That's correct, Adsense is the publisher side, adwords, the advertiser side. Edited my post

- Gamespot.com
- IGN.com
- Gamefaqs.com

Dunno if these actually allow you to advertise your own stuff, but they are BIG. Everyone goes to there 3. Or should go

As for other places...

- Any oriental big website (especially if it has gambling on it) just need to speak the £§£@£€`§€£§€ language.

- Big forums where young people around 25 gather to speak about games.

- Resource websites for games, like www.gamefaqs.com

I think the target should be:

- 18-50 yrs old
-Gamers
- Fondness for an avatar
- Gambling and social personality

Its hard to discover the places where to advertise, but im sure within these parameters, something will show up.

Hope you find what you are looking for...

PR0N sites!

Nah, only kidding.
You want to target a narrow group of RPG interested ppl, I assume... Since that will probably get you the most ROI.

I agree with those who suggested mmorpg and similar sites.

BUT following your own ambitions to attract people from the music- and art scene, you might want to consider targeting these markeds as well. I have no idea where you should do that, though

Yes, my first thought too.

I see many google ad's here for other mmorpg's so how about taking over those positions? Advertise on forums of other games.

Many other game-review sites arround to avertise on. Several already mentioned. Always a source of finding new games, atleast for me.

You could also advertise on other "media" sites like sites of popular tv channels, webradio sites, etc. Maybe even just on popular chat sites. Those usually has users that look at the screen for a longer period of time, with longer banner display times.

As for the targeted audience, I assume you guys can get accurate info about what the "best" (aka most paying) audience is for EU.

Hmm.. thinking about what seems to be your best target audience... Male, somewhat tech savy, young adult... hmm...

hook up with wireless access point providers and get them to display your advert - link to your website when a user registers for the service

airports globally - trains in the uk - pubs clubs around the world have these ;P

setup Entropia Universe Cafe's in major cities around the globe where you can pop in and sample the game ;P

you have specially created avatars that then run round and cant dump stuff in the TT's or somink
