What's up with posting?

[soflabbwlvr]

Can someone explain to me what is going on with the posting of new stories? Both chapters of may newest story went up halfway down the second page of the new stories list. Chapter 1 posted after a five day wait, and chapter 2 after a two day wait. I didn't see when chapter 1 went up, but chapter two went up around midday on Saturday. I couldn't find it at first, but when I did it was on the middle of page two. Just bad timing, I wondered? However, an author I follow posted a new story that went up 9 hours earlier, and it was still on the first page.

What difference does it make? Views. The views are down by 80% from what I average in the same category over a similar period of time.

I realize it has been a few years since I posted anything new, and as a result my readership was bound to decrease. But this diminution is too much to be attributable solely to the passage of time.

Volume.

For a while now, the number of new stories each day has been bleeding over into a second page. It's taking longer to get through them in sufficient numbers to keep the queue from overloading to where it takes a week from submission to posting, as it was way back in the day.

Placement has always been sort of random. If it's not an E or a contest story, it could end up anywhere.

Incest goes lower. Noncon is always at the bottom.

Sometimes stories on the new list shift around. Even contest stories, some stories move.

Just saw that your story was noncon. Those usually end up on page 2 now since they go at the end. Subsequent stories posted afterwards will be placed ahead.

That's why a good title and description are critical to getting views.

Non con, far more than taboo, is lit's dirty little secret. Its tough to claim you don't allow flat out rape stories and have a non con section so they bury it where only people who really want to find it will take the time to look.

Things are changing. Have patience. Technology is doing what it can to adjust.

Well, that's new. New for me at least. I used to get them on page 1, often near the top. Page two is the kiss of death.

And tags. Tag it well, front and back, and you can attract the people who're into what you've written.
