How to get more views on your projects. =)

If your project isn't getting many views (perhaps less than 10), try using these strategies.

1. Be patient. Give it a week or so.

2. Update it- Make sure it doesn't have too many glitches, check the title is okay, and the image people see before they click on the project shows something about the project.

3. Add useful tags. Try using tags on the front page. For instance, if the project is a simulation, add the tag simulation. If it's an animation, add the tag animation. If it's a pong game, maybe add the tag ball, or pong. Don't add useless tags, you may want to delete any useless tags other people make.

4. Don't spam. Never comment with just (link to project). No-one is likely to click on the link, whilst the project maker might get annoyed. If they say not to spam in the project notes, don't consider doing so.

5. If you have made less than 3 good projects on Scratch, try sharing more good projects (not pointless ones). Often people see your other projects, so your projects get multiple views, especially if they're worthwhile projects to look at.

6. Use the show and tell forum, and post a link, using these guidelines by greenflash. Click here.

7. Post links to related projects you made on your projects. That way you only interfere with your own projects' popularity, but it can be worthwhile.

Feel free to use this forum to discuss ideas, suggestions, galleries and projects.

Hope that helps  smile

I always add the most random tags from the front page - especially WAFFLES.
Yeah - anyway this is great and I'm sure new scratchers looking for more views will find this interesting and very helpful.

That's fine, but if a lot of people add random tags it can ruin the point of tags. As long as you don't do false tagging, that can make the good projects harder to find. If you can make a good project more popular, it can a good idea.  smile

I mean, there's no point in tagging game when it's music. But if the tag is on the front page then it's going to get you some more views.

Oh another great way to get views is to make projects for the scratch design studio!

True. It's just that there's always spamming on projects, I'm trying to convince more new members not to.
