The site traffic has gone up a lot lately, and I have been trying to figure out why more people are stopping to read the series when they land on the home page then they did in the past.

I’m guessing the later pages are more attractive than the early pages: better drawing, more character interaction, and more fantastical sets and costumes. People are more likely to go back and give the series a read than if they just land on an earlier page which shows people running around an alley.

Just a theory. All I know is that a very high percentage of people who see one page go on to read more.

I am very appreciative!

Well, you’ve also finally passed all the “set up” stuff and are really into the space opera plot.
😀

Or maybe it’s just that the word is getting around that you ARE putting the whole thing on the web, and people are giving it a try… and liking it.

Hard to say. We have considerably more online readers than we have book sales. I guess a good deal of them are new to the project.

The good thing is that even if many of them are from overseas and unlikely to buy the books, their web traffic helps fund the project.

I had little luck getting paid for my foreign editions, so I am actually better off giving A Distant Soil away online and raising revenue from advertising.

I truly appreciate that people here are coming to read it instead of reading pirated editions. Pirating kills my ability to raise money to finance the final chapter.
