I don't really know what else to put in here besides...
"What's up with that?"
Watchmen ad down already?
This topic is locked from further discussion.
"Comic Vine still has the ads. I imagine it's probably more effective there anyway."
So...they should have it in both places.
Maybe they payed for a short trial, and if that went well they'd buy more ad space? That happens a lot in the advertising industry. And them being gone doesn't necessarily mean that they don't plan on buying more ad space, they might just have not finalized the deal yet.
Disclaimer: I know absolutely nothing about the advertising industry. I just made all that up. It sounds believable though, so it might be right.

Giant Bomb doesn't pay for the ads, they get paid to host the ads.

I assumed people would assume I meant that without me explicitly saying it."Maybe they payed for a short trial, and if that went well they'd buy more ad space?

The deal probably involved having ads on Comic Vine for a longer period of time, because that audience would be more likely to click the ad and buy the product.
If they find that the Giant Bomb ads worked well, then they might return. But for now, head over to Comic Vine. Click the ads and buy the motion comic. Whiskey Media deserves your support.

Ahhh, ok.
I'm pretty sure that one thread about the Watchmen ad is plenty.
