How to Make the Triond Hot Users List
The Hot Users list on Triond is goal for all writers who use this content website. The question is: How do you make that list?
I have been writing on Triond for just about two months and have to date submitted around 50 articles. I notice there are some hot users on the list who have written less than this although they have been associated with Triond for much longer. What is the criteria for making the hot users list? Is there one? Or perhaps the whole thing is totally random.
Is there anything a relatively new user like me can do to appear on among the hot users? I suppose the same question applies to the hot content articles. What is it that makes an article one for inclusion among the hot content articles on the main page? I am interested to know how this worked for some of the long-standing writers here on Triond.
How long was it before you made the hot users list? Was it based on the time since you joined or was it the volume of articles? Is there some other element involved that I’m not aware of? I do enjoy reading articles here on Triond and tend to do so randomly if some subject catches my eye. Does it help to stick with a specific subject or is a variety of subjects better?
I like the Triond set up and find it a very good website to the eye. Associated Content is a bit messy by comparison and not so pleasing to look at. I plan to write more for Triond and see what the results are by the end of the year. Who knows, I might just make that hot users list somewhere along the way. I hope some of my fellow Trionders will offer some helpful comments on the questions raised above. Happy writing!

I’m a bit mystified too. I’ve been with Triond since april 08 and I’ve had hot content once and have been listed as a hot user since then. Beats me. Just keep producing interesting stuff and know how to package and market it – like everything else.

I’ve been writing with Triond for about three months now. I made the hot content list within a couple of weeks and the hot users list within a month. I think that it depends on how many views each article gets. I did write an article on how to pick a good topic but to tell you the truth, it really seems random. Sometimes my articles make the hot content list with only a few dozen views while other articles with hundreds don’t make it at all. I think that the editors of the site have a fair bit of leeway on what makes “hot content”. And it seems to me at least, that once you make the “hot users” list, you’re bound to stay there for a while no matter what you do. It seems like if enough people like your article, it just seems to propagate itself. The article that I have on the hot content list right now about funny personal ads, received over 10,000 views in one day. You’ve got to develop a following of readers who like your work. Make friends, comment on other’s work, and try to find inspiration in your life for things to write about. If you find something cool, write it. Good luck and keep writing!

Wow, Paula, that’s really impressive — 10,000 views in one day! I’ve written about a dozen articles since I joined last month, and the most views I got in a day was about 200. My all-time total views for one article, about Television in the 1950s, is 860. By the way, that one was a puzzler — it stopped at around 400 views a week after I published it, then all of a sudden two weeks later it starting gaining views again, and went up an additional 300 views in a couple of days. I still don’t know how that happened. I’ve published a lot of poetry on Triond, but that doesn’t get as many views. Am I on the “hot users” list? I’ve never seen my name there, but a Triond member told me one of my articles made “hot content”. Still figuring out how this thing works.

Fairly new with Trond. Started December 30, 2008 but have written well over 100 poems and articles, mostly poems. Have you caught up with Paula and John’s page views. I have emailed them with questions as wel. Great article.

I’ve always wondered how you get your article noticed on the hot content list.
