"And now a word from our sponsors..."

Surely you have seen those banner ads at the bottom of pages and the
front of the Silver Surfer Website. Maybe you've clicked on some and saw what those
sites had to offer. Maybe you've also wondered exactly how the Silver Surfer Website
is sponsored by us having those banners there.
So, I am going to introduce you to the major sponsors of the Silver
Surfer Website and give you information on how they help us and how they can help you.
- The first site to go over would have to be AnotherUniverse.Com.
This site is an excellent resource for comic book fans and the source for much of
the latest comic book news. It features weekly articles on comics, sci-fi movies
& television, Anime, and action figures. It features the Daily Buzz, which also
offers the latest news on those items (which I read daily). And it has a comic store
of back issues and advance ordering on comics, toys, and collectibles. It is an
excellent resource. And everytime you take a visit to their site from ours, it gives
us 15 cents. Their financial support is very helpful at paying our monthly web
hosting bill and web designing tools. And when you click on their banner from our
site, it opens on a new page, so you will not need to worry about leaving our site (becase
we all know you wouldn't want to do that.)
Our next supporter
is Amazon.Com. Surely
you've heard of them. They are the largest book store on the Internet. They
also sell music, movies, and software. Currently, our store features the best
selection of books, movies, and music that Amazon.Com has to offer, which features the
Silver Surfer. This includes items like the Ultimate Silver Surfer, which is
comprised of several short stories of the Silver Surfer, the Essential Silver Surfer,
which reprints issues #1-18 of the first volume, Fantastic Four: Redemption of the Silver
Surfer, which is a full-length novel starring the Surfer, How to Draw the Silver Surfer,
and many comic paperbacks. They also sell Joe Satriani's Surfing With the Alien CD,
which was inspired by the Silver Surfer, and the hit Marvel-movie, BLADE. They
support us by giving us 5-15% of all purchases you make through our Amazon.Com affiliate store and even
on items you find after getting to their store though our links to items.
- Another great supporter of out site is Ruby Lane.
Ruby Lane's auction site searches though all of the major auction engines, including eBay,
to find the best items that fit your keyword. It is truly a good resource for anyone
looking for rare Silver Surfer collectibles and comics. And now, Ruby Lane allows
you to search their directory straight from our site. Not only does weekly searching
for new items help you find great stuff (or spend too much money, like I did!) it also
gives us 10 cents for each time you search for new itmes. Here, try their search
engine below. Results open on a new page.
Another great auction site is the Comic Book Exchange. They are the largest comic book auction
site, with Silver Age and more modern comics. You can also put your own items up for
sale there also. But besides giving us 7 cents per click, this great resource also
helps us by adding a link to our site from their large directory of fanpages, publishers,
and other comic-related websites, which means another great resource for you to find other
cool comic websites.
And lastly, Microsoft now offers a search
called the Sidewalk Yellow Pages. You can use them for searching for online
stores or for local stores in your area, making them a perfect resource for comic fans
looking for a local comic store in their area or in an area they are visiting! And
by clicking on their banner, Microsoft sends us 15 cents for web hosting and designing
fees.
Well, now you know a little bit about our sponsors,
how they help us, and what they can do for you. Now give them all a visit.
