 | | Keenspot's 2003 revenues were up 81%, to $188,467, and recently Crosby moved the business into a 40,000-sq.-ft. former school building in Cresband, S.Dak., and in the process added a shipping department. |
 | | Crosby said while the majority of Keenspot's sales come from online advertising, "book and merchandising revenue are quickly rivaling it." Net profits are split 50/50 with the Keenspot cartoonists, who are signed exclusively to the site. |
 | | And while Keenspot claims to have two million unique monthly viewers, Crosby said, "We don't rely on our Web audience to sell through our books in stores, but there's definitely an overlap." He added, "We do everything we can to direct our millions of readers to the stores that carry Keenspot titles. |
