A lot of people are worried that the views on the site are constantly going down. However, some users prefer to engage with view-for-view or comment-for-comment approach. In my opinion, this is not the best strategy, because the more people you reach out to, the bigger the chance they will come back to you, and the more views the site gets overall. Most of us are very busy, but the majority of the posts are not that long, so it only takes a few minutes to read a couple of additional posts each day.
Here are 5 actions you can take now. They may not have a huge impact immediately but could be a good step in the right direction.
- For each view or comment you get from a user, read 3 of their posts. If you have already read all their recent posts, then
- Find 3 old posts of this user, or 3 posts of users who have not previously interacted with you.
- Once you are done with your routine and you are ready to leave the site, spend a few more minutes to read 5 additional posts from the Latest or any category that interests you.
- Share 3 additional posts on social media – yours or by other users.
- Feature 3 other people’s posts in your article.
These numbers are just an example, you can always do as many as you have time for. My point is that with just a little effort we could achieve some improvement. I am sure that most of us already do many of these things, but even a few extra posts a day could help. What do you think? Would these actions be helpful?
Here are a few posts from the challenge My Happy List I’d like to share. Please, if you have the time, check at least 3 of them. I am sure they will make your day a little happier.

Love your ideas! I’ll do them on a bigger scale when I’ve more time here …
now I can only read 1 or 2 additional posts …
And thanks for the mention!
Thank you, if we all read just 1 or 2 more, I believe it’s already an improvement.
Just super ideas!!! Always try to read as much posts as I can + now maybe will do some of your other steps mentioned in this great article!!!
Thank you so much, Anastasia!
I have been reading the posts every day but I admit that only the recent posts that I read and not the old posts.
It doesn’t matter whether they are recent or old, every view counts.
Your ideas are great. I’ve tried it before but unfortunately it didn’t work. This only works for the friends we’ve been with since the beginning, including you. I certainly cannot get new visitors even though I look at their post every day.
It has worked for me, but it may take some time. We still can’t make others view our posts if they don’t want to, but it’s at least more views for the site in general.
I agree. I’m persistent, and so I try.
I am not participating in this strange behavior: the view for view, comment for comment. I read a lot here and do not look if the author viewed my post or not. I comment not so much but I view a lot both old and new posts even if I do not get any virils for that after reaching the limit. Everyone should do their very best, not count their views and comments.
I agree with you. I think it will take me more time to count the comments I wrote than to just write one when I feel I have something to say.
Excellent point I think you give very excellent advice here.
Thank you very much for your kind words, Pamela!
It’s a list of posts from a particular challenge called “My Happy List” by users who participated in the last few months.
They gave my challenge a try so why not thank them? You can mention me in the “Coffee Talk” participants, lol.
I understand that but I specifically explained why these people are included in this particular post. It’s not a list of friends, and these people alone are 12 users. I doubt that anyone will open all the links, let alone if I listed 30 people, for example. Don’t worry, I will keep linking other users’ posts in the future, this is just the beginning. Sorry if you felt hurt in any way because that was not my intent!
I need to start from somewhere, it’s difficult to link everyone in just one post, so I try to do it based on categories. It may be subjective, as everything people do is, but those are people who joined my idea and dedicated some of their time to create posts related to it, so it seems logical to me to start with them. I value every view and comment I get, do not doubt that.
Thank you for sharing your perspective!
I honestly don’t understand your last reaction, as I genuinely thank you for expressing your point of view, however I don’t have to agree with it. People can have different opinions and still be friends.
Great advice dear and thank you for the mention. I like these ideas a lot.
Thank you very much for your kind words, Kim!
I have tried many things but nothing helps so I also do not bother …. I return comments to those who comment on me … I also don’t know more posts if it helps … I checked with those who give more posts … one or two have commented on the rest but nothing more or less … the damage of the post if no one looks at it … I post every other day one post and I think that’s quite enough for me … maybe another weekend … with new members are nothing like this …. old ones are leaving … unfortunately i don’t know why this is so
Thank you for sharing your perspective! I like reading a lot of posts here, there’s always something interesting to read and see, so I hope things will get better.
I hope so, though I find it hard to believe, dear friend
Views being down is really bad. Views down mean ultimately the value of a Viril will go down again.
There are many factors to this issue your five calls to action are a great start.
We have to be careful, I think there needs to be a balance of virily views and external views going forward.
So DocAndersen, explain it to me so I can understand. Are we currently lacking outside views or inside views?
at this point we are more missing outside views than inside views.
I am not worried. I think Virily works well
Paid views may be the same, but the lack of external views results in the value of the viril going down. Which means getting less money for the same amount of virils. I am personally not worried, as I don’t have high hopes anyway.
The problem is that user views alone may not enough.
Because without external views, the current views are just a fraction of the views we had with external views. I have no idea whether external and internal views have a different value, that’s a good question. Considering users get some reward for viewing others’ posts, but guests don’t get paid for using the site, it’s a good thing to have more guest views in general.
Views are important for the site, because advertisers pay for their ads to be seen and clicked on. Limits are cut because the site doesn’t make enough money to pay the users. Technically, there is no view limit as people can see as many posts as they want, they just don’t get rewarded for it.
I guess you are right. Most of us spend a lot time on the internet reading and watching videos without any reward apart from having a good time, it’s a pity that it does not work this way here.
Very interesting Ellie. I try my best to help Virily
Glad to hear you have a positive perspective!
Ellie I am not much of a social media person so I will read and comment on as many posts as I can. I have been away from the site because of two deaths in the family over the last two weeks. I will do my best here now that I am here full time.
Sorry forgot to mention that your POA is very practical and doable.
I am so sorry for your loss! My deepest sympathies to you and your family.
Thank you for the mention. I think your ideas are workable and perhaps if we all try to do more it can make a big difference.
Thank you so much, I am glad to hear that! 🙂
Your ideas are workable. The only one which isn’t effective on my side is sharing on my social media sites. No one bothers to click on the links I post there.
Well, Introvert – maybe we need to link you up with others on your social media sites. Which ones do you use?
Mostly Facebook. I was banned on Twitter though I had never posted or carried any action there. I have been active on Instagram.
I understand you very well as I have the same problem.
we can always do more…
That’s true, we just have to start somewhere.
Even if you have not mentioned my name I will continue to view your posts (lol)
I have included people who participated in the challenge “My Happy List” this time. I am very sorry if I have missed your post for it. Don’t worry, I am planning on keeping on linking other users’ work in my posts. 🙂
Actually you and I always interact on every post of ours and so not a big deal that you did not mention my name.
It’s just that this time the topic is posts related to the challenge “My Happy List”. I enjoy your posts and cherish our interaction a lot!
Thank you for sharing my post! These are excellent ideas. I will start doing this. Thanks for the helpful tips.
Thank you, Carol! I was afraid it may sound a bit childish, but I thought it’s worth a try.
