What makes some posts "invisible" on MyLot?

Everyone seems to want to learn more about Bubblews. Who got treated badly and what is still going on with the site. I wonder if it will ever die off. There is something to be said for a good title too. One that might be more apt to draw people in.

search me, hon. i've found folks 'round these parts usually respond more to gripes 'n complaints than serious schtuff.

A lot may be due to timing, or maybe the topic does not appeal to some. There are times when you can submit a quality piece of material and get very little response, followed by a mediocre chat about the day and get great response. General everyday chat seems easier for people to interact with.

I think if you hit a topic that is interesting to others, like the one about Bubblews since many people in myLot had been affected, you'd get overwhelmingly good response but if you write about something that may only interest a few, the post might go invisible. But I think it will also be the followers that you have. If they see your post then they might want to respond. And also how active you are on myLot, I guess.

I've made the experience myself. Posts on site related topics are *always* successful. I call this navel gazing. People love occupying themselves with themselves.

I think timing is a big issue. I'm about to give up UK day-time activity because it never makes any cents (pun intended) but I also think titles are very important.

ggggghe same thing happen to me Some I feel will not get many responses and they get on the hot pae others I didnot really do a lot to have almost fizzled theygot one or twogg

Yes, I also have the experience, where there is no one respond my discussion, and the other hand have many responses. Yes, it is difficult to make sure whether our discussion is interesting for members of this or not.

I would like to know the same thing. Maybe you will get a good answer on here.

Some topics are hot, others not so popular. I believe that also the time you post is important.

I thought the Bubblews thing had been laid to rest, I don't want to read about it any more. Regarding invisible posts - I think it's probably timing - who's about when you post.

I've gone over most of the usual answers and none fit perfectly. I am pretty sure, though, that the actual post doesn't have much to do with it. I think it might help to post something when lots of your followers are active. Each one who leaves a comment is potentially reaching out to their own circle of followers through the People list, and so on and on. That's the best theory I can come up with now.

I try not to pay attention to the visibility of my posts. Here we are paid for commenting, even if that is on the posts written by others. I write when I have something to say. If others comment, great. I look for posts written by people who interest me, no matter the title. If I didn't see yours, it was just timing.

Great photo for starters. I used to put the number of views down to timing but I think now the title has a lot to do with it. But it's hard to tell. I didn't expect my 'double standard' one to generate so much interest. I thought the title of 'panic in the bedroom' might get people in. So it's hard to say.

In my view the topics which users feel that they could relate to fetch more responses than other topics (including serious ones). Many users seems less interested in reading serious and lengthy topics

I think it all depends on the timing. If all your good connections are online when you post, you are most likely to get many responses no matter what your topic could be. But of course when you post topics that appeal to many, even your non connections will comment. Now the problem is how to detect which topics will appeal to most users.

There are several factors that play a role in posts being either ignored or being noticed. There are a few here whose posts get noticed and get good responses consistently no matter what they post. I have no idea why it is so. Probably the time zone factor. I have reconciled to the fact that my posts get average attention and I should accept that fact and move on. No use pining over it.

It does seem to be a bit like a pot luck dinner, but Bubblews and myLot do seem to score better than others. I've given up trying to work it out.

If you mention Bubblews, that will make the post show up in a lot of people's "interesting" discussion category. In spite of that fact that many people complain and protest about that, Bubblews is still a hot topic. As for the invisible one, I have not found music to be an especially successful topic on any site I have written on. I used to do a lot of music ones on Bubblews, but have not yet on myLot. I Imagine Lodi, or travelling or gig would not be in demand either. So, if you have tags that show up in a lot of people's "interesting" category, which means that they have written something with that same tag, then it has a better chance of showing up in the hot and top rated categorys. There again, lots of people say they don't look there, but obviously, they do.

I think the title is a very important part of visibility. When I'm looking for posts to read, I usually skip those with generic titles, or titles that don't mesh with my interests.
