based on newsbox refs, i'm thinking that Life on Forbz is the most popular, then comes Sketch of Love and Chop.<P>------------------

I agree with Capheine. If you look at your referrers (and the BigPanda front page as well) it seems obvious that a great many people visit Life on Forbez. Is it fair to simply multiply the referrer number by the number of comics in the newsbox to get a sketchy main page estimate?<P>------------------

Of course, then there are comics that are neither on the Keenspace Top 100 or actively on BP...not that I'm mentioning any names (*cough* <a href="http://jackiesfridge.keenspace.com">Jackie'sFridge</A><A href="http://tonjasteele.keenspace.com">TonjaSteele</A><A href="http://www.jobeth.net/today.html">JoBeth!</A> *cough*) but don't forget those comics...<P><P>------------------

Dude...we're not that popular. But if we're supposed to be advertising on something, let me know; maybe I can actually finish a graphic sometime. Stranger things have happened.<P><P>------------------

What is the most popular Keenspace comic? I think
1.Explotation Now is...
2.but I also think Offbeat is...
3.Chaos, INC... maybe...
4.Growing Up Goth... I haven't heard much from people about it...
5.Asyn Netwerkz... Hasn't been around long enough to have a huge fan base
6.Next on the Keenspace top 100...is...ME
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH...Ohhh I kill me...Droll Street being popular...
7.Methodical Madness... has a chance...<P>Is there possibly some ULTRA-POPULAR comic I'm forgetting, or has just started at Keenspace?<P>(Note: Anyone on the list... If you thought I was dissing you, I wasn't) <P>------------------

Meanwhile, I can't help but wonder where exactly I stand in the rankings. Sure, I'm thirtieth in the Keenspace Top 100 (up from eighty-something a week ago!), but it could be the same small loyal group of readers voting daily.
Pardon my ramblings/rantings. Everything I say the next few days should be taken with several grains of salt.<P>------------------

in terms of critical acclaim, <B>BoxJam</B> <I>has</I> to be up there -- I keep finding notable sites that mention him, praise him, worship him, etc... certainly he seems quite appreciated in the keenspace folds, too! <P>in terms of site hits, yeah -- Life on Forbez is definitely up there...<P>and Exploitation Now is certainly a big hit with people both in and out of the 'Space...<P>'Course, I'm assuming that you're asking this on a global scale, not just a 'Spacer scale (as in, popular to just us 'Spacers)?<P>Hmm... now i'm wondering, if we had a big Space Vote, who would we (ourselves!) pick as 'Space Comic of the Year, Best Art, Funniest, best Sci-Fi, best weekly, tri-weekly, daily, BW, colour, storyline, etc...<P>------------------

the way i am seeing it, the top 100 lists aren't necessarily the most accurate way of gaging popularity -- but they are a good way to (hopefully) get noticed by new readers, because, yeah -- a small loyal group of readers voting every day gives the same result as a fairly large group of readers voting only once... ya know? <P>then again, i've only been doing this comic thing for three weeks now, so it's not like i'm an authority on the subject... <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/biggrin.gif"><P>------------------

wow... is it really?<P>I hardly get ANY hits from the top 100 boards... it's mostly been word of mouth, and kind plugs from a few established strips that have been helping me...<P>but, like i said before -- i'm still really new, and i'm guessing it'll be a little while before people start noticing my strip, top 100 or otherwise...<P>a fanbase can't be built overnight, i guess; i should be glad i have about 250-300 readers/day at this point...<P>but mark my words, one day i might enjoy YOUR level of popularity, Erin!

So, lets do it this way. I'm getting aprox 200 hits/month with around 75 full pageviews. October I'm hitting over 800 due to a crossover with the popular Freefall strip.

I have no idea what my page views are but I am popping on and off from the Top 10 list at the moment - along with Boarders and Sister. It's a close run thing.<P>But I know that some people I respect do read and enjoy my comic and that's the main thing.<P>Mab <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif"><P>------------------
