Re: project unknown (how to get more comments and views)
Well, I have a couple good projects that I thought were sure hits, then I looked around Scratch for a bit, and found projects with more than 200 views! I wasn't really happy about that, and to tell you the truth, I was pretty upset. So I thought of different ways of making my projects stick out more. Tags. They WERE pretty popular, so I tried some. No luck. Then I tried making galleries with specific labels like Sonic Team. Now I have like, 12 views on almost all my projects!

Re: project unknown (how to get more comments and views)
I made a project that may help with adding tags to yours, and other projects. Tagging is definetely a way to get more views. Check it out! Because I've seen a lot of people who make the same mistake...nott adding relevant tags, and not adding enough.

nobody looks or comments on my projects. its not fair, because other people have projects with tons of views and comments. do you think making a gallery where people with good projects that nobody looks at could put them in is a good idea? then they could be looked at and commented on by me and other people. also, im already in one of those galleries, but my projects still havent been looked at. so if i made one, i would try to look at everones projects. does anyone think thats a good idea?

I think that would be a good idea. I only ever get comments from the people who are in the same RPG as me (Greek Mythology RPG). If you do make this, please tell me.

One of the reaons your project might not be viewed is because os all the waste projects. i go through looking at waht people do and i don't want to look at any more because it is all a waste of my time. so yours might be over looked because of other people puting a bunch of crud.

Re: project unknown (how to get more comments and views)
Some tips that haven't been mentioned:
1. Tricky name The more tricky name your project has, then more pepole will get interested in it. "Chockookies!" is the way better than "Chocolate Cookies" BECAUSE:
a) Spelling mistake. We all like spelling mistakes, and the additional "K" looks cool.
b) It's short, and it suggests that there are special chocolate cookies called "chockookies".
c) You shout it (the "!" sign)
d) It's tricky.
2. The screenshot (project thumbinal) - Your project may be poor and dumb, but if it has a cool screenshot, more pepole will click it (warning: you'll get views, but sometimes also nasty comments, so be prepared). We all like colour black, and we all like neat designs, so think about it.
More to come?

Re: project unknown (how to get more comments and views)
Well I know that a lot of people are attracted to games or complicated simulations. So far, all the featured projects I've seen fit into either of the two categories. To promote yourself, you could spend a lot of time on a good quality project, then others will look at your profile to check out who you are. Also, to get new friends look at the newest projects line and click on one of the projects and give positive feedback about it. I always look for people who have given me good feedback to see if they are similar to me.
Be original, because a lot of people make pong and stuff, so if you want to stand out you have to make something different.
Or you could start a themed gallery and let other users add things to it. Then you will have more connections in the scratch community.
Add lot's of people to your friends because it will give you more connections as well. If you go to someone's profile and look at their friends, you have an easy link to all of their different projects.
Hope this helps!
