I'm ashamed for bitching all this time. My ratio's been playing at 1:170, and I've been tracking my views per chapter published. I really wish I could separate the views from those who'd just found the story from the ones who came to read specifically for that newly released chapter. Anyway, it got 5k views in two days, then I released the next chapter and tracked again. That two days were during the weekends though, so that might not be the real average.

You may all stone me to death now.

334:1 Not exactly a great ratio. But the ratios will always get worse the longer a novel exists.

    I'm so glad this was posted. I've always wondered how other author's do.
    1,107 views / 4727 Collections / 1:234 Ratio
    Although, I'd probably be doing better if I could release more often. 3 per week release rate. Also, only at 53 chapters.

          Lighthouse This is true, I just recalculated, it's at around 190 now. Fickle, fickle~

              Hyowha Speaking of no daily updates, has anyone here confirmed that that's required to be featured on the front page? Or just for the "daily updates" category? (The rules for this are like easter eggs...)

                  WinterBud as far as I know, you need daily updates, as I talked with edgarry and he said to get on trending I need to do daily updates first, but that may have been only my case.

                      WinterBud A base of 50k words written needed and an upload rate > 7 chapters/week. Meaning that past the 50k words, if you have a stable update, you will one day enter the "trending" category. As for daily updates, it is still 50k words and just you posting a chapter. Those numbers are the one given a while ago but should still be relevant.
                      Also, the higher you are in the original rank, the better it is I think. There is also a number of ??k words written between two apparitions in the "trending" category but those ?? I have no idea. Probably 25k words I would say, meaning that for two consecutive times, you would write at least a little more than 3.5k words each day.

                          Mine is 222:1
                          Yeah,life's tough. I'm dealing with it. Kudos to all authors and editors out there(~_~)

                            Love_XYZ I'm kinda new, though, so I guess I can't complain too much.

                                Cool thread. I'll give it a go, although my statistical maths is terrible.

                                Zaldizko has 12.1K views to 9 collections.
                                So ratio is 1344:1?
                                It's pretty small-time since it has only been live for a month. I'm open for some readers :smile:

                                To My Sunflower has 6919 views to 25 collections. Only been live since writing prompt #46 two weeks back. Again open for some readers :wink:
                                Ratio is 276:1?

                                I honestly don't know if these numbers are a good indication for this site or not. Probably not since it doesn't really generate too much activity. I can't complain since I've only been here a month. If Anything, the views are telling me my cover and blurb are drawing in the interest at least. I hope.
