While there are many items to consider when publishing an article on Triond, there is one significant thing that I haven’t seen mentioned. And that item is paramount you want the article to have high exposure. And even more so if it is a time-sensitive article.
A well written article doesn’t guarantee a success, in terms of generating hits and revenue. It takes research to make sure you have the proper key words and tags to draw in your readers. It also takes a topic that has interest to a high number of folks. There are many tools that you can use to help you achieve these parts of a successful article but there is one thing that, if not considered ahead of time, can sink an other wise well written, well researched and tagged article: timing.
Triond is based, more than likely, far away from where you live, work and write. To my knowledge, they are not a 24/7 operation. This difference in time-zones (between your location and Triond’s) must be factored in, especially if you have a time sensitive article.
Let me give you and example of what I mean. Recently I wrote an article that I researched the tags and keywords to make sure they were “hot” ones. They three terms I worked on building my article around were classified as “on fire” by Google. However, it took more than 12 hours from submission to publication and by that time none of the terms I used were even in the top 25 or 30, let alone still “on fire”. As a result, my article was no longer the timely gem it could have been and did not receive nearly as many hits as I had expected.

I have since been paying attention to how long it takes from submission to publication and realized there are some times that are better than other for sending in these time-sensitive pieces. Where you live will make this different, most likely, for you than it is for me. Therefore I suggest that you submit several articles over a week or more at different times and see what times and days are best for you. This should help you to receive more hits on time-sensitive material and generate more income on them as well.

Very interesting article, for me I find that my article are published late in the day, but occasionally an article or two will take a few days to get published, I don’t know if it is because they have their own research to do, but like you said just because some things is hot today, we don’t always know when it will hit the the internet.
great article

I wrote an article about cell phone addiction, not to offend anyone but to let them know how seriously dangerous it is to operate a moving vehicle and talk on a cell phone. out of 65 hit only 4 people like the article. But the title alone made people curious.
