One Swoop Fell
└ posted on Monday, 8 June 2009, by Novil
Well, apparently the creator of One Swoop Fell took the ten bucks I donated to buy some advertising banners on other webcomic sites, for example on Sandra and Woo (at least there is one at the moment). I guess he got my “subtle” hint of calling his page views “pathetic” in the donation comment. 😉 That said, you should totally check One Swoop Fell out since it is marvellously drawn and it has a cast of likable characters, including the cutest squirrel girl ever put on paper a computer screen. The main heroes of the adventure story are the friendly bear Topo and his new friend, the “aviatically challenged” bird Swoop. One Swoop Fell only updates once a week, but often with a full page.

Thank you, yet another web comic to follow, as if I don’t have enough already.
Although, I’m not sure how, but I just managed to read through the entirety of One Swoop Fell in one sitting! Don’t worry I still love Sandra and Swoop- I mean Sandra and Woo. 😉
I’m following it now too. Thanks for the tip!
Haha, I sure did! Thanks so much for the ‘marketing advice’. 😉 Pageviews are definitely up today. Cheers!
Oh, and the donation of course.
@ Poco: Sadly, I’m now running out of really good nonfamous webcomics which are not already on the links page I could plug.
Saw this link via Everyday decay and i found myself loving it. Will there be more opn the Tweety murder like say Sylvester coming by for tips or something 😛
There won’t be new material regarding Tweety in the foreseeable future.
Holley molley! Thanks so much for plugging One Swoop Fell! I say this as a loyal reader who’s glad that it’s finally finding a bigger audience for itself. Judging from its PW profile, it went from about 500 to about 3000 visitors per day since your endorsement.
What I don’t understand is how “Sandra and Woo” got such a large audience (~10K visitors a day) despite coming online a few months AFTER “Swoop”. Is it to do with more effective advertising? Or due to being in two languages at once? Obviously, you’re doing something right here.
Also, for really good comics to plug, may I recommend “KUKUBURI”:

Also, “Zip and Li’l Bit” (currently on a hiatus between stories):

The visitor numbers in the Project Wonderful profile are not correct (this is the case for most websites which use it, on the other hand the hit numbers are usually correct). Sandra and Woo does not have 10k visitors a day, but around 3k.
It’s not a secret that there are Sandra and Woo advertising banners on at least a dozen other webcomic sites at any given moment. But just dumping money into Project Wonderful is not enough for a successful promotion campaign.
You also need to have a pretty good comic, obviously. 🙂
Which you do. This isn’t actually one of my favourite comics, but it’s pretty good, and I’m a subscriber to the RSS through http://www.isitifunnytoday.com
What kind of promotional things did you find worked well for you, other than Project Wonderful?
Oops, wrong link in my previous message: http://www.isitfunnytoday.com/
Although I actually first came here through your ad on “One Swoop Fell”.
Wow, Mike has some great art on that comic! I’m now subscribed to his rss feed.
I dunno, Sequential Art actually has 4 cute squirrel girls… 😛
