Wow. I'm in 120th place on the Comicstrips top 100. Of course, I do desperately want to push down the banner for "five" on the Keen top 99 as well... (oh, e's reading this? Sorry... <:)) So, come on - you know you can vote for more than one comic at the same time!Mab ------------------

I had an idea WRT the Golden Blot award and Big Panda...why not make the Golden Blot awards links-by-proxy to their respective comics through Big Panda? Carson Fire has been doing something similar on his main page (the current focus is "Silent Comic", which is very very good).------------------

In countless documents sent straight to the shredder
That might finally give us the whole of the picture
But until the day we decide to dig a little deeper
We know that truth will hide
Under fallen rocks and stones
At the end of a disconnected phone
Down an unmarked street
And buried, deep beneath your feet."

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Originally posted by Maboo:
Tell me more...<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>What you do is use the links Big Panda uses for outgoing links. These redirect to the target site, but also tally the clickthroughs and their source and destination. Since both outgoing and incoming clickthroughs count towards a comic's votes in Big Panda, the result would be that a click through the Golden Blot Award link would count as a vote for Blotto Street and for the recipient of the award, boosting both in the rankings. It wouldn't even inconvenience the user in any way. Everybody wins! As for finding out how to do the Big Panda links, I dunno. You'd have to ask Carson or Reinder (of Rogues of Clwyd-Rhan).(Incidentally, Carson's idea wasn't originally to boost his own rankings. The fact that the clickthroughs to his spotlight comics also count for Elf Life as well was a happy accident.)------------------

UPDATE: Damonk is using this scheme on his "Kicka**" and "Hall of FRAMED" awards. So he's another one you could ask.------------------

it's very simple, really...all you do is have this for the address:
<A HREF="http://www.bigpanda.net/v.php?u=framed.keenspace.com/" TARGET=_blank>http://www.bigpanda.net/v.php?u=framed. ... ce.com/</A> the bit after the "u=" is the address you want to link to~~ the above link for example, leads to my site, but counts as a click-thru for the bigpanda rankings, apparently.i got the idea from Pauly and Megs. it's as simple as that! <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/biggrin.gif">------------------

Voting stuff? Oooo...Anyway, as it stands now, Blotto is currently 16 votes out of the top 100. That is, of course, if none of the strips ahead of it get any votes between now and then. I don't have any data on the other strips to back me up, but hey...Nak

WE'RE ONLY SIX VOTES OUT OF THE TOP 100 NOW!!!Mab

Even some of the banners which were, till recently, in the Top 25 were as good as dead. There's going to be a day when it becomes practically worthless....but not before Blotto hits the top 20, I hope.Yeah, like that's gonna happen.Mab------------------

On the Big List, finally! Cool. Just another 1600 or so votes until we see a Blotto banner... <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif">Nak

And in other news, it looks like the Keenspace Top 99 has adopted a policy of resetting at the end of each month. Blotto is way down the list now...------------------
