Weird stuff has a tendency of converting very well, or tanking extremely hard! So a lot of us test some pretty funky campaigns, share some of your funkier stuff!
I was on this artistic photo site and saw a piece of digital art of this girl blowing a bubble which had a ton of views, i took the concept turned it into a dating campaign and ran it on Facebook but i couldn't get it to do any consistent positive ROI, so i tried running it privately on the site where i originally found the image and it did amazing (even though the CPMs weren't friendly)! I tried porting it over to other traffic sources but it didn't do nearly as well.
The most interesting part is I've used these images in other campaigns as well that have no relation to dating. Here's a couple of the gems from the initial campaign:




I tried this too, but they didn't like it:



^^ What is this 
1.5-1.8% CTR banners - experimental long copy
NM lol image isn't linking properly
I've gotten some really high clickthroughs using pictures of muslim girls getting naked. Also did the avatar thing, where you take normal pictures and make them look like Navi. Great for porno ads.
WTF?
What are you promoting with that? Some occult product? Game?
Worked so well even with no CTA?
Part of the idea is that it doesn't always need to look like an ad.
Don't get the wrong idea. I'm not a baller, 95% of what I try sucks 
I definitely see what your saying with it, what's Navi though?
Avatar the movie, Na'vi are the blue things that live on Pandora. Hugely popular movie, people had withdrawal symptoms after seeing it, had to go see it again: http://articles.cnn.com/2010-01-11/e...?_s=PM:SHOWBIZ

Come on Mr. Green, I want to see what happens when those David Lynch shaped wheels in your brain start spinning with some LSD marketing.
I ripped this image from a charity ad and have used it on and off for dating. It works insanely well in some countries.
She Needs A Boyfriend

^rofl
^^ That is terrible!!
i wish i could find it , but you guys remember the creative that had a picture of a lamp on it , said is this is a lamp or woman? , that shit backed out at a 3.00 epca on a $10.00 payout iq quiz offer for me and totaly rocked, think i ended up making a good xx,xxx on just that creative before it was shut down by the traffic sources (banner buys). i wish i could find it but i guess its on my desktop and im working on my laptop right now. im sure some of the veterans here know exactly what im talking about.

oh ya there it is, the infamous lamp girl, shit converted so well to .
