Comicrank is good if only for the stats. I don’t get really any traffic from them and I don’t think they get a lot of traffic themselves but they use a different algorithm that counts readers (returning traffic) instead of just hits. This gives you a more accurate understanding of your audience.

[...] earlier this year, Jason Brubaker blogged about the effectiveness of different webcomic toplists. I’ve been having a hard time even finding any, so his list is a good starting point. [...]

I do have to agree that TWC is one of the most fantastic communities for advertising yourself. I took part in one of their campaigns in May and I got a free 150 000 impressions total in various places, I was dumfounded as to how many uniques I was hitting. I’m sure in the future I will be purchasing more advertising and utilizing TWC better. Belfy was nice until a temporary Hiatus took place on my comic, then that kind of fell out on me. However the people who did subsribe when I first joined still check out the site regularily. I also find Comixpedia links becoming more relevent- however that has only been a recent development. I believe that in order for that to be really useful you would have to write some very compelling / relevent information to entice and sell yourself to your audience. It’s only since I made some major edits to this that I’ve been getting hits from here.

However! The reason I wanted to comment was on what you wrote on the Motivational Books, I am unsure of what you have all read, but I strongly believe in these type of books if you are venturing out on your own to accomplish something that may seem daunting in the beginning, but your very being needs to accomplish in your life time. I think it is a vital way for people running their own show to not only stay positive and maintain an effecient level head, but for your Dreams & goals, and life in general. I’ve only been reading these kind of things for a year now, but it’s really changed my outlook on how I want to control my life. As I said prior I do not know all that you have read, but I suggest The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson :)

Thank you for this wondeful blog, not only has it strengthened the things I have learned over the past year, you’ve taught me some new things on how to be more effecient!

Also, thought you'd appreciate knowing how I got here. I followed a link I found voting for Fey Winds on TWC — it was on the voting page.

Thanks for your thoughts. I’m kinda in the same train of thought about the banner ads having good art to sell someone on a click. It’s really hard to convey much else in such a limited pace or time. The banner ads at TWC are really effective it seems. I’ve been able to get more visitors from that site that almost anywhere else.

I found this comic through the skyscraper banner at TWC and I've clicked on one or two of them… I click based on art, read enough to know if I like the story, and then either become a regular reader (and voter) or not. There are a few that I don't read regularly but check up on them every several months.

Many of the comics I've found though were through "pimpings" in the comics by other artists: How I found The Zombie Hunters, the Meek, and String Theory.

++ for the "same vibe" thing, but that goes at least two ways: same art style, or same story genre (some people read all art styles about vampires or furries, while others read all different stories so long as their drawn like marvel). But, of the comics whose ads I've clicked (as someone who reads about 10 comics regularly, not a bazillion), it was for the art, because there's little about the story to be told in a banner ad.

Now this is the kind of info we all need to hear. Thanks so informing me of this. I'll make a note of it on the list.
