Remember I said you should advertise around other schools? Print more and send 'em out. That'd be perfect.
Generally I've been getting 400-500 visits a day for the past few months. I haven't done any advertising lately apart from the webcomics.com and hotwebcomics.com banner exchanges, so maybe I'll try that again soon.

Wow...people actually get hits from my link of the two weeks thing?
The fact that I have vocal readers is enough. There may only be 4-5, but they link me sometimes. One guy gave me a day of joyous 300 visits because he linked me.
I get 50-100 visits depending on the day and update.
I get around 500 to 2500 page views and 100 to 300 visits per day. About half of the visits are from return readers, other half from new readers.
As you can see my hits/visits seem to fluctuate a lot...one day I won't do so well, next day I'll get 5 times the traffic for no particularly apparent reason.
A zoo full of cute yet uproariously funny animals...how can you go wrong?
We are averaging 31 visits/day for Jun and we just uploaded pg 50! (which if I can toot my horn a bit, it is with no missed updates!) our update days are about 47 visits, but we have gotten as few as 13.
I don't know if I said hits or visits, but I meant visits. Hits is a rediculously high number lately. (be some nice if that was my unique visitors though )
I think we all understand what everyones talking about anyways. I find with a lot of webdesign and big webpages i read they refer to unique visits as hits anyways. It's probably some kind of internet slang, cause the english language is retarded like that.

Dammit, I'll throw away that request that I was going to email you!
Anyway I think that any webcomic author would benefit from plugging each other's comics more. The newsbox and the links pages are all well and good, but nothing beats a link to another comic on the front page with a few words about it, to make people check it out.
When I was on keenspace I used to have a "webcomicker of the week" thing on my main page where I plugged other keenspace authors, I dunno if anyone remembers about it. If people did that for each other's comics, it would help everybody. Besides, comic readership isn't a zero sum thing, so you don't lose your readers if you send them over to check someone else's stuff.
I get 150-200 hits a day usually. I'm guessing this is just the same readers checking back alot because you never know when the fuck I'm going to update... I'm trying to change that.
I like the idea of more advertising for struggling yet quality comics on some bigger comics sites. Alot of good comics only need a few good words here and there to become moderately popular. It only does good things, really. If I were popular, I'd do that.

June is rocking for me... 5100 total sites and 103 daily visits.
Question, though: I see a lot of people using the Visits column to measure uniques, but I thought Visits (according to the webalizer FAQ) measured remote site linkings, not people coming to the site? I thought that was what Sites was for.

I used to have a "reccomended link" on the main page of "mcDuffies" while it still updated. Unfortunately, I made a procedure of putting a new link a bit difficult, so I couldn't make myself change it often...
Andyways, I'm planning to have a few slots for comics I currently read on "Square roots comics" too - next to my blog and old comic stuff... however, one slot is reserved for my sister's boyfriend. What to do. Family.
Hits is a rediculously high number lately.
Perhaps you put more images on the main page or something.
Visits: 20/day avg. Or 40. Depending on who I ask.
Yesterday I had a massive traffic spike according to Statcounter, but I can't find anything in the GC stats listing. I also have no idea where they came from. Or if they're even real. They could just be making it up... *paranoia*
