WHAT MAKES A SUCCESSFUL FREEPER ARTICAL/POST?

Posted on 05/13/2012 5:13:37 PM PDT by mamelukesabre

I can't figure it out. I was just looking at my previous articles and looking at the number of comments for each. There seems to be no rhyme or reason. The things I thought were amazing garnered pathetic comments quantities. The things I considered to be frivolous garnered popularity.

Click my name and look at my articles and subsequent comment numbers and tell me I'm wrong. If I'm wrong make me understand. Please.

Slow down turbo...

I'd just as soon have a cheeseburger.

A miss-spelled word in the title.

LOL!

USE TITALS ALL IN CAPS

Better yet, misspell TITLES as TITTIES in the title of a thread and watch the fun begin.

Does the third one from the left have a ferret climbing into her pocket?

I think that is just the early stages of FRONT BUTT.

Choice of subjects is also kinda like the perfect country song except for trains.

Well, I was drunk the day my Mom got outta prison.
And I went to pick her up in the rain.
But, before I could get to the station in my pickup truck
She got runned over by a damned old train.

I’d start with the correct spelling of “article”, I suppose. LOL

The blond pretty one that's not on either end of the lineup.

The one with a frigging ferret in her pants.

My favorite country song is “Get Your Tongue Out Of My Mouth Cause I’m Kissin You Goodbye”.

Something which informs and is unambiguous will likely get fewer comments than something which which is ambiguous and starts several long arguments.

If your name’s not Humblegunner, nobody’s going to care what you post.

Actually the quantity of replies is not necessarily indicative of the quality of the article. Often, the best articles posted here get little or no reply but that's not because nobody is reading it. I only reply to about one out of every 100 articles I read here.

Free Republic used to list the number of pageviews on each article but they don't do that anymore. Wish they did.

I agree.

If someone posts an "important" article that most FReepers will inherently be either be for or against, I will read it, but not usually post a comment because more than one FReeper has already posted the equivalent of my thoughts, using better words than I would have, had I posted.

Without returning to pageviews, I doubt it will be possible for Thread posters to ever really know just how popular their thread really was to FReepers.

The hottest chick there IS the one with dark hair.

I don't know about the 'hottest' label.

A) I am, after all, a celibate. And B) back when I wasn't, the presence of a small, dangerous carnivore in her pants would not have added to her appeal.

I think the old gal on the far right in post #73 isn't bad looking. At least I could get a decent meal and some un-taxed booze from her.

The others have nothing to offer, except speculation about the small wild carnivore near a crotch.
