That is a good question! According to the posts, comments, and user account data it seems the ads have already brought tens of thousands of users to sign up given the large amount that sign up versus the small percentage of those that do who post about where they found out about Steem and remember to tag me.
If I had access to a Facebook conversion tracking pixel from Steemit that would track actual sign ups, it would help a lot because right now as far as I know there is no way for anyone to track signups from ads. Thank you for helping me see that I need to ask for this in my growth proposal because Facebook can optimize the ads much better if they know when a click leads to a registration.
I send them to my profile for a consistent experience that starts with my ad and goes to my profile. I was considering the trending page or the sign up page directly but both of those bring problems up with consistency. What if Steem chances the sign up page link? What if the trending page has a really offensive article? Using my profile page gives me control over the end experience and if I get the growth proposal funding, I will collaborate with other authors to send users to their page instead. I think sending to a specific person's page makes a much bigger impression than throwing them in the Steem interface without that focus.
ah yes! brilliant. i understand. why not direct them to a post with everything they need to do then on your profile too? even better! thanks for answering jerry, love ya passion for progress.
@teamhumble you're welcome and I appreciate you helping me stay humble in realizing there are ups and downs to each strategy I use with none being "right" or "best"!
