Title: Just noticed better search hits on AH.
Post by: bustr on August 02, 2016, 05:00:30 PM
I'm having to use my wife's laptop while waiting for a new mother board. Her browsers, IE and FireFox don't have my favorites linked in them. So I search across yahoo, google and bing for hitech or aces high. The game web site is showing up now at the top of the search returns.

It appears Hitech is quietly taking our concerns to heart.

Put in general stuff like WW2 online game, ww2 flight sim, and so on, and Aces High is on the front page.  As an aside, it always amazed me how many guys sounded off here over the years about seeing an AH commercial and that's what got them here.  I'd never seen one on tv - ever.  A combination of not being in the USA and not watching much TV other than history stuff - and that all online mainly = not seeing the adds.  Apparently they did work, and online search priority is a really important part.

The Military channel had commercials some years ago. I still see it on stuff I recorded from back then.  :)

Who the hell searches "hitech" on their internet explorer? I know not one person my age that would search that.

The last media blitz AH did a few years ago was in Canada, their commercial was shown during one of those history shows on aces.  Don't think that blitz was as successful as previous ones, don't recall getting many, if any, new players as a result of the Canadian media blitz.

Ack-Ack, the blitz didn't work as well because the 6 of us already play the game.   lol

I did see those later commercials here in Canada, it was actually a pretty well done series on various WW2 pilots, but also saw HT's post about gaining nothing from those adds.  I'd love to see the stats for those programs in terms of viewers, Canadian only history telecasts aren't known for massive numbers of viewers in the first place, which would be the first issue, even though it was targeted at a crowd that you would think would be most interested in a ww2 flight sim.

I am thinking HT should change the TAG to hitech_bikinis, would that help JO?   :D

I saw no improvement, I use chrome, HTC was not listed.  Saw war birds a lot and war thunder but no HTC.
