As for me, I dislike Google, so I don't like this option))
May be it's possible to substitute it with Reddit Ads?
For many years I work in online marketing and I remember from past experience, CPC in Reddit was lower and more efficient for some campaigns than Facebook and Google Adwords.
Also I think it's better to make post "Promoted" on Steemit. Steem or SBD can be bought with GRC and this way we'll support Steemit social network. I didn't try it on a big scale, though.
Also recently I posted in Bitcointalks thread, will be visiting it from time to time and keep conversation there!
Also posted some retweets from my Twitter (https://twitter.com/flodner) it has 11K+ followers
Hello @flodner, thank you for your feedback and sorry for not replying sooner.
Yes, we have tried Reddit ads twice so far, with mediocre results. CPC turned out to be about the same as for AdWords:

Promoting an article was a nice stunt while @promoted bot was active, it provided a nice upvote afterwards. But it seems to be inactive now and personally, I don't browse Promoted section ever. I still promote Gridcoin's most popular articles here, but only with 1 SBD or so, cause I don't think it's very efficient.
Following you on Twitter now, that's an impressive follower base. If you could retweet some of our tweets from time to time, it would surely expand our reach there.

Yes, it's rather high CPC on Reddit, a while ago I had something like 0.05 CPC, but if was completely another niche (Books).
Followed you on Twitter too, will retweet from time to time Gridcoin and your tweets.
Also may be will join Cryptocurrencytalk forum a bit later
