Articles

I was just wondering....

by Cindy Bolley HHCTB?
I was wondering if anyone actually READS these posts.

In particular I am talking about people who create "Campaigns". Let's say that someone takes the time to write an article.... not that copy and paste crap that we see so much of.... then they promote that article using credits. They have their choice of a few options when setting it up. Some people think that ticking the choice that allows for MORE credits for more longer viewing time is the best option.

The thinking is that they will at least start to read what is posted because they are not able to claim credits for a certain amount of time. So if I were the one creating the campaign I would think that would be the best option... what do you think?

Now that the campaign has been created and posted..... it does not take long for people to see that they have a new way to earn credits...... Some may tick the LIKE button... but most just simply click the button that allows them to collect the credits for viewing that article....

The article will probably get in the "Feature" and the owner is able to recoup some of those spent credits.

So what about you?  Did you click for the credits or did you actually read what I wrote.... Might be interesting to see.....

Actually read what you wrote, Cindy. Not often I do with campaigns, as the stuff I seem to get through is mostly the same, same junk that has no interest to me. "lookii.com" is aptly named, but how many of the present Apsense clientel will actually take notice? or more importantly. take action!

Excellent... that is 1 that read it.. or perhaps 2 if I count both of you. Thanks for helping with my experiment. A few years ago I was helping with getting the word out about Koolii.... And to be honest with you I have not even checked out Lookii... for that reason.

I am one of those people who hate change.... I will admit it. I joined a new social site several months ago.. heck I am not able to recall the name of it now.
To me it was no fun.. none... people were able to gain points for being active.. that was all well and good but it was obvious that they were just posting to post to "be active" I have not been back in months.. You know how I hate SPAM.. that was all I could think of that place....

I can't help it.. I like it here..... Call me crazy!....Just need tot get rid of some of the rif raf.
If only I had a magic Boot Button!

At the age of over 70....we both hate change, and if change is to come, it seems to take ages to assimilate, but hey ho, we plod on, and enjoy what we are doing. If you find that "Boot button" then please share!. LOL.

I am not to far behind you with that age thing.... I have a feeling it will get even harder as the years get added on.... I will indeed Share that button if I am lucky enough to find it....

ApSense could really do with moving the claim button to a random place within the article so people have to hunt for it. I actually left a site similar to ApSense aas I really felt no one read my articles, clicked the ads or anything else except make friends for the sake of having more people to promote to. It doesn't mater what you offer, what you write or how helpful you are, these places are an almost total waste of time when it comes to attracting customers. They fail as social sites and as a subscriber attraction. It's why I seldom come here.

Hi Steven... I like it here... always have...Making friends is always nice but it is only one of the reasons that I like APSense.

I use APSense to get my articles read by Sam and Joe Spider.... Posting Good Original Content here at APSense and also adding GOOD COMMENTS is what those 2 guys like... I like to have my stuff seen.... and I have found using APSense is one of the very best ways to do that!

BTW.. I like your idea of hiding the CLAIM button!

Well I guess my answer is that I read articles, answers and updates only when the content is worth reading. Cindy you are one of the few who write interesting topics of discussion. Thanks.

@ Clindy Bolley, I appreciate your thoughts, Yes, I read this article and come to the point that running the campaign is not matter, simple earn the credit. You share your content to people and If you write an article by own words and quality works, it is good to share on social networking and referral site but if no one reads this article that is really bad.

@Art Crafty....Your making me blush... thanks for the kind words!
@Anubhav.. Thanks for your input.... and thanks for reading and helping me with my experiment. Every morning I log into APSense.. and go to the article section to see who has posted a new one so that I can comment on it... Commenting is so important...it helps both the person who wrote it and the one commenting as well.. It is sad that I have to wade through pages and pages of copy and paste crap to find one..It is such a pleasure to be able to interact with people like yourself.
I post about it all the time.. I use the article section here at APSense.. so that Sam and Joe Spider index it.... and I can be seen..
Gotta love a show off!
