  Hi Everyone,

  I just included a plug for this contest over at the blog.

  In addition to the winning author interview, I will also do a second article discussing the top authors, so if your stats aren’t as high, it still may be a good idea to include them here.

  Hi Ruby and Ken,
  Thanks for the e-mails about trouble leaving comments at the bottom of this article. I will contact the editors and ask that you do the same to see if we can work out the bug.

  Hello, Everyone,
  I’ve contacted Triond about posting troubles and if you’ve tried to comment and leave your page view stats and have experienced difficulty, e-mail me at Triond or swing by my writing blog to get contest details: http://www.writeandearnaliving.com

  Wonderful idea, Athlyn.
  My article with the greatest hit is “10 (more) Bizarre Deaths in History” with 50,783 views.
  http://www.purpleslinky.com/Trivia/History/10-More-Bizarre-Deaths-in-History.330669
  I know there are many other Triond articles with more 100,000 views.

  Hi A.C.,

  Can you please give the total view stats? I can’t consider you for the contest without having a figure for comparison.

• R J Evans
  January 31st, 2009 at 1:52 pm

  Hi Athlyn – what a fun idea… OK, here we go.

  I’m kind of ashamed of this one because it took only about an hour to write but it seemed to hit a nerve with people (despite the dreadful screenshots!).

  It was 10 Wonderful Websites With Which to Waste Time at Work (I was proud of the alliteration though!).

  It can be found here – http://www.webupon.com/Web-Talk/10-Wonderful-Websites-with-Which-to-Waste-Time-at-Work.135360

  It was published in June 2008 and is still pulling in the hits.

  As of today, the total is 127,370.

  We scratch our head sometimes when articles we take forever to write bomb but other articles (and this was a really simple idea at the time even though it was then jumped on by *everyone* lol!) do so much better.

  Ho hum!

• Athlyn Green
  January 31st, 2009 at 6:38 pm

  Absolutely awesome, RJ! It’s exciting to see this contest taking off.

  I’ll make a request of everyone to spread the word, if they have time.

  And, remember, even if your page views aren’t as high, it’s beneficial to enter the contest because I’ll be compiling a list of the top 10 articles, which should see increased readership. As well, by listing your URL here, readers, who may be interested in your topic, will click on it and go to your article.

  Swing by my writing blog http://www.writeandearnaliving.com for contest information.

  Hi all!

  Echoing Brian’s words, my articles aren’t in the same league as the ones listed here. However, just to have some data out there so we can see how it all adds up, here’s far and away my top article: “Fatherhood: What I Want My Kids to Say About Me.”

  http://www.gomestic.com/Family/Fatherhood–What-I-Want-my-Kids-to-Say-About-Me.478875

  As of this morning it was sitting at 202 views.

  Thanks for the invitation, Athlyn.

  I’m kind of embarrased by the article which had the most page views, because it only took me about an hour to put together, and another half an hour to write up. I’ve written so many literary pieces, which sadly, haven’t had the exposure this one has had. Go figure . . .

  Please spread the word if you can think of anyone that should be included.

  I’ve sent out some invites but, of course, can’t send them out to everyone, so if you know of someone, please let them know.

  And if you are reading this and haven’t received an invite, please understand that I’ve tried to contact most of you.

  You guys are proving once again, what a supportive and great writer community we have here at Triond.

  Songs worth listening too..
  141,249 views….
  it got a lot of mixed reviews.. some people thought it was a “best songs” list and of course everyone has their own ideas on music.. so it was a tough one to deal with for me, because it went farther than I expected and got hated so much.. when really.. its just an opinion.. and we all have those right?

  most of my links are on Gomestic – pets and such…which have done okay but none are close to this one for success.

  Hi B,
  Glad you had success with this article even if it caused a stir.

  Hi Mark,
  Thanks for your entry. I saw the article about nudibranchs and wondered what they were.

  Hi Ianne,
  Good title + subtitle. No wonder it got so many views.

  Some authors have experienced trouble posting their comments. If this is the case, please e-mail me with your stats so that you are entered into the contest and contact Triond editors.

  Athlyn Green,
  This idea is really good. I would love to participate in this contest. I am a bit shy that I didn’t get anytime more than ten thousand page views.
  I will get back with all the titles that I have with good page views that made me happy!

• Athlyn Green
  February 8th, 2009 at 5:20 pm

  Hi Fornis,

  To enter the contest, please provide the URL of your article with the highest page views and the Total number of views. I need this information to determine the winner and the 10 runners-ups.

  This is a great chance to draw attention to articles that have been the most popular with readers, to bump up visits to your writer portfolio, and to increase your page views.

• Athlyn Green
  February 9th, 2009 at 2:12 pm

  Just a reminder: I need the actual total views not an estimate for your contest entry to be valid.

  Also, if anyone experiences problems posting here, let me know and I will try to post the info. for you so that your article URL is included here and your article gets the exposure it deserves.

  Thanks

  Athlyn Green,

  Sorry, I went back for a longer time. After taking a look at my articles and their page views, I found some interesting things. I may not win the contest (looking at relatively), but would like to share some articles that did well.

  This article has got 3570 page views so far. It keeps on getting, I don’t know from where. It is somewhat a mystery to me.
  bizcovering.com/Investing/Knowing-the-Book-Value-Per-Share.27148

  This article has got 1620 page views so far. I can understand that it is an appealing topic.
  healthmad.com/Addiction/What-are-the-Effects-of-Smoking-on-Productivity-At-Work.19901

  This has got 1253 views.
  gomestic.com/Consumer-Information/Standby-Power-or-Vampire-Power.59351

  This is my first article long time back. It is consistent all time. Accumulated 1149 views.
  bizcovering.com/Investing/A-Short-Term-Trading-Strategy.27128

  After doing all this I just checked the earnings per view and concluded that the earnings are actually half of what was earlier. But at the same time views have recently gone up so much, that overall the effect is compensated. So I think we should be glad that Triond has good advertisers who are continuing through this recession.

  Thanks,
  -fornls.
