Once again, I have the great joy and honor of thank you, the members of Webcomics.com, for another amazing year of independent comics on the Web.
It’s impossible to add up the value of the shared information, insight and perspective that has taken place on this site. Thank you for your participation on the site posts. Thank you for launching and advancing discussion in the Private Forum. And thank you for your passionate-but-civil discussions in the critiques and Hot Seats.
When I started this site in 2009, I had a vision for the potential that a site like this could have. And, with your help, Webcomics.com has become all of that and more.

PulsePoint (nee ContexWeb, nee Adsdaq) has released their top five tips for improving you ad sales in 2012. I disagree strongly with one of them, so I’m presenting their top four. Even if you don’t use PulsePoint, these may be some good options to keep in mind for whichever ad-service you use.

This summer, I was asked to make a fictional pitch to the Big Two comics publishers. Instead of asking to be involved in their print projects, I encouraged them to put a greater effort into their Web presence.
Brad Guigar, who publishes the corporate supervillain webcomic Evil Inc., recommends that daily webcomics be the focal point of Marvel and DC’s websites. After all, webcartoonists have a proven track record of updating their sites with regular content and attracting a large, consistent audience. And the webcomics could be paired with digital downloads, giving readers the opportunity to buy comics as they stop in for their daily dose of free fun.
So I listened with keen interest when Jim Demonakos approached me a few weeks later and asked me if I’d be interested in working on a comic that would be used on the Web site for his comic convention, Emerald City Comicon.

It’s been one of the immutable expectations of webcomics: Never break your schedule. Most of us, as webcartoonists, strive to foster a habit of daily Web-site visits in our readers. And “going dark” — and/or missing updates — threaten to break those habits.
But it may be time to re-think this one — especially when it comes to the holidays.

So, earlier this week, Scott and I posted an reaction on the PVP site to a contest in which the Grand Prize was placement on GoComics.com (and all of the ad revenue generated there) and an electronic-book-publishing contract. Our message included an offer to work in a consultation capacity with any syndicate or syndicated cartoonist if they’d like to bring their Web strategy up-to-date.
I have to admit, the response caught me off-guard. The focus seemed to be fixed, laser-like, on the tone of the piece, and not on the message that was being delivered. Real business was not done in such a manner, we were scolded. Scott’s being an a-hole, said others. He’s gloating over the decline of print comics.

Recently, Google Analytics has begun rolling out a new functionality: Real Time stats.
If you don’t see it as part of your Analytics package, don’t panic. This is a beta function, so all publishers may not be set up yet.
If you do have it, you’ll attest that it’s breathtaking.

At the beginning of the year, I made a few predictions. Let’s see how close I came.
