The Double Edged Sword of Google Ad-Sense

Here is the current deal with my site. This post is more for the Google Ad-Sense people than anyone else. 

For reasons I'm going to decline going into, I have changed my mind and am going to publish the rest of The Un-Iverse on this site. So far I have #52 issues completed and am currently working on finishing #53. Good deal, right? After each issue I complete, I will post it there. Neat! 

So I figured I'd start having ads on the site. I didn't expect a TON of revenue but I expected some. I figured as the saga got further into completion (and awesomer and awesomer) more and more people would show up. I also planned to pimp the hell out of the site on the sites I frequent. 

But Ad-Sense said "No deal," and said I had to fix the site. You know the problem, right? There hasn't been a new post since 2020! Yes, I am constantly editing the site (and post new sketches in the Sketches section whenever I make them using the edit function), but there are no real new posts. Despite the fact that I plan a bunch of new posts, this currently looks like a dead site and not attractive enough for Google to bite. 

What I'm gonna do next is post three more issues today to give the Ad-Sense folks a bit of a taste of what's coming and post a new issue every week after that. Sort of like The Order Of The Stick. The problem will be when I run out of issues and will have to publish them one at a time. It sometimes takes a month (or more) to complete 'em, depending on their length. I promise the Ad-Sense people to pimp the site and still post updates and even new sketches in the meantime. I also can state with certainty that the issues WILL be coming MUCH faster than they have in the past. 

I want to share Gilda And Meek with the world. I believe in this franchise and think people will wind up loving it. If Ad-Sense gives the greenlight I will post the issues one at a time, and then as they come. If they still say "Nope" I'm posting everything I've got at once and THEN as they come. If they pass, I truly believe it is Ad-Sense's loss. I posted the first 34 issues to give people a taste of how awesome the saga could be. Once I post the saga actually becoming awesome I think I'm gonna get a lot more traffic. 

I'm posting all three parts of Gilda And Meek "Timeline Trilogy" today. It's an awesome story with a great ending (although as always, you need to read the first 34 issues first). C'mon, Google. Say yes. It will be worth it. I swear.

Welcome To Gilda And Meek And The Un-Iverse!

Image
My name is Matt Zimmer and I have created a crudely drawn comic book (mostly in the pencil stage) and I have drawn over 50 issues at this point. I will be posting them all on this blog.  What is Gilda And Meek about?  It's about several things at once. It's a story of a Lucky Universe in a Multiverse teeming with Unlucky Ones and how our hero navigates that to her own advantage. It's a funny animal book that bit by bit reveals a huge fantasy and science fiction underpinning, much like Bone. It starts off as an erstwhile comedy until you realize it's actually been a drama the entire time. It's a story that after you read all 90 issues, you'll want to reread them again, as the best reading of The Un-Iverse isn't the first, it's the second. It's a bunch of random and seemingly unrelated characters and stories building and crossing over until they collide in an epic 19-part finale. It's about the antagonistic and loving relationship betwee

1. Gilda And Meek "Groundwork" Special Edition (Un-Iverse #1)

Rating: PG-13 (Bloody Violence and Drug Use).  A Note About The Special Edition Of Gilda And Meek "Groundwork" The first version of Groundwork looked absolutely terrible. I had not drawn in over 15 years when I put it to paper in 2015 and my weak arm and lettering indecisions made the issue look incredibly unprofessional. Not my best foot forward for getting people into Gilda And Meek on this site.  So I've taken the occasion to entirely redo the artwork with some minor script revisions. It looks much closer to my current art style and yet I feel the rough spirit of the first version is still present. As the Groundwork for the canon, it was sort of designed to be the worst issue to start out with, and to be built upon and improved from there. I think it's probably still the worst issue (as designed) but I'm no longer ashamed of the artwork. We'll see if readers agree.  Author's Note for Gilda And Meek #1 "Groundwork" Special Edition (Un-Ivers

Other Artists I Like

Here are some links to artwork for other artists I like, mostly that I have met through the animation forum Anime Superhero.  Gatordragon is a personal hero of mine. His Bounty Fools characters are something I love and dig. I can't wait to see the story someday. Here is his Instagram page:  Gatordragon PalkAaron2002 does a lot of neat and colorful media banners. They look terrific and eyepopping. His Deviant Art Page is PalkAaron2002 Samuel Edme has a very cool and unusual web strip out called The Shapes. Check out his Tapas and Webtoon pages (linked below) Sam The Cartoonist's The Shapes at Tapas Sam The Cartoonist's The Shapes At Webtoons I love RandomMe Arts. His Mermen obsession never fails to make me smile. His drawings are super appealing to me.  RandomMe Arts My friend Nana Kumi-Amankwah has a GREAT webcomic called "Lil' Hero Artists". The artwork would be amazing enough for me to recommend if it the story sucked, but it doesn't. The whole thing is
