Advertising On Bleeding Cool? You Know It Makes Sense.

Look above this article. There's a banner. Currently, for me it says "How I Lost 5 Stone In 15 Weeks". I am target market for that obviously, but dubious as to the claim. You will probably have a different ad, served up by Google depending on which other sites you have recently been to.

I've just refreshed and got an ad for Playstation stuff. Much better. I mean, I have a Wii, but still. I really should use the Wii Fit more. I bought that from Comics Aliance's Andrew Wheeler. Hang on, where was I? Oh yes.

But what I'd really like is to see your ad there. Maybe something actually to do with comic books. There's spots below, skins, skyscrapers, all that, as well as more integrated advertising campaigns.

If you'd like to discuss advertising or promotions on Bleeding Cool, contact Jim Kuhoric on jimkuhoric@bleedingcool.com.

After all, all sorts of people read Bleeding Cool. Just ask Dave Sim who recently wrote;

You know one of the reasons that I don't have Internet at home is that I know if I did I'd be hooked on BLEEDING COOL! Just completely absorbed in watching all the breaking news and trending items on BLEEDING COOL. BLEEDING COOL really have all the stories that comic fans are looking for, up to the minute, 24/7. Consequently BLEEDING COOL has the best-informed, most intelligent audience of pretty much any news site on the Internet I could think of. In fact I'm typing this on August 21st and I was just up at the counter buying my coffee here at the coffee shop and there were two average downtown Kitchener businessmen ahead of me in line — just regular guys with, obviously, a lot of disposable income and right smack in that target demographic everyone is looking to connect with on the Internet these days — and they were talking about BLEEDING COOL's breaking story of Geoff Johns leaving AQUAMAN and whether it would be trending up or down on the home page. That happens to me so often these days — people who haven't even touched a comic book in twenty years absolutely immersed in what's happening on BLEEDING COOL — that I don't even remark on it anymore.

Yes, I was quite surprised when I read that too. Then there's Mark Waid who was asked where traffic for his digital comic publisher Thrillbent was coming from.

Sixty-one percent of our traffic is referral traffic. Most of it comes from this site, then from Facebook, then Reddit, then Bleeding Cool.

Or Zenescope boss Joe Brusha who told one correspondent, after we ran an article on payment issues in the comics industry;

The result of the article has actually made our cash flow position far worse. Many artists are demanding to be paid immediately on invoices that are not yet due or refusing to work at all without being paid up front.

Or Keanu Reeves who reads it in his most recent film.

Also Richie Branson who wrote in;

Hey Rich, I met with Adult Swim while I was on tour and I asked them how they found out about my Bring Back Toonami song. It turns out a member of their staff saw it on Bleeding Cool...thus I owe you an extreme debt of gratitude for sharing that song with your readers. Thanks a million!

Now that I just wrapped up a successful national tour, I've resurrected my popular #OtakuTuesdays anime & videogame rap series. The first song kicks things off with a hip-hop tribute to Yu Yu Hakusho's iconic villain Toguro. Here's the youtube link!

It all has to begin somewhere…
