Project Wonderful Update

Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on January 1, 2007 - 22:56

Some great new changes to Ryan North's Project Wonderful auction ad service including two I thought I'd highlight:

1. You can bid on ad "boxes" - this means if you want an ad on Comixpedia, for example, you can bid once for the cheapest of the three PW slots here.

2. Bids by the penny below ten cents - this is good for smaller sites where you might buy an ad for 4 or 5 cents but not the previous minimum of 10 cents.

Second - I'm putting sometime in focusing on the webcomics encyclopedia at comixpedia.org to try and improve it and make it more valuable to the Comixpedia community. I think I've sorted out how to run Project Wonderful ads on it now - they're fairly unobtrusive and should help bring in a few more dollars to the Comixpedia coffers so I can start paying people to work on things around here again. If you're interested go to Comixpedia.org now.

Happy 2007 Y'All! (UPDATED)

I saw some folks were putting fresh paint jobs on their websites including Theater Hopper and Diesel Sweeties. Anyone else with a cool new layout to look at?
