So this is a first for me.
To mention the NCS Awards on my blog. But there’s a reason for it.
This year’s awards are kind of special because again, I don’t see a category for webcomic artists among the entries. (No W-oons AGAIN!)
Okay, maybe that doesn’t make it special at all.
Actually, that makes it kind of biased, really. I mean the webcomics as a genre of cartooning exists and IS a valid art form. Hope I’m just reading this wrong.
In any case, Congrats to the nominees! (and to our boys Tom, Seth, Stephen, Wiley, Richard and Dan! and Good Luck.

I run two webcomic sites, one a bit more popular than the other. I would like to introduce my less popular website to my readers and encourage them to view it as often as they do the first site as well as build a readership for the lesser site as well. Any suggestions?
Thanks for this question. I would recommend that you tell your existing audience about your less viewed website through blog posts and after notes made on the more popular site. Use persuasive language to describe the new site to your readers and encourage them to investigate it. Make sure that new, interesting and regularly updated content is present to get and keep their attention. Use buttons and text links to quickly and easily connect readers to your new site. Also, figure out what kinds of web user will appreciate your new website and advertise to them on webcomic directories, forums and on social networking sites.
For your more seasoned readers, have you used other techniques to get attention for your sites. Please tell us about them.
