Question: if we click on the ads, do you get some kind of bonus or something?

just add the damn ad !
but no pop ups !

Incidentally, I think PW lets you choose a default image to advertise your own stuff when you are yet to get bidders. Just in case you missed the option.

And Jerk: Project Wonderful is pay-per-second, so alas no.

Well, cock. >(

Thank you, James May.

But, seriously, I think you’ll be surprised by how many people will want BCB merchandise. You guys are active on your forums, update regularly and have an absolutely awesome comic rolling on; I think your fanbase is pretty loyal.

Loyal fans + Good quality gear = $$$

Don’t worry, I won’t go fucking things up for you where I can help it.

Any chance for patches by the way? I’m just curious if there’s been any talk about it.

Great stuff, Souppy! No chance of pre-ordering the book, though? (Inevitable mayhem, I suppose.)

And good point re: the plain image. I’d forgotten how awful that “advertise here” thing looked.

Sweeeeeet, I can’t wait to buy some awsome stuff

Honestly I like ads on webcomics, especially for other webcomics. It’s why I am actively reading 73 of them right now.

Fair enough. I look forward to that day!

For now, I guess I’ll content myself with buying all your other stuff.

Point in case: The first ad I see is for a comic called underling, which I am now reading through the archives to see if I shall make it #74

Hmm. That ad is everywhere except atop threads. Anyone else getting this?

I just noticed the add ‘cause you pointed them, but it’s ok for me. I don’t really care that much.

Do whatever you have to in order to keep the site afloat. Spamming and kidnapping are probably the only things that will receive a negative response from the forum members.

Hah. I can’t even see the ads. I looked at the main page and scoured it and thought, “What the fuck is Souppy talking about?” Then realized my orgasmically effective ad-blocker is still turned on.

Hee. Thanks, Souppy.

Project Wonderful. Mission: Impossible.

Hahahaha~ That Omake Theater ad is perfect for this site.

Hoy, you think tower ads would be better?

@Kaxbe i kind of agree with that, but it will slightly damage the image of the webpage, so i think that the add at the top of the webpage it’s cool. Go with all the advertise banners SuitCase!!, and if you need some testing arround here and there, i kinda be helpful with that

I’ll follow the pre-order. I want a copy of it too!

I literally cringed when I saw the Omake Theater advert atop my favourite website. But money is money. I guess…

EDIT: Double ninja’d. Wow. But I think the single leaderboard looks better than two towers. Having all three… would be slowing, I guess. And so kinda annoying.

As long as it doesn’t impact the loading speed of the site, I’m cool with it. I always liked the home page for its quick simplicity.

I generally don’t care if there are ads on a site. As long as they’re not pop up ads (even though i have firefox) because they are very annoying, especially the explosm kind where they open a completely new window. I actually like ads for other comics, that’s how i found BCB and about 15 other comics.

True. And since that’s what we’re getting, I guess I won’t complain too hard. And after all, it should reduce the amounts that Tae and Souppy have to spend to keep producing BCB.

With all that said… when I first came to site a month or two back, it was still a breath of fresh air to see a home-designed webcomic with no ads. But times change. “Ah… the days of my youth… like the scent of fresh lemon…” you see.

It was gonna happen, but the ad isn’t that distracting.
The web design on 2kinds works around a small comic page and room for potential ads.
Slightly damned also has a rather nice design, though from my view it could be better.

As for where the ad is now, I’m fine with it but I think it clashes with the webpage.
Perhaps after you get this sorted you can give the ad space a border.

I’ve already voiced my opinion on this.
I don’t mind ads in the slightest, I’m just happy you can make money doing something you love.

Can anyone put an ad there? Or does it have to be a webcomic? Also, how much does it cost to have the ad there for a day?

good luck with the $$$

I love the ad at the bottom of the screen.

“Your ad here, right now: $0” and it hasn’t been taken.

I’d love to see Tae making a living from her webcomic(s)! I always feel a little awkward now when I go past Subway stores - kinda bothers me that my favourite artist and writer on the ‘net has to work long shifts in one. :-/

I support this idea if it works. She should have a job doing what she’s happy with. No one has to have the best job in the world to enjoy it.

Suitcase
Feel free to add 20 ads on the site if you want to.
Long as there are no pop-ups I’m fine

I give it an all clear for IE users.

All clear for Firefox. Literally. Can’t see a single one.

i got this happening

Works fine on Opera. These ones are a little more ugly than the PW ones… How much do they boost the income by out of curiosity?

Kinda messed your layout in firefoxeh.
Oh and everything else is fine though.

Kind of crowding on my Firefox because I don’t know how to get Adblock. :

AdBlock.

Uh. Do you have any choice over which ads you’re being served? Somehow I doubt weight loss techniques that require just “1 Anicent Rule” [sic], and I’d kinda prefer to see honest ads on BCB.

Nice to see you trying to get Tae some real money from here, though.

Can’t post a picture, but they look a bit out of place on the mobile version. Kinda looks like:

Comments

Banner ad

Square ad

Reply box

They don’t fit nearly as nicely on the page from a visual standpoint as the other ads; the other ads look like they were always meant to be here, whereas these look like more of an afterthought.

That being said, its also easy not to see them at all if you don’t comment on stuff, and they don’t look annoying so much as a little out of place.
