Improve your writing Triond: My Best Article Has Received Over 285,000 Views, Earned Over $800’s and Counting 
Posted on September 28th, 2008 in Online Writing by Joie Schmidt]]>36
Why are some of my articles more popular than others? This article explains why I believe this article has and continues to be increasingly popular and how you can enjoy the same and greater success from all your writing endeavors.
I think it’s safe to guess that if you hav published more than a handful of articles on Triond or other sites, you have probably noticed a great variance of views that each article experiences. I’m still trying to uncover why there is such a great difference between the popularity of my work and how to continue to produce work that is highly viewed and enjoyed.
So, what I’ve decided to do is analyze why I think my best article continues to grow in popularity, steadily and rewardingly every single day.

Okay, so here goes:
My #1 ranked most popular article:
Was consistently received about 100 views a day. Then it changed to 200 views per day. Now, that number is steadily increasing. In fact, when I google the main subject name, I was blown away to find that it appears as the #1 search result.
Amazing; I tell this story for a few reasons. First of all, for people who think that their work is just falling into the internet universe only to be viewed a few times, you never know when you’ll write something that will become a huge success. Keep working, keep believing. When I first started with Triond, my views were small and I wondered what I was doing wrong, but I stuck with the love and passion of writing in my heart and it continues to reward my efforts.

Why do I think this article has done so well and continues to do well? Many reasons; the topic is hot. One of the biggest universal complaints I notice from people is that they feel tired or lethargic at one point of time during the day. Secondly, the subject matter is health and finding a way to improve yours. Overall, the articles I publish that center around health are always the most consistently and highest viewed articles.
In addition, I believe the continued growing popularity has to do with the fact that it is an article that people want to leave comments on. I have many articles that people continue to view, but do not continue to leave consistent comments.
Why? I believe people leave comments on this particular reason for a few reasons. They have knowledge about the subject and can add their knowledge, thus, helping others, something that doubly makes them feel good and they can also seek help or advice from others.

And then I began to realize that my article became bigger than me; it took on a “life” of its own. It literally became a forum for people who are really concerned about the best way to improve their health. Just by sharing my simple story, it opened the door for others to do so; and in doing so, they are helping millions of others who want to find the best solution for their problems. Some readers may never end up taking a B12 shot, but upon reading the comments left from people who have greater knowledge about the subject than me, others will be enabled to make informed and wiser decisions about their health. It can’t get any better than that.
I also feel that because I do take the time to answer all the comments on this article, more readers feel that what they have to say is important to the writer and they are more inclined to leave comments. I truly do care and I do my best to research questions asked, many on subjects I know very little about, but I do it as a thank you for the comment and because I just want the very best for everyone in this world. For some of my other articles, I must admit that it’s been tougher to respond to all the comments. The reasons vary, but in the end, I believe it’s important to focus your attention on what’s most valued and successful in your life. When you do this, the rewards double, triple, and never stop growing.

And, lastly, I think its popularity has to do with the fact that I continue to think about it and link it to as many other articles as possible. In fact, one of my goals is to make sure that all my articles have links to other relevant articles I have written. From research, I learned that linking is one way that search engines somehow figure out what articles should be placed higher up in search results. The more links, the more popular an article appears. Whether this is true or not, it makes perfect sense.
Now when you decide to place links of your articles in various places, this must be done thoughtfully. You must realize that “spamming” on any level will not bring you what you want, and that is prosperity and bringing good feelings to those who read your work. All it does is make the majority of people feel as though you don’t care about their work, time, etc. And, for those who try to be as nice as possible, well you might enjoy a few views, but in the end, you will deter a loyal audience more so than anything else.
When I started out, I had to learn the hard way, but luckily, I learn quickly! I left a few links myself when I commented thinking that because the subject matter was similar the author would appreciate it. Not so. And, though my intentions were good, I soon realized that by doing so it was like I was saying to a person who was not even my friend, “Okay because I cooked you dinner now you have to cook me dinner.”
We all know that when you do something, people never want to feel obligated to have to do something back. Your friends simply do nice things for you because they want to of their own volition. So when you start linking your articles be sure to leave them on your articles, websites, blogs, etc. If you enjoy writing articles about health link your health related articles throughout your work, down below, or wherever you think they will be viewed the most. This is truly a smart way to increase your article views because if readers already love your writing style and subject matter and want more, they can quickly find more of your work.
While readers can also simply click your name to find a list of your work, the manner in which Triond articles are catalogued is by date and not subject making specific searches a time consuming experience for your audience; one that most would opt to avoid. And those rare exceptionally interested readers spend extra time shifting through page after page of your work instead of being able to use that time to read your work. Eliminate this obstacle. Make it easier for readers to view your work!
These are some thoughts regarding my article’s success. I’m still pondering this subject.
