How did your comic fair in the shortest month of the year, February, and what are your plans for March?

I updated once... And people visited my site a few times.

Next month, more updates! =]

In case not everyone knows (as if I haven't been bitchin' about it everywhere), I've cancelled the comic and am going to take the site down on the 15th of March. The official notice has been up in the site since yesterday.

The comic actually came to a halt on the 14th of last month, but February had so far followed the trend of low numbers due to the defective updating.

I'm quite satisified with what I achieved, but I rather have it die now that become one of those pretty-much-in-hiatus-all-the-time comics I hate so much.

Chat Rouge is a month old. Aww. And suprisingly doing a looot better than IftP. Also looking to advertise it soon by shelling out money for it.

IftP is dying slowly and I'm getting lazy, but sticking around for about 1 more month with it before I take a well deserved break from it.

Mohawk is in the wood-work of becoming an amateur movie. (I asked my parents for a digital camera as a graduation present) And managed to update once.

The X Review has um... Possibility to update this month maybe?

This February was actually my best month ever. I about doubled my average visits per day (I have no idea why, but I'm not complaining.) But now I'm nervous that I won't do so well In March. I'm under pressure to keep doing well or I'll feel like a failure

.

Well. relatively well. My number of visits is still pretty small.

Hmm, the volet went well this month, my second best month in the stats department (but I say it's because one of my drawing was put on rpgamer and had a link leading to the comic). And for march...uh... more wackiness with Kefka and Pete!

Well, Ugly Girl has survived her first two months in regular publication, and even though that's only eight comics or so, I still feel pretty good about it. Right now I'm working on getting some more things for the site, like some merchandise and perhaps the Newsbox. I don't know if people are actually reading it or not (I don't check - it's so new still, and I don't want to get depressed about it) but I've been getting a good vibe about the character, so all in all, I'm feeling pretty positive about the whole thing.

I only updated 5 times this month because I've been busy and feeling crappy, but I somehow matched last month in terms of hits, and my overall visits increased. I also got more emails from random people, a couple of whom are not from this country (America).

I plan on finishing my current story this month, as well as writing a story that takes place during the day because using so much black ink is getting tiresome. I also have lots of drawings that I owe various people, like the one for ProtectMyBalls, and Angry Monkey drawing, and a Go For It guest strip. I also have a commision I need to start.

This has been a very good month. I updated every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday this month, and the strips contained some of my best work. Hit wise, it's also been a very good month. Visits surpassed the 100 mark, and page views averaged 455 per day.

It's been pretty good so far.

Rkolter · Post by **Rkolter** » Wed Mar 02, 2005 9:32 am

Did pretty good. Not as good as last month, but I had 1.5 intermissions this month and two fewer days. So about average.

Pimpette · Post by **Pimpette** » Wed Mar 02, 2005 9:36 am

I've been getting back into things this month, with a nicely shaded update every Monday. I might actually get some plot moving along soon. It's looking good for March - I have some plot to work out but I'm confident I can get through this without having to resort to filler.
I should actually update some pages this month - I haven't touched the art or links pages in ages, and I've got stuff to post....

This was the best month I've had since I was on Ghastly's wild ride. I shot from 98 to 40 on the webcomic list and before the guide change I was 68 after the change I was 37 and then when the disk space error happened, I'm not sure where my comic went on the guide.

My readership grew by almost 100 adverage Daily visits.

Hopefully March will be even bigger and better

Thanks to several factors, at least one of which was posting on this forum the popularity of my comic has greatly increased. February was the best month I've ever had and I get about 200 hits a day now, sometimes more (i think 326 was my record for a day) and sometimes less (about 150 or less on the weekends). I am so full of glee that people visit my site regulary!

Birdie · Post by **Birdie** » Wed Mar 02, 2005 10:23 am

Well my comic has kinda regained some ground I may have lost. I incorporated a forum which is helpful and shows I have at least 4 fans. I now get an average of 34 hits a day (which beat how it was 25 earlier). This month I plan on creating a huge buffer so I can work on other ideas and I'm taking a ride on ghastly's wild ride so next time I post about my site, it'll be that I did so well after my ride!!!

Problems due to real life responsibilities and just really not wanting to be on the internet plauged RotD this month . . . as well as the month before, and really the past few in general.

This month? Hell, I dunno, really. I'm working on things (mainly site updates), but it's going so slow because of the aformentioned problems.

Mattgo210 · Post by **Mattgo210** » Wed Mar 02, 2005 11:22 am

For the most part February was a good month for me. Even though I missed some updates (which I am greatly ashamed of) my hits per day went up 8 percent, the first its gone up in 3 months. I guess my readership finally leveled out and I can see whether it will grow or not from there.

Vorticus · Post by **Vorticus** » Wed Mar 02, 2005 11:59 am

Feburary. Well I didn't miss an update, as usual. My readership seems to be trending upwards. I did get myself a tagboard, but I forget if it was Feburary or January. I do have some storyline plans. The ridiculous part is how long it's taking to get to where I can use those plans. Other than that it has been the same old fruity merry-go-round.

Grim is good. 'Nuff said.

Keffria · Post by **Keffria** » Wed Mar 02, 2005 12:57 pm

I've been in a slump since mid-January; although I've managed to update every Monday for the past 5 or 6 weeks, if I may be corny, my heart really hasn't been in it, and I'm feeling rather burned out by my real-life obligations. I think my stats reflect this; I didn't even break the 4000 mark this month.

That being said, I'm looking very forward to this month, because if I keep on schedule for the next couple of pages, I'm going to do another "storybook week" -- i.e. at least four or five days in a row of quasi-picture-book-style pages. (I did the same thing last March, if anyone recalls.) So, yes, things are looking up.

Ruxen · Post by **Ruxen** » Wed Mar 02, 2005 1:12 pm

I'm up 500 uniques this month. The largest spike I've had in a year.
I'm hoping this trend continues as I move into March and hope to attract more readers through some paid advertising.
