How do you get more views?

I was wondering, I have been uploading projects for about 2-3 weeks now and the only the views i have are my own. How do i get more people to see my projects?

Re: How do you get more views?

I asked a similar question in the New Scratchers forum section and got a very elaborate and helpful reply. You can read it here.

Re: How do you get more views?

When you become a Scratcher, advertise your project in your signature, like mine (Hint, hint).

Re: How do you get more views?

Well first of all you can advertise in the forums in the Show and Tell section. You should also put a link to your projects in your forum signature, because people are more likely to view your projects if they just have to click a link. In addition, there are a number of contests/people giving reviews on the forums, and these will give you valuable feedback that will help you improve your projects (better projects = more views). So advertise yourself whenever possible, but remember not to advertise on other people's projects.

Hope that helps!

When making a link in your signature, use the URL tags. This is accomplished in the following way:

[ url = www.yoururlhere.com ] Your message here! [ /url ]

But without all of the spaces. This will produce:

Your message here!

Hope that helps!

Make friends! Comment nice things on others projects and follow them, and others will do unto you. It worked for me!  big_smile  (I've had 2 projects and a gallery featured on the 2.0 site *girly shrieks*  tongue )
