If you have ever Google comics, than the only thing will come up is DC and Marvel, Super Hero genre. When you asked the average adults if they read comics, they may say no or redirect you to their kids. I believe the average adult opinion have been influence by social media betrays of comics. Social media promote most of the time DC and Marvel everywhere. Google search engine will only pull up heroes genre. Many YouTubers will say that it is because of Google SEO system. But I have a feeling that is not the case, because I am sure that I am not the only comic writer who used SEO on their website.

It have been cover in other articles that Diamond Comic Distributors dictate that only DC and Marvel make it into major comic stores across the nation washing the competition. Marvel is own by Disney while DC is own by Time Warner Bros. However, Time Warner Bros is own by AT&T.

While Disney and Google have a huge Ad partnership which gives Disney access to multiple platform. So no matter how good your SEO is for your comic or book, Disney will get first dibs on a Google search if you have something in common with Disney productions.

Quote from article above: “Disney and Google share a passion for bringing quality content and information to everyone, everywhere,” wrote Philipp Schindler, Google’s Chief Business Officer, in a post announcing the partnership. “With this new relationship, Disney will bring its entire global digital video and display business onto the Google Ad Manager, which will serve as its core ad technology platform.”

Quote from article above:“We’re committed to helping businesses transform through our edge-to-edge capabilities. This collaboration with Google Cloud gives businesses access to a full suite of productivity tools and a highly secure, private network connection to the Google Cloud Platform,” said Roman Pacewicz, chief product officer, AT&T Business. “Together, Google Cloud and AT&T are helping businesses streamline productivity and connectivity in a simple, efficient way.”

And if you think that is crazy, Google and AT&T have a partnership over business cloud thought G Suite. So Google have created a separate network that all business can communicate to their employee. They can chat, video, streamline, and more on it. Ever tho Google have not came out and say that they have an ad partnership with AT&T like what they have with Disney, that does not mean that Google would treat Time Warner Bros less than Disney. In business you want to be careful about how you treat your business partnerships so it would not surprise me that DC would get more priority over little known comics and other creators.

It is a little scary how much control Google have over the internet. It is hard for new creator such as myself to stand out and be able to get in front of the right audiences. Google have been often me $150 for Ads for my website but they kept decline my ad but will not tell me why. They keep giving me a general answer and they have no way for me to talk with them about it. They don’t have person customer services for us small entrepreneur. It would not be so bad if they did not speak in code. Speaking code is there way of playing dumb so they can only help their over 1 Billion Club.

I would like to heard your thought on this topic. I would like to heard from other creator if they have similar problems or not. If I am mistaking and you found the Golden goose, pretty share.
