board name, genre, and the fact that it is a forum. Like so: Fairy Past - Modern Fantasy - F.o.r.u.m.

If you feel like being creative something like, "Before the wings are then stripped bare," would also work.

Some people are a little slow, so if you feel like repeating the fact that you've got a forum, that's also good.

e.g. Yes, note that this is a forum, so do not ask if it's being hosted here. Any questions or comments may be asked here or in the forum cbox. Plot coming soon.

Then, if you don't feel like posting the entire plot (here is where the laziness comes in) you do a concise version. If you can't be bothered to think one up, something like this will do:

Long ago, there was magic on Earth, in the form of fairies. The Spirit Fairy sorted them into elements at birth, and a council of one representative from each element was the heart of their kingdom. But soon, the Spirit Fairies grew tired of sorting and granting gifts, and separated into light and dark, thus starting a war that ended with magic being drained from Earth. The angels were banished to the Heavens, demons to the Underworld.

Now, the descendants of the council are beginning to show signs of magical phenomena; growing wings, creating balls of fire, breathing underwater. The demons and angels are fighting to break free of their prisons to claim the Earth, each for their own reasons, and the descendants must rise to fight. What will our heroes do?

Then, post a link. Things like flyingfay.proboards82.com will work. Or if you're paranoid, 'flyingfay(dot)proboards82(dot)com' or anything like that would be safe as well. Note that advertising almost always results in a warning or suspension. Neopets is getting smarter. =/

You can then bump using lyrics, repetitively posting the link, saying "*bump*" or just putting dots (...)

Sometimes, as Neopets will have a limit of how many posts one account can make, if you have another browser (Firefox, Opera, Explorer, Safari) and another account, you can spam twice as fast without barriers. If you post the link using both accounts, however, I'll assume both will be suspended.

As you can see, some of us take spamming very seriously.[/font]
