Dan's Daily Web Cartoon

It's ridiculous - I never get the time to get on this blog and post. Between assignments (which am thankful to have) and regular clients, then recently using Twitter as a marketing tool, along with TweetAdder, I haven't had the extra time to get here. I finally have a chance to blog, and a fellow web designer and SEO specialist has added my daily web cartoon to http://www.demotivate.info/ which features some pretty doggone comical photographs....for whatever reason, dressing up an unsuspecting K-9 always puts a smile on most faces and I wanted to mention Demotivation Pictures and Crazy Funny Picture Videos.
Don't mind the wrestling image...I think these buffoons get this from their boss Vince McMahon who's gone over the deep end. Another excellent site where the "jokes have pizzazz" is: http://www.zazec.com/ and there is alot of good inter-action available for the visitor and the site here, if you take time out to visit. Not just your average "view & browse" type of humor site....great seeing this. I'm learning that Twitter (or BigT as I call it) has fast become more of a marketing tool...not just a "micro blogging" site. But as time marches on, I want to mention a bit more here regarding TweetAdder and it's useful compatibility as a marketing software you use in conjunction with Twitter itself....it's pretty interesting and a bit mind-boggling.

I recently mentioned the virtues of creating your own Zazzle store and feel it necessary to reemphasize some other aspects in relation to how well it may benefit a "creative" person. Aside from focusing on my own stores which I've already done, I feel it would be great to profile another fellow Zazzler's store to allow visitors to get an idea of what a real good Zazzle store layout looks like. Tom Wuthrich is a fellow cartoonist who I've known for many moons, and I discovered Tom has in depth knowledge on the inner workings of this unique online store provider. Zazzle lends itself greatly to those of us who are creative....painters, illustrators, artists, graphic designers, photographers, cartoonists and on & on. Unlike your typical "brick & mortar" store that will require the owner to pay property taxes, rental fees for the square floor space of your store, utilities to maintain for heat, electricity etc. A Zazzle store only requires some basic knowledge of page layout and web page optimization and promotion. You register for free and then go in and set up and configure the look, feel and presentation of your Zazzle store. Tom's
Swisstoons Funny Business is a nice clean looking page layout with an easy to navigate set of links and items to choose from. Tom realized early on how best to promote his online presence by learning about the value of keywording, tagging and backlinking his store and he sells alot of items on his store. Not only that, he still adds to the store which is key in making more sales. At one point in time, during a period I call the "glory days" of magazine gag cartooning back in the 70's, 80's and much of the 90's, Tom's cartoons appeared along side mine in many offbeat magazines and other publications like Good Housekeeping, New Woman, Omni, Highlights, Readers Digest, National Enquirer, TV Guide, Saturday Evening Post which were all regular users of SWISS cartoons. I sincerely miss those times and the ease with which a cartoonist could simply circulate his work from one editor to the next. As for the Zazzle stor, like anything else, you need to focus on generating quality looking content and uploading those items regularly. The more items you offer for sale, the better chance you have at selling. Just like those who are good at fishing will say, you just don't go out and cast a line or two....you need to consistently go day after day and keep casting and reeling and you will continually get sales. Have a look and if you are curious as to whether Zazzle may benefit you then visit the site and register an account, and do an "experimental" store page....if you don't like what you see, just log out and go back in after you've gotten rid of any frustration or doubt and start over!

For those bloggers seeking more visibility, join Technorati. It offers you that all ubiquitous "backlink" and helps to elevate you in the search engine results pages for whatever subject matter your blog pertains to. Once you do this, yes, you may as well consider yourself a member of "geekdom". Now, I have to go look for my pair of Buddy Holly horn-rimmed glasses with that white tape in the bridege of the frame, so I feel more official.

