Have a product or a webpage you need to advertise? Is your site, service, or product just a little too naughty to be advertised with
normal ad networks? Want to get the most adviews for the least amount of money on a popular website?
Well then have we got the deal for you. On Ghastly's Ghastly Comic we sell static advertising
to ensure that you, the advertiser receive the maximum advertising impact for your advertising dollar.
Instead of selling an adbox or banner space to several advertisers and then cycling the ads through
that ad space, ad spaces are sold exclusively in 30 day blocks for low, affordable prices. This means your ad always appears on every pageview every second, of every minute of every day for that 30 day
advertising period. Visitors to Ghastly's Ghastly Comic will always see your ad in that spot.
Is 30 days a little more than you need? No problem, Ghastly's Ghastly Comic offers 10 day advertising
blocks as well.
Furthermore, we host your ad image. This means if people use ad-blockers to block images from the
server hosting your ads they'll end up blocking all images on this site (something nobody visiting this
site would want to do since the images are the site).
There are 6 adspaces available on this site. The premium ad space is the top of the page banner ad.
This is a standard 468x60 ad banner space. This adspot can be yours for 30 days for only $300 USD,
or 10 days for $110 USD. This banner space is on top of every page on the site.
The other 5 adspots are standard 120x120 ad boxes that appear on the right of the content space of
every page on the site. These adboxes can be yours for 30 days for only $100 USD, or 10 days for $35 USD. As well, multiple adboxes can be purchased and used to run one larger, single image (eg. three adboxes may be purchased together to allow you to run a 120x360 sized advertisement).
Ghastly's Ghastly Comic is a growing website wich averages over 2,000,000 pageviews each month. This means the CPM on our static adviews is considerably less than the CPM for rotational adviews on an ad network. Plus no matter how much the adviews increase during the 30
days you buy an ad on our site you still only pay the agreed upon price.
Who is the audience your advertisements will reach? What are they interested in? For the most part
they are web-savy, young adults of college age. Their interests are technology, games, animation,
comics, "naughty-fun", and all the finer things of Geek-Culture. They're just nice, normal people who enjoy a good naughty laugh from time to time.
Are static advertisements not quite what you're looking for? Then e-mail us with your
advertising needs and we will work with you to see if we cannot come up with a sollution that fits
your advertising requirements.

Attention Webcomic Artists: Do you create a quality webcomic, one with solid writing and artwork yet feel that your talents are largely going ignored and under-appreciated? Do you feel that your comic is buried under a mountain of web comics, and if only you were given a chance to be acknowledged you'd be able to attract the numbers your work truly deserves? Well a 10 day adbox on Ghastly's Ghastly Comic is the perfect solution. A well crafted adbox on Ghastly's Ghastly Comic will draw a significant number of readers to your comic, your talent will keep them there. For only $35, you will be given a chance to be noticed by a larger webcomic audience. This could be just the catalyst you need to get your webcomic career really moving at a price that can't be beat.
NaomZ of the webcomic Zeera And The Pirates saw her comic jump from being the 212th ranked comic by traffic on Keenspace to become the 73rd ranked comic by traffic. That's a jump of 139 places in only 10 days. C.J. Burgundy of the webcomic Burgundy Comics saw her comic jump from being the 139th ranked comic by traffic on Keenspace to become the 7th ranked comic by traffic on Keenspace in just 10 days.
So as you can see, the potential to increase your readership with an ad on Ghastly's Ghastly Comic can be quite dramatic. However, as one webcomic artist to an another I don't recommend purchasing adspace lightly. Before you buy ads (here or elsewhere) ask yourself, "Am I truly ready for the kind of attention an advertising campaign will draw to my work? Is my work worth the money it would cost to promote it?"
Now it's hard to evaluate your own work objectively, but those are some hard questions that need to be asked and answered before you should consider advertising your comic and nobody can answer those questions but you.
Make sure your story is solid. Make sure your art is as good as you can make it. I can bring you readers with an adbox, but I can't make you keep them. That part is up to you. If you're just starting a webcomic and are disappointed because you've got less than one hundred regular readers now is not the time to buy an adbox. All webcomics go through a growing phase and it takes them awhile to find their legs. We all start off slowly with relatively few readers. It's all part of "paying your dues". Patience and practice will take you far.
If on the other hand you've been at it for awhile, your story and characters are established, your artwork is polished, but you just can't seem to get over that hump; if you're still struggling to get more than a couple thousand regular readers; if you just can't seem to gain any attention because your comic is one of many on the internet (there tens of thousands of webcomics but very few will ever attract any serious attention) then now might be the time to consider advertising your work to a larger audience. An adbox on Ghastly's Ghastly Comic will get your work noticed by that larger audience for a price that won't break your wallet.
