For the first time, SW is not included in the top 200 comedy podcasts on iTunes. What does that mean?

iTunes is not popular anymore. People download the show from Sick and Wrong website.

I had to re-subscribe for some unknown reason, but I still download episodes direct via itunes

Actually, it does matter as it's the only way we are able to attract new listeners. Since we do not have the money to advertise, we rely on word of mouth and exposure on itunes. But I do agree with you that we need more propaganda. I've been thinking of holding a viral video contest where the vid that gets the most hits on youtube will win a good prize and the second and third place winners will get tees and a pic of a nude Wackerle holding a superior being over his genitalia.
Where would you advertise if you had the money? With what keywords?
I just checked, 22 people/month google "nigger comedy podcast" and other variations. That's like zero.
18000 people google "comedy podcast", so if I were you, I'd go with search engine optimization. Your site's PR is 6, which is fucking godlike. The problem is that all 400+ links pointing to your site, their anchor is "sick and wrong podcast" (it's the text that's being shown instead of the url), while it SHOULD BE "comedy podcast", and that's very very important to google. So in that sense, you're fucked. And hiring someone, that's out of question, it's very costly...
My chick used to work in SEO, but she's a bricklayer now. Doesn't like brain work. The only way for you is to find a really devoted fan who knows how to SEO...
I first came across S&W via the itunes podcast page. I think I typed in something like "dark comedy" and it was one of the only results that appeared. It was the title "Sick and Wrong" that caught my initial attention, although it's not a term I would have randomly used in a google search.

I thought we were listed under "comedy podcast." What is a PR? I'm unfamiliar with that term. What would an SEO be able to do for us? I think most people find podcasts via iTunes, well at least in the US and Sharia land. The problem is iTunes gives us very little love and rarely lists us in the other people subscribed to these podcasts category. I'm not quite sure how ITunes ranks their podcasts. I've read that it's arbitrary--but I'd wager there is some payola involved--which is the reason our ranking tends to fluctuate.
And if I had an advertising budget, I'd probably put small ads on sites like the Onion or Vice or Funny or Die.
