How do I make more people view my threads?

[just4today]

Start a thread with "WWYD" in the title. People love those.

In looking at your thread history, most, or all, of the ones you started seem to revolve around new or alternate ideas (very creative BTW) for rides, etc at Disney.

Going out on a limb here (I have in the past and have fallen many times, LOL) that those threads will get most views and participation on the rumor board http://www.disboards.com/forumdisplay.php?f=36 here on the DIS. Looking there, seems most threads get a pretty good number of views, though not necessarily a lot of replies. I would think the folks who visit that board are the more 'in depth', creative Disneyphiles, of which I think is a much smaller number than here on this community board.

Here, for the most part, people talk about a lot of non-Disney stuff, though not limited to non-Disney stuff. Anything can be talked about on this board, as long as it is within their guidelines. With that, I am thinking that a creative Disney idea thread will get lost quite quickly here on this board...actually, any thread can get lost quite quickly here. On the rumor board, the first page has threads all the way back to 12/13, and the default cutoff of normally displayed threads, 30 days, only go to page 2. Here on this board, the first page usually goes back 30-60 minutes, (except overnight) and 30 days goes back 50 pages (and this is a slower time of the year, the holiday season). You can post here but it will get lost very quickly. On the rumor board, it will be visible for weeks, thereby creating more views, and hopefully replies.

Hope that helps a bit, LB, and Happy New Year.

One other thought is to maybe ask on the rumor board what other non-DIS forums are out there that maybe focus more on those types of threads, creative Disney ideas. I think this one might be along those lines..

Very kind and thoughtful advice. I didn't realize that the poster was serious

....title your thread "How do I Make More People View My Threads?"...

 

[disney1990]

Make your title "Nevermind" or "Ignore this"

Oh, yeah! And you'll get bonus views if you add something about your kid's behavior in public. For example:

"WWYD? A lady gave my kid a dirty look in Walmart yesterday!" (Walmart always gets extra views, but you can swap it out for any other store.)

Okay people, we are going to try an interesting social experiment in two minutes. Only the people on this thread will know what's happening. I am about to start a new thread that has many of the keywords needed for a successful thread with a high view count. Let's see if our theories are correct...

oooooooooo it's a conspiracy I like it!! I have never been involved in a conspiracy before!

Come up with an imaginary fiance and/or imaginary pregnancy. It's even better if it involves twins--maybe boys and maybe girls.

It has begun!(Mission Impossible theme music playing in the background)

Put "possible TMI". "spoiler alert", "gross pic", or "ladies only", in your title.

 

[disneyhand]

Good thing I read this, I'm a boring thread killer!

 

[Wall-E1]

It's working... like lions coming in for the kill. The only thing I'm wondering, is why Magic Mom called me a "she" Doesn't she see my Dis Dad sig?

 

[smkiya]

Start a thread that says "how do I make more people view my threads?".

Exactly! It's all about the title!

 

[Disney1fan2002]

By posting this very question! LMAO!

 

[ImMarcik]

Now I must try to find the consipiracy thread.

 

[OK!]

Why does it matter?

This.

Ok how did you know I got laid off yesterday, and how did you know I am going to Disney next month!