I rarely post about my online promotional antics and I use that term "antics" loosely. After years of weaving my way through this nightmare I call the internet, I find it necessary to promote my various web pages, sites and ventures. I recently acquired membership with Squidoo which allows it's users to create a "lens". Basically all a lens really is, is another web page pointing back to the web site of your choice. You will inevitabley benefit by creating a lens because of the fact Squidoo has such a high page rank and any other web site you "lens" about, will be offered that extra-added press, along with giving the website in question....that boost of "link juice" and provide that all-powerful backlink that all web sites or pages ought to have in webdom.
I just created a lens about my Yooper Gifts and want anyone out there to have a look. If you are not interested in anything Yooper related, that's quite fine by me...but if anything, if you're a serious web designer and promoter of any online ventures or products or services, seriously visit Squidoo and have a look around....it gets more interesting as you review the potential and the site is literally full of tens of thousands of web specialists, promoters, artists, designers and professionals.

I've recently launched stores online through Zazzle, which I highly recommend using to anyone who considers setting up an online shop. A few aspects which attracted me to Zazzle as opposed to CafePress was the fact Zazzle allows you flexibility in setting your own royalty earnings on specific items. Zazzle also allows you to set up multiple stores using the same password.....and ideally you can set up your username to coincide with specific keywords that pertain to your "store".
When previously researching CafePress, I discovered they charged members an extra fee to open new stores....so these two aspects that Zazzle offers, far outweigh anything CP has available. Am I bad-mouthing? I certainly hope it doesn't sound that weigh, but do the math and your better judgement ought to tell you what makes sense. Plus I have noticed their HTML allows for great meta tagging and keywording your pages so they optimize easily and get page placement very fast in the search results. Some of my new stores are geared to Yoopers, lawyers, truckers and computer geeks and high tech aficionados. Although I am preparing and planning other stores, these are my most current.

Lawyer Gifts - Calendars, Coffee Mugs, T-shirts, Caps, Greeting Cards & more

Trucker Gifts - Trucker cartoon calendars, T-shirts for trucking aficionados, caps, key chains and more

Gifts For Geeks - Computer Cartoon Calendars, t-shirts, greeting cards and more

Yooper Memorabilia - Yooper calendars, Yooper t-shirts, cards, magnets and more

Cartoon Gifts - Dan Rosandich cartoons on t-shirts, calendars, key chains, greeting cards etc.

I admit this may sound as though I am going against the grain but it won't be the first time I have been known to do it. Call me obstinate if you will. Think of Billy Hayes in that movie Midnight Express as he walked in the opposite direction of "The Wheel" while in that Turkish prison. Here I am on the Blogger platform, promoting the availability of my daily web cartoon as a WordPress plugin. Yes, I worked with a fantastic software and code writer to configure the availability of my cartoons you see each day on DansCartoons.com to offer my daily web comic as an actual plugin for WordPress aficionados.
Thanks to Michael Busch who is known for his dofollow blog search on Seo-Traffic-Guide.de.
The great thing about this particular cartoon feature plugin is it allows the owner of any WordPress blog to set the size or width of the cartoon to comfortably fit the column width of their choice, along with offering the user to set the thickness of the border around the daily comic I offer. This helps to set the image apart from other content on your blog pages, and will allow you to make the cartoon feature to stand out or be more "eye catching" on a specific part of your page.
Downloading is fast and simple, and easy installation instructions are provided. Download the cartoon plugin directly from the Word Press repository plugin page at: WordPress Cartoon Plugin and if you have specific questions, contact me at dan@danscartoons.com . The caveats to use my internet cartoon panel are very simple....free for non-commercial blogs or community sites or those which are not funded by industrial or corporate entities. If used on a corporate site, simply email with your company name and owner of the site to which the cartoon will appear, and give the number of monthly visitors to the page or pages on which the plugin appears and a quote for using the cartoon will be offered.
The internet cartoon I offer, updates on it's own, via a php script which resides in my web host's server so all you have to do is set it and forget it, so to speak. Your greatest concern may be where to place the cartoon and I suggest you add it to an editorial or opinion page or ideally, on a humor or jokes page you offer your visitors.
Don't forget, cartoon humor will lighten up the overall look or appearance of your blog or website. Cartoons are ideal in attracting visitors and most of all, my feature updates automatically at 2AM every 24 hours, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Try it out and you have nothing to lose! And you could enhance my cartoon by offering a suggestion box near the image to collect gags or idea suggestions for future cartoons . . . a way to initiate reader participation! Which is yet another way to add value to your site or blog!
