The "Let's Promote ZU" Competition!

As you may know, after some unfortunate mishaps with Google, Zelda Universe's traffic has been at an all time low, and Jason has been forced to integrate multiple ads in order to be able to afford to keep this place running.

But is there something you, the regular user, can do to help? In fact, yes there is! You can help to spread the news of ZU all over the internet. It might be linking to it in an Advertising board somewhere, or linking it in your blog, or simply mentioning it in your signature at another site, but they will all help ZU's traffic and help ZU stay up. If you need a nice image to link to ZU with, we have a variety of banners on our Link to Us page.

"But surely my contribution won't be that helpful", you cry! Let me tell you a story about something that happened to me earlier this week. On a World of Warcraft realm forum, I referred to Zelda Universe and its news in a discussion on the release of a new Wii Zelda. The next day, Jason was confused (but happy) to find that the daily traffic had increased by around 700 visitors.

So here's how this competition is going to work. When you successfully advertise ZU at a particular site, show us the link to that page in this thread (try to keep the links all in one post). Whoever manages to spread the news of ZU at the most different websites by the end of September will be awarded with a free Virtual Console game, or a free ZU Shirt of their choice. I will buy it for them.

Do be warned though that if we find that you are advertising in a part of a website that is against their rules, or just making spam posts about ZU in random topics like an adbot, we will not count that particular advertisement towards your score. The aim here is not to harass other websites.

Have fun! :3

I don't visit too many other forums and such, but I'll try to spread the word somehow...

All of my friends know I go here and half of them listen to the podcast, do I win?

This is basically my only online community, so I'm a bit boned as far as this is concerned. I could order people at my school to join

Edit: Wait, we have T-Shirts?

I can always count ZU posters at your school in real life if you screenshot them P:

Don't you mean "take photos of them"?

I could do what a certain someone did for an old site I belonged to- he wrote the URL all over desks >_>

But yeah, maybe a sneaky poster here and there XD

Don't you mean "take photos of them"?

SCREENSHOTS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN

Actually, Cody, it's "pics or it didn't happen". Besides, how exactly do you take a screenshot of something that isn't on the computer?

IT WAS A JOKE GOODNESS

xD

Do we still get "points" if we make our friends put links on their blogs? ^___^

If you can prove that you made them put it there P:

like this?

Okey-doke! ^^


...WHA!? o_______o You put it on 4chan!? .______.

So it's on 4chan? I'll start backing up my pm's...

Ow I got the ad on Destructiod's main page, sort of

Invite everyone you know on facebook to the facebook group ;D

Maybe you should get very simple T-shirts printed that just have the URL on it.

That would be cheap, wouldn't it? A $5 shirt? And we could post photos of us wearing it in different locations to rack up promote-ZU points.

How to promote ZU:

1. Buy $5 Fruit of the loom T Shirt and Puffy Paint
2. Write www. zeldauniverse. net on both sides
3. ???
4. PROFIT!

a VC game, duh!

Actually, I was thinking about going to one of those embroidery places. You can bring in anything you want (I did it to a bag once... and a letterman's jacket) and get them to embroider it.
