I feel like product placements cheapen everything involved, from the product to the medium it is shown through. If you do end up going this route, which might be a smart business decision, you'll have to walk the product placement line very carefully. Don't push the products very hard at all, but find a way to keep them from being so subtle that nobody notices it. Advertising is the backbone of the internet so it has become more than understandable to run banners and/or text ads on your site, but taking the step to integrating ads into your actual product (content) seems like the advertising is being taken too far. Just my 2c :) I’m not a big fan of selling ads inside the comics themselves. I feel like product placements cheapen everything involved, from the product to the medium it is shown through.
