So, with the upcoming Links section still not totally ready(I have, what... 6 buttons out of 13 done), I'm still going to start it with one idea I had: a Paid Ads section.

And before you start throwing the tomatoes, here's the deal: it's my best bet to join both mine and your interests, dear reader. Believe me.

The matter is: I do want to get some money out of this deal. Or at least try. And, since I don't see any profit coming from any sort of publishing contract, print sales of membership(in fact, I don't see any point in offering a membership for a webcomic site), paid ads are my best bet.

On the other hand, like most web user I know ads are annoying. They get in the way, which is the reason I took the banners from the top of the page and moved it down. At the very least, anyone can read the comics without even acknowledging those ads. It's a poor business decision, but I want to put the readers in first place.

So the paid ads section is a section dedicated to those kinds of links. They are links to other sites, which I'm recommending because I'm being paid for. While it is as odd/stupid as it sounds, it's at least honest.

So, yes, they will be there, and with extra space I can afford to have lots of banners and ad space. I'll still focus on the comic sites I actively recommend, so worry not. I still care.

And no, my shirt isn't an advertising space for sale. Yet.
