Votes!

Checkout this amazing screenshot I snapped on Top Web Comics last night! (Click it to get the full expanded AWSOMENESSS!)

How cool is that? Well, it’s a bit misleading. You see, TWC resets all comic votes to 0 at midnight PST on the first day of every month so the number on the right is the number of votes:


Haha. 4.

So, massively skewed results when the voting table is so small. Still, you guys were voting like champions, because by 11am today, Otherworld was at position 16 with 91 votes. Funny thing was, I know that 391 people had been to the site. So that means that less than a quarter actually click that little vote button on the last page of each update.

I’m not complaining, because Otherworld is holding its own against comics with 10x the daily traffic. But it makes me wonder... why?

Why do you not vote?

I’m happy for your answer to be anything including “because this comic is not good enough.” I really don’t mind, but I think it would be really interesting to know.

So I’m going to ask you to help me improve this site by leaving a comment. The following are some of my guesses:

- I don’t want to see a vote incentive that spoils next week.
- I don’t think the vote incentives are good enough.
- I don’t even vote at the elections, you think I’d vote for a stupid comic?
- What vote? I don’t know what voting at Top Web Comics even is.
- Can’t be bothered.
- I’m not your freaking CLICK MONKEY!

I’m cool with any of those or any others. I love feedback, so hit me up!

If you do, maybe we can work out a better vote incentive, something more of you would like?
