Design Meme

The start of a new year is a popular time for “best of” lists. Here at DesignMeme.com we’ve decided to publish our own “best of” list of sorts.

PageRank is Google’s way of deciding a page’s importance. It’s the numeric value assigned to represent how important each page is on the web. When one page links to another, it is effectively casting a vote for that page. Links from pages with a higher PageRank are given more weight in calculating the overall PageRank.

This list doesn’t rank sites in terms of artwork, writing, humour, frequency of updates, quality of web design, or even number of hits. It’s just one way of looking at the relative success of the marketing efforts of these comic websites in relation to one another. What makes the list interesting (to me, anyway) is that it includes all types of comic websites: web, print, indie, publisher, news, discussion, blog.

How do the best know comic websites compare to each other? The following list provides some interesting results! I’ve included a few sites that aren’t strictly comic sites, but have a passing association, and should help to gauge the sites overall rankings on the web.
