Hey Guys,

I found a nice piece of software that can help boost the traffic you get to your website.

Its a URL Harvester / Serp Scraper which comes with its own Referral Faker so basically you Serp all the URLs from one of the included Search Engines or you can add a custom one, and then send fake hits leaving your own website or domain as a foot print in peoples traffic stats.

People are usually pretty curious to where they traffic comes from, so they are bound to click the foot print you left in their sites and you end up with more traffic and potiental new customers.

Anyway the website is trafficfaker.com, you can read other peoples testimonials / few some video clips of it in action and also check out their screenshots. For $29USD I highly recommend this as it does the same job if not better then the $99USD+ tools

[...] 5) Firestorm vol. 4 #14-22, #28-32. This one sold tons better than Monolith through its whole run. The character is going to get a bigger role on one of the team books very soon, so I can see renewed interest. [...]

[...] I have to say, these past few days have been rather surreal, even for a guy who spends much of his free time obsessing over corporate-owned superheroes. If DC really did plan all of this a year ago, I give it credit for keeping everything under wraps so well. Still, it’s hard not to see the rapid-fire weekend announcements — FMA cancelled! The Black Flash claims Bart! Waid returns! — collectively as a massive act of contrition. Plans notwithstanding, I feel pretty confident in saying that no one at DC wanted FMA to go from the 120,000 copies issue #1 sold a year ago to the 47,800 #12 moved in May. If Bart’s title had kept its numbers high, I doubt we’d have heard a peep about Waid, All-Flash, etc. [...]

Dear DC:
I like Superman as a character. I am also a fan of Kurt Busiek and Geoff Johns as writers. Yet I am not buying any of the “monthly” Superman comics, because the scheduling is such a train wreck and I can’t make heads or tails out of what is coming out when. Please get your s*** together as I would like to give you my money. Thank you in advance.

“They’re essential partners. I was warmed to read your statement – “Quite possibly, RUSH CITY could be an inspired comic book with great storytelling.” – because it’s leagues away from “a glorified advert you’re meant to pay money for” and was my whole point in posting originally.”

Well, EVERY book I comment on could, in theory, be a great, well-told comic (or, just as easily, a crappy, badly-told one, of course), so it seems moot to point it out each and every time. The more significant point, in this case, is that the book happens to be a glorified advert.

RUSH would have made a great free comic and I bet TONS of people would have read it- it would have been cool to see if comics could use the same free advertising model that network TV uses.

I also have to second Sphinx Magoo’s comment about Wildstorm moving to Euro format stuff. It would be neat experiment and I could easily Elephantmen fitting into it. Frankly, given Image’s back end deal (great for a break out hit but not so great for books needing a little more marketing support and creators seeking financial stability) I find it a little surprising that other companies (especially Vertigo and Wildstorm) aren’t “stealing” the top indy books from Image.

Tucker :
I was using Marc’s “paid for by” as my example. Did GM produce
‘Rush City’? No, DC did. GM paid for it. Sorry about the craw-sticking. And thanks for your permission for me to continue arguing with Marc. You’re ever-so gracious. ‘Crass Sentimentalism’ would be a great name for an album.

Marc:
You misinterpreted me. I don’t see any contradiction between advertising and creative storytelling. They’re essential partners. I was warmed to read your statement – “Quite possibly, RUSH CITY could be an inspired comic book with great storytelling.” – because it’s leagues away from “a glorified advert you’re meant to pay money for” and was my whole point in posting originally. Thanks.

Save BLUE BEETLE! Lawsy!

Bearing this in mind, a Superman comic by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely which doesn’t manage to crack the Top 20 can’t exactly be rated as a success.

No offense, but you have GOT to be kidding. If 90+ K in sales is really a “disaster,” the American comics industry must be wayyyyyyyy healthier than I’ve been hearing for, I dunno, like at least a decade. I’m sure DC would be quite pleased if more of their titles were to bomb in a similar fashion.

I agree with Marc. It’s a comic book commissioned for the primary purpose of advertising a car by way of product-placement; therefore it’s an advert. Even if it’s an advert that happens to take the form of a good story, it’s still an advert. (And I wouldn’t know; I haven’t read it.)

I’m not remotely surprised that the book has failed. It featured no established or popular characters, it was a miniseries on the fringes of the DC Universe, and the only thing most people knew about it was that it had been commissioned as a product placement exercise. It’s hardly surprising that it didn’t sell very well. I can’t imagine why anyone ever thought it would, to be honest.

“So, by your logic, if Ford sponsors a commercial-free airing of ‘Schindler’s List’, then ‘Schindler’s List’ is an advertisement for Ford.”

Erm, as far as I know, the Ford Motor Company did not approach Spielberg to make SCHINDLER’S LIST as a part of their promotional campaign for the Mondeo.

“I never said ‘Rush City’ wasn’t an advetisement, I said it was “more than” an advertisement.”

You seem to see an inherent contradiction between the notions of advertising and creative storytelling. Well, I don’t.

Quite possibly, RUSH CITY could be an inspired comic book with great storytelling. That doesn’t change the fact it’s an advert paid for by General Motors and made to promote a car, however.
