Does anyone [obsess over their read count and] do things to boost it [apart from composing interesting and well-thought out posts?]. [And you can do these things without obsessing].


For example ;

1. use of an alias if you are an abrasive or argumentative personality, or have developed dedicated enemies on the various boards [that way the message is not ignored because of the messenger];

2. use of clever [or so you'd like to believe] titles?;

3. use of eye-catching terms and phrases [for example "worry,"  "problem," "need advice,"  "have you ever...," "what's been your experience," "what do you think?," etc...;

4.resort to simple but time-proven, tried-and-true literary devices [irony, sarcasm, humor, double-entendre, plays on words, etc...

5. other stugff i'm too brain-addled to think of and haven't yet tried?


A GREAT holiday to all!

After reading your post, I went back and did a search on my own posts and was shocked to see that one of them got read over 750 times.

On a side note, I noticed that if I click the 'view all' button for a thread, although i can read the sub-messages, the counter for that message does not go up.

So don't obsess over the 'read count'. The number may not be indicative of how many people actually saw the post. (Unless of course the count on the first post in the thread is low, then you might have something!)

Why do I need to use an alias?  My handle already is an alias.

I have come to find that I enjoy writing and the responses I get from it.

Who'd of thunk it from a sexually oriented website?

Ciara:  Isn't there a tree that needs more tinsel?  :o)
