There probably won't be a banner. But there'll be the link, and perhaps it'll bring in more readers.

We ought to post the vote link in the comments, so those who don't visit the forum can be aware and be able to vote as well.

That would be cool, should be done by whoever visits the comic right after it's up, so that more people see it.
Mr. Siddell, if any of this makes you uncomfortable, please say so and we'll stop.

Now that's more like it. We should continue putting the link in the comments.

Wooooo. Tom, maybe at the beginning of next month you should make an "official" Gunnerkrigg page on TWC? I suppose it doesn't make a huge difference, but somethin' to think about.

Done and posted the link. In the comments, I mean. Let's hope for many more happy fan clicks.

What happens when you get to the top?

We celebrate. And then many many more readers get the privilege of discovering your comic and falling in love with it like we have. Hey, it's the least your fans can do. It's like an extended tool for the "word of mouth" technique. Although I hope it won't bring strain on the hosting etc. Edit: of course, if you hate all of this, I would feel awful and totally stop doing it and run towards the nearest mouse hole to hide for all of eternity.

What happens when you get to the top? People use the list to discover webcomic that they might enjoy. Most people don't bother reading all the way down the list, so stuff at the top will get seen more than stuff at, say, #20. Other than that, wat Rasselas said.

What happens when you get to the top? Make sure it stays there! And hopefully generate an audience for your comic that's so big that publishers will beg you for a contract. Kind of an early new year's resolution.

Oh boy oh boy, we only started this voting thing like a week ago or so? And GC is already ranked 12th. Nice!

Here's where we get into the big vote-jumps, but we can do it - we have enough fans.
#12, woo!

Just to break into the top ten would be a good milestone accomplishment. Vote until your hands are bloody stumps!

In an entirely non-sexual way, I would be attracted simply by the "BRUTAL ROBOT ACTION!" Robots are awesome.
I actually read through Flipside to see what was up (yes I'm a pervert) and it's MUCH better and more involved then the description would lead one to believe. Yes there are pervy moments, but the "nymphomaniac jester" is dealt with as, well, a person with nymphomania instead of a tool for showing sexy time.
Gunnerkrigg still needs to be in the top ten. Make it so, ladies and gentlemen.

@ Freederick: nice one. 'Kinky characters showing off their wood' might attract quite a different audience though :-)
quick math:
this is the 12th day of voting.
#12 Gunnerkrigg Court: 2327/12 = 193.9 votes a day #9 Zombie Hunters: 3134/12 = 261.1 votes a day.
So all we have to do is find 67.2 people who'll be willing to cast a daily vote and we're in the top 10, easily. 67.2 fathers, mothers, brothers sisters, colleagues, schoolmates on a global scale is feasible. We all know people we can blackmail or bribe, I'm sure.

Or do you mean 12 days since we all started voting for GC?

The voting resets at the beginning of each month. Has anyone already posted the voting link in the comments? If so, please post here so we don't spam. I haven't, so far.

No, what I mean is that votes on TWC only are valid during a period of a month, and that all votes are reset at the beginning of a new month. If we produce e.g. 200 votes on January 1st, chances are that we take the #1 spot, at least for a couple of hours. The trick is to stay up there, or at least stay in the top 10. If new readers stick and vote, that should create a fan base large enough to secure a top 10 position.

I don't even think it's perverse. I guess they called it "nymphomanic" to get readers..

...Gwee: now the official Gunner fan squeal? That would be a fairly interesting blurb to put as a description.
