Don't Forget About SEO

When your comic is up and going, the first thing you want to do is make sure that it shows up high in the search engine rankings. The way it's done is with a thing called search engine optimization. 

All this means is that you've done three basic things. First, search engines consider your comic to actually be at least semi-important. It doesn't actually have to be important. It just has to basically be something that everybody's looking for. There's the three basic qualifications:
 

1) The site itself is really well organized, properly designed, and and looks great. Your synopsis and all your text is grammatically correct and there are no typos. Don't worry about how names are spelled as long as you are consistent. Sneak words in as much as possible, such as by using alt tags. 

2) You're going to want to use get the word out. You want to want to go to directories and Facebook pages, and do a little bit of spamming but not too much in order to get some buzz going on the comic; the more places it appears, the better it looks for the search engines. You need people going to that site as much as you possibly can. 

3) This also means advertising This means getting the word out. This means basically dragging people kicking and screaming to your site. Because the more visitors it the more it impresses the search engines and the more that you impress them the more relevant your site appears and therefore the more worth listening to it is. 

So don't forget about search engine optimization while restructuring your site, or you will simply get lost in the ranking. Make sure that your website is pretty well designed so that you pretty much be everywhere you can be and that you used at least a little bit of advertising. If you do that, you should be good. So don't forget about SEO.
