I haven't had any respect or haven't taken any notice of what is on the hot contents list for a long time now because with a few exceptions the quality of work is abysmal. Don't get me wrong, i am not a 'literary' snob (I just appreciate being able to follow what I am reading). I am not a massive contributor to Triond and what I have been writing is as much for my own sake, in a sense, as it is to offer a bit of diversion to people who spend time online in places like Triond. I think you are right if people judged all our writings by what is on the hot contents list then they would think the quality of work overall to be poor (and that is not the case). Again thank you for your article. As far as I am concerned it is another winner whether it makes the hot content list or not All the best Thank you for this article.

My apologies if I am repeating. A lot of people are saying that they have x amount of views on their article, and that doesn't shoot them to the hot content list. Maybe, just maybe it is not the overall amount of views in total for that article, but how many views in a set amount of time? For instance, Joe Bloggs article has an overall view count of 600, but only 3 were made in the last 24 hours, whereas Jane Doe's article has an overall view count of 150, and 60 views were made in the last 24 hours. I am a newbie, have only got 5 articles published and one draft. I am not on the hot contents list. But this is just my opinion. Happy writing!

I sit here celebrating the fact that 30 people have clicked! I don't think I will become a millionaire on this site! I started 3 weeks ago and have put up about 100 photographs (yes they are good ones) and 20 articles (including pending articles) and I have so far made $1.30! Are there more lucrative spots to go to? Message me if you know of one! I write good content that is not too bad grammatically and is usually a good read.

I used to get up there quite a bit for a while, but now, my articles with over a thousand reads aren't, no matter how quickly they get those reads or who comments or what the title is, or where it's put on the internet, or ....well, yeah, I don't get it either. I think it really is just picked out by random by those in charge, some from established writers like RJ Evans, and some just...picked out. “She said from the hot content list…” ;p Seriously, I am right there with you.

I, too am baffled by the formula. I guess they won't tell us or else we'd all still be asking why didn't this or that writer make it to "hot content" even if the formula was followed. lol! Great write up Louie. It’s a part of Triond that remains to be a mystery. I, too am baffled by the formula.
