does the cost of advertising / or a spot on the radio have anything to do with wattage?
or rather, coverage area? I think it would be more cost efficient to target the bigger stations... like 97.9 WCPRrocks... and 97.5 WABB - at least down here on the coast...

Well, only one person has donated, and I still have that $$ available. Radio spots have gone up since the last time I checked.. but, if we can get the $$ together I'm sure Michael could work us a deal at Rock 93.9.
Since the economy is so funked right now, I'm sure they are hurting to cut deals at the radio station!

Ok ladies and gents. The last time I asked for donations we collected $124.42. So far the Adwords campaign has been running since March 3rd, here are the stats to date:
Clicks: 100
Impressions: 380,631
Click through rate: 0.02%
Average cost per click: $0.48
Total cost up to June 3rd: $48.38
Average position: 3.8
There is a current balance of $15.85 but it won't be billed until it reaches $50. So at this point in time, excluding the balance, there is $94 left from donations.
Thanks guys! If we can get an added $200 or so I'll look into the radio ad campaign again. Last time I looked, all the prices had sky rocketed 
Oh, I forgot to mention, we have had at least 6 people sign up from those 100 clicks. Not bad IMO.

Well ladies and gents, the donated monies has ran out. I was able to stretch it out quite a bit! March 3rd till today, November 11th, that's not bad at all!
Here are the stats:
Clicks 381
Impressions 402,085
Feel free to donate again, the more donations, the more I can bump the daily advertising on Google. 
Click me to donate to the advertising cause!
On this last campaign, I had the daily max set to $1.00 of spending. Depending on the amount of donations we get this time, I'm wanting to increase that to $2.00 per day of spending. If we get anywhere close to the response as our last donation drive, that should last us 4 months.

So far, we have had a GREAT response to our donation request!
Keep them coming, the more we get the better exposure we can get to this site. And no, I'm not pocketing the $$, lol.

I would like to say thank you to everyone that has donated! The amount we received this time was WAY over what I had expected and it will go to good use. Within the next week or so I will turn the advertising campaign back on and we'll see if we get more exposure with the new daily limit.
Thanks again everyone! And if you haven't donated and still want to, feel free to, it will be added to the existing fund.
