I do not seem to get a lot of traffic for my newest posts lately. Does anyone have any tips for increasing my views here on drunk duck?
I get decent response when I comment other comics
1. is there a best time to post comics to get the most views?
2. does posting multiples comics per day help, or is a few times per week better?
3. do you drive viewers from other websites to see your work?
Thanks for all the advice.
I'm enjoying everyone's work

1) Consistantly.
Now I'm sure there IS an optimal time on DrunkDuck because of people who upload their comics into the buffer... I imagine it would be early morning, before people go to school and work, since the auto-comics would've gone through but people are still on to read... either that, or in the afternoon.
2) As many updates as you can manage; up to one a day, seven a week. No more than that. If you can do more than that, focus on improving your art. Quality over quantity. Weekdays is the best schedule, followed by three a week, followed by two a week, followed by one a week if you really can't manage any more--only do one a week if you're awesome. If you can update more than seven times a week spend more time on each update and polish your art. Color it. Something. Or make a buffer.
3) Yes.
Though to be fair I'm not a Ducky, I promote a comic hosted offsite so here, your best bet is PROBABLY to comment on other people's comics like crazy, use the 'my comic just updated' thread down in the comic board, and comment on more comics. Participate in the forums and ABOVE ALL...
Put a clickable banner to your comic in your signature.
Seriously.
ON EVERY FORUM YOU POST ON EVER.
When I first started that's how I got most of my traffic.
