Times Read Feature - Special Sneak Preview

[Laurel]

We're working on the by-now-infamous "Times Read" feature, again, and I thought it would be fun to give you BB'ers a sneak preview. This shows how many times each story has been read/viewed by Literotica visitors. The numbers only update once every 24 hours right now, but it does seem to be stable. That's a big improvement over the last few times we tried.

I'm pleasantly surprised to see just how many views some of these stories are getting.

This is not formatted, as it is just a test page. Assuming nothing goes wrong, we'll start integrating this information into the site in the next few weeks.

Wow!

I think I love you. And I thought this was a request to read the New York Times!

Seriously, thanks so much for all of the effort.

Although, I'm starting to think that maybe I should write an incest story...goodness gracious!

Fantastic!!

This is GREAT Laurel! I think it's an even truer picture of what stories seem to appeal to the reader...(And yes, though it seems Incest stories have a monopoly on what gets read the most), I think that it at least will boost the spirit's of many of the writers out there who've been complaining about "votes".

It will be nice to have two units of measure as to a successful story!


Thank you to everyone who's worked on this!

Love it too

What a great added feature to Lit, ya'll are just so darn great .

I'm curious, is there a way to see a date when the story was published. I bet the top 100 stories are the older ones. (Just trying to assage my soul a little here )

 

[bluntforcemama]

Wow! I never realized what a big thing incest seems to be.

 

[The_old_man]

Thank you both! Manu as well. The programing effort is much appreciated!

Thanks Laurel for the great work on this feature. The numbers are astounding and very encouraging.

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

Wow. Those numbers are amazing. Do you get the feeling that nothing is getting done anywhere? LOL

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

You know what I just noticed? Most of the stories on this list begin with the letter "A", and usually as the word "A", which leads me to believe that people looking for a story look alphabetically.

Want your story read? Title it "A AAA Alcoholic Gets Laid".

 

[RisiaSkye]

grrr..damn double

..

 

[RisiaSkye]

Want your story read? Title it "A AAA Alcoholic Gets Laid".

Which explains why nobody's written "Zookeepers' Convention" (Group)

Then again, maybe there's a better explanation for that omission.

Hi Laurel,
Just wondering how, when and if this feature will be integrated into the site. Thanks

 

[Guest]

Zookeepers' Convention

Now there's an idea.

Oh no, I just remembered bestiality is forbidden.

Oh well, another good idea bites the dust!

 

[christophe]

that is a nice service

laurel very nice service to your readers and authors...nver knew people read so many incest stories....geeeeeeez....will this be availabel to all stories or just for the top rated ones?

 

[Laurel]

Hi again chris!

By logging into your account on the main site, you should now be able to check how many times each of your story has been viewed. The stats are not in real time, but they should update daily. Let me know if it works for oyu, and if you have any comments! Thanks!

 

[christophe]

found it

laurel i did find the number of times viewed, and was actually pleasantly surprised at the volume of reads it has had versus the numer that voted! now i just wish all those folks would have voted! . thanks again
cheers chris
