An Interview with Ryan North (part one)

Authored by: Oualawouzou on Sunday, February 04 2007 @ 06:34 PM GMT

I have two questions to suggest:

1) PW has been growing, albeit slowly.  Are there plans to speed up the service's growth, or is the slow-but-steady current system fits his vision better?

2) Are there any plans to promote PW to the non-webcomic community directly, or will diversity have to come from word-of-mouth and such?  In fact, is diversity even important in whatever he has planned for PW's future?

Good point - we've been talking a lot about extending PW to the non-webcomics world, but all the while we've been assuming that Ryan actually wants that to happen.  Perhaps we should find out his intentions first.

I'm a non-webcomic advertiser. There currently very few sites that I've found to place my ads effectively (IMO)

I'm very interested in knowing about new sites that sign up to PW.

Would it be possible to have some kind of email alert for new sites (ad spaces) that use a defined set of tags? (ie: Women, DIY, Family)

Well that feature is already there. You can perform a search for keywords and then ask to be informed if they find more ad-boxes that live up to this search-criteria. So knock yourself out. I use it, and have found it to be very functional.

Obviously I'm new. Thanks.

There does seem to be a small learning curve, and the FAQ doesn't seem to cover most of the basics.

Ok add then an exclusionary search -webcomic -comic

Thanks again.

You misunderstood me. I am new to this too. But I studied the project very intensely the last couple of days. You need to go and make a search and then click a button saying something like "Notify me via email if a new item shows up with these keywords". After you click that you get mails whenever there is something new with your keywords. I think however "webcomic comic" would flood your inbox. Could you maybe register or log in, simply because it makes it easier to know who you are dealing with, and thus makes it easier to help.

my question is: what new content can we expect to see within the next few months, if any? and will current policies, such as 2 day free ads, and the bidding structure ever change or be modified or is this it?

I would like to ask:
1. When you were planning this, just how big did you want it to get? Do you intend for this to be a serious competitor for AdSense outside of the webcomics community?
2. How big a success do you think Project Wonderful has been, thus far? Meeting expectations? Exceeding them?
3. Are there resources available to help it expand? Is PW still a one-man show, or have you / are you considering hiring people to help you out? Is it taking up enough of your time to make that sort of thing necessary, and earning enough money to justify it?
4. Will there ever be a method by which a user can place lots of bids at once?
5. In your opinion, are there enough advertisers to go around, or have we given too much supply for their demand?
5. Is there anything that us users can do to help Project Wonderful grow and expand?

(PS - sorry for the delay, folks, I've just got back from the USA and I'm having a few technical problems - bloody voltage differences and cheap power supplies. I'll run our questions past Ryan in the next couple of days - if you have questions, now's the time to post them)
