Yeah, the traffic here is definately good for new comic artists just starting to show their stuff off. That way they have the chance for at least ONE person to see their comic and comment.

Yahoo.com was first on that list not surprisingly. I always thought Google was better though, even though their the same thing. I mean come on, googling sounds better than yahooing.

Both of you have sig banners that are too big, I've just sent you PQs about that :)

Alexia is strange, Apparently the third biggest viewing population for DD comes from Lithuania! Twice as much as Australia! And yet I see a lot of Aussies about… Maybe the Lithuanians are just keeping really quiet? Speak up Lithuania! …Vilnius must be lovely this time of year.

Well I chose to post my comics here, so that was instantly a huge boost to the site. Considering my geocities sites were always destroyed, the other two places I tried to host myself where "net-friends" and somewhat unreliable.

My page over on tehfunnies was about three times as popular as regular penis.

I remember when DD was but a young duckling. Where there was like three huge lists on the front page and a forums link and that was it.

Oh how you've grown duck.

wow thats alot of traffic there.

Posted at 7:06AM, Jun. 18, 2007

ugh… i'm glad it shows somewhat favorably but really you should never follow alexa stats… they *horribly* skewed.

they are just one of the few sites that make *free* public statement about peoples traffic and so are able to get the interest of people who don't know any better. the stats are highly innacurate… especially the more niche the site is.

never trust a web business person quoting alexa… either it shows his lack of expertise or he's hiding something.

Is Volte6 still the chief big cheese on DD? Awhile back I heard he's getting burnt out and leaving and passing on the torch and stuff…

Posted at 10:06AM, Jun. 22, 2007

Haha yeah i'm still here of course. They hired me on to run the site when they acquired it.

We win.

Are you referring to the "Spamvasion" incident over at the Top Drawer a while back?
