Comics, Books, DVDs and Action Figures ~Why CBO?

Why should you try to promote your comics and  books (only printed copies are accepted no pdf or other online files), DVD, action figure line, etc., on CBO?

The short answer is that it is not compulsory. No one is obliged to send anything for review.  Publishers and companies decide that.  But there are reasons why it might be a good idea.

Absolutely no press or advertising campaign guarantees sales.  That is a fact.  However, to get people aware of your product and whether it is any good, though again not guaranteeing sales, is a vital part of business.

And getting people interested in action figures and pop culture to know your product is out there is something Comic Bits online can do.

I could post some staggering figures about how many sites feed off CBO postings, re~posts and so on. However, I decided to stick with only CBO/Blogger stats.

Page views daily              2~3,000
Page views last month     99, 543
Page views all time         3,147,092

So when a review or posting is published it is seen by 2~3,000 people.  As you will see from popular posts (to the right), some of those are quite old but still get viewed in high numbers such as Titan Books:The Secret Service -Kinsman which was first posted in 2014!  Others such as reviews for Cinebook The 9th Art titles and so on are still checked out in enough numbers to make them keep appearing in the stats.

CBO is not just about "post now. Forget it" and with a world wide audience new viewers drop by all the time and that means posts get a new audience. Far East, Africa, New Zealand, Australia, China, Europe, united States, Canada ~quite seriously, countries I never knew existed until they popped up in stats!  Sadly, though we get views from there, nothing really turns up from China to review.

The Kick Ass 2 DVD review is still being checked out. That surprises me.  Some of the old toy postings still get high views.  Comic history and pop culture related books that were reviewed  6 years ago still get checked out.

So, you may not want to pay for advertising but if you want your product to get noticed then CBOis the place.

Simple as that. CBO has been going since 1998 and on this current site since 2011 so it isn't a fly~by~night temporary interest project!
