Sheercore

OK, I removed the Google AdSense ads after only 24 hours, because I quickly realised two things:

1. Because the topic of the comic changes constantly, and because there’s not a large body of text, the ads aren’t particularly well-targeted, and indeed are usually just sites relating to comics in a generic way.
2. The actual available ads just aren’t that relevant to you, the reader of a webcomic (except by coincidence), and some are downright irrelevant and bizarre.

So, AdSense is gone. Instead, I’ve set up 5 ad spaces with Project Wonderful, and if you’re interested you can sign up and put your own ad here on Sheercore - right now, it’s FREE!

I intend to only serve ads for sites that are relevant to Sheercore (other comics, nerdy stuff, computing, scifi, etc), so hopefully this should work out well. If you’re interested in advertising here or in serving ads on your own site (or just interested in how it can be free right now), navigate over to Project Wonderful and read about it (it’s another endeavor of that sneaky Ryan “Dinosaur Comics” North chap)

The other cool thing is that the model is based on ads being displayed rather than on clicks, so you don’t have the click-fraud thing and I don’t need to encourage you to click the ads! (Though page-views are of course gently encouraged.)

It seems we have some actual ads up already, and if you’d like yours to be there, go sign up at Project Wonderful and set it up.
