All I can say is that in my Today's Toons threads here on Free Republic, I posted ~ 13,000 toons last year (& will again this year). Yours is the only one that I'm using a click-on link to your site & asking for support. I don't plan on doing it for others unless per request (as you did). I've never used quotas on cartoons before & have posted multiple older cartoons once I've learned of a site...if I feel that viewers of the thread would enjoy it. Your Winger cartoons (as opposed to your others which are not political enough for my threads) are only about 7 weeks old so I decided to post them a week at a time since a week of your cartoons seems to follow a specific storyline. If after this week, you don't think that my 2000+ daily views on Free Republic (in addition to Today's Toons appearance on at least 2 other web sites as well as in some Yahoo! groups & in Usenet newsgroups, etc.) is doing you any good, let me know & I'll stop posting them.

It may be since my comic strip is so new, the imbalance is more dramatic in my logs than for other, more established sites. That is, views of my comics over here are completely overwhelming what little traffic I've got going on over there. ;)

Some other sites may simply have not noticed. Nobody has time to follow back every referrer in their logs to see what's going on. If you've been doing this for a while, you've been lucky; syndicates and networks *do* send out these lawyerly letters when alerted to other sites linking their graphics. That's probably not the best way for it to be handled, but it does happen.

But thanks, again. As I said, I *do* need the exposure, at the same time. I can see how it might have looked like I was complaining in the first post, but I felt I had to mention the other posts, anyway, so this wouldn't look so much like spam. That's the Catch-22... you'd like to share, but one man's sharing is another man's spam. :)
