For all you people that are starting their webcomics, or thinking of redesigning your webcomics layout, please give this a listen. There are many, many, valid points to be had here. SEO is very important in bringing your webcomic to the top of the search engines pages.
As you all know, I hold the design of your front page pretty heavily (as you should) in my reviews. This is the one thing that makes someone stay or leave in one split second. As much as you want it to believe it is your current webcomic on the front page that draws them in… its not. You could have the golden nugget of the internet, but people won’t see it through the turd it is sitting in. I cannot stress this enough.
Is there any tips you guys have come across that you would like to add to these fine ass general rules presented here? Any design tips specifically for the webcomic world?

Great Vid. This guy knows his SEO and Usability. I’m all about CSS layouts. Tables are a thing of the past. I’ve seen SEO do tons when it cames to getting traffic from search engines. It’s worth the time and effort, trust me.

I’ve been working hard to get the webcomics submitted here the proper SEO treatment. That is one of the many perks for submitting webcomics on this site.

Fo’ shizzle!
I’ve broken every rule in that rap. Mostly because CSS/XML are a little above me, for now…
