In less than three months this year, the future state robotics market has shifted. Jibo went out of business earlier in 2019 and as of March so has Keecker. While most people don’t care about companies going to of business I have to say both of these devices had great potential. Keecker released new software before they shut down that frees their devices from the requirement to log into their servers.
It has come to my attention because it has been asked several times now on different forums, the differences in some of the ways to earn Virils. First off, the importance of guest views. I have included a screenshot from my computer this morning. I log in early in the US Eastern. I spend time catching up on posts from the authors I regularly read. If I have time, I read other authors as well.
This morning first thing I read three posts by other authors. I shared them via Twitter and as you can see I got credit for three virils. Three shares three virils. Now, once upon a time in the deep dark past, I would have gotten credit for sharing the post, plus all of the resulting views of that post that I shared. That meant if I shared the post and it was my post, I got double credit. One for sharing, one for the view and in the old days the site gave you credit for every single view, based on your social share. That was removed and probably should have never been an option; in many cases, you were simply rewarding people twice for sharing their post.
There is a limit overall to the number of guest views that you get credit for. If you share 100 posts in a day, you’ll be closed to the overall limit.
That said, views are completely separate. Views exist when someone either a guest, or a verified, or a registered user views your post. You get credit for everyone that views your posts. If there is a total limit to views, that would have to be well past 400 views on a post. I don’t think there is a limit on views, but you get credit for every view.
Just to be clear – share a post (your own or someone else) and you get one viril for sharing.
You get one viril for views, anyone that reads your post gives you a view.
Have a wonderful day!

Do you understand the difference between views on your posts, and the guest view notification?

Yes

No

Unique post means any post on Virily, once per day. In other words, you can’t share to twitter the same post twice in five minutes. You have to wait until the next day.
Interesting article. The way I understand it “views on your post” would mean the total views both from Virily members and guest readers. A “guest view” I presume refers to somebody who is not member of the community.
I am trying to tweet this but the share is not loading. Apology for taking long time to check your posts. Been pretty busy with day job. Manpower shortage.
Read when you can. you don’t have to apologize! Loved your last poem really brought a number of thoughts!
Understand the work issues, happens!
Building a large social following takes time and patience. It isn’t hard it just takes time.
I am not sure where you got Original Article from, I was talking about the original system that awarded a viril for sharing, and then a viril for everyone that clicked the original shared link.
I miss that system,
I don’t know that it is better. I am simply saying I understand why the site admins had to shut it off (if you recall and i sure you do) performance was horrible last year. They stopped the credit and performance got better.
I would much prefer the original system, it took me almost three months to find other ways to replace those lost Virils. I was on average getting 200 or so Virils per day.
Now to get that I have to read and share 200 posts. Several people have told me there is a way to earn 2000 or more Virils per day. I asked them not to tell me, it felt like the cheating issue we had over a year ago.
To end, yes, you get one Viril per each referral, where a referral has to be a unique post. I have found you can get more than one viril, by sharing a post twice over the course of more than 24 hours.
Gary was a spell checker replacement. My apologies.
It is not the same as a referral link,
1. I sent a link to a group of users via Twitter.
When they opened it, I got one (referral viril)
all of them were prompted to log into twitter
they did
then I got credit for the 4 people that read my link. (I have created twitter groups using a 3rd party add on) Each of the groups got links to a post each day. I choose different authors for each day.
I did the same for several other authors and got the exact same result. It should be noted, that a non-verified user also did that for me. They got similar results but often didn’t get the first or initial share credit.
They had to stop the process because it was causing site performance issues. I think stopping it to protect the site is fair.
I am not sure you read my comment and i understand if you didn’t. They made this change roughly Feb 2018, the last time we had the huge performance issues with the Site.
They shared that in the facebook group in late 2018.
Just the facts to be clear.
(feel free to ask other long-time users)
1. You used to get one viril per “referral” and then up to 500 of the views from that share. During the original performance issues, that was changed. Gary Biblio and others have talked about it a number of times.
2. Now it i one to one, you share you get one Viril. I think that is fair, as people got to double dip up to 501 Virils. Fair change. Also the admins shared on the Facebook group that in fact, they turned it off because of site performance issues.
Now, the issue of guest views, users, that click on the link shared to Twitter get the opportunity to log in and be a verified user. The 10 folks I did my testing with were all prompted to become users. I suspect the same is true of Facebook. I do not know if the same is true for Pinterest. Google + no longer matters as it is closing.
Thanks for your clarification.
(ALL OF THIS DATA CAN BE FOUND BY SEARCHING THE FACEBOOK GROUP).
I am very sorry you are this angry.
Your post of the rules is 100% correct.
The act of social sharing (Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and for a few more days Google +) has the following rule:
“Referring visitor you get 1 virils. There is a limit of 500/Day.
Referring Signup you get 20 virils. There is a limit of 1000/Day. (Updated June 20, 2017)
When Guest view your post you get 1 viril. There is a limit of 500/day.”
You are correct on that.
The limit is literally one per share now, Rather than the 500 limits shown in the rule.
In the early days of Virily, I hit the limit a few times, but they stopped that because of system performance issues.
Interesting post. I share a few posts. Sometimes I do not understand well those Virile’s. It’s not clear to me when and how much I get.
That is why everyone yells about the dashboard not updating enough. There is a level of uncertainty in the community about that.
I agree, Doc. I resign oneself to that the control panel was not up to date ?. I noticed that sometimes I do not receive Virilius to see my post.
I keep an eye on that so I know what I tend to move up and down in a month. So far in march, I am up about 12000 virils give or take a few.
This is an interesting issue, especially when talking about virils, but the rest I think you already know why I rarely share my posts on social media, but I’ve started to share my paintings posts here again on Twitter and Pinterest, and as you know, I rarely visit all those platforms, so I don’t know the impact.
Yes you influence on this site, heavily! Lots of people follow you! But I do completely understand. The social media thing has to be a choice.
Even if it’s true, it might only be for a few people, and it must be very small in percentage.
I think the reality of influence is two-fold. There are those who drive views, those that drive comments.
For my posts, you seem to do both. I can verify that you reading and commenting does bring other viewers.
Thanks for this clarification, Scott. BTW< I've noticed, since the up/downvote buttons were shrunk in size a few days ago, I can't seem to register an upvote within the post itself. But if I find the post listed (say in Latest, or Following), I can upvote it there.
I have noticed the same issue with the upvote button although I had tried your workaround will do so! Thanks for a great way to upvote!
At least I think I understand. As for me it is no use to try to share posts as my internet presence is basically reserved for translation work and dictionnaries, one little facebook account that I barely use, my email, Virily and soon to be Hubpages. Yes Hubpages because Virily is getting very emotional and slow on some days. Not that I will ever leave it. I will always be here as long as it functions but because of some of its inadequacies I want to try my hand somewhere else. I am also a member of myLot but being a discussion board, my types of posts are not that engaging for that community. BTW congratulations on your accumulated virils.
Thanks for the kind words.
It is frustrating right now, speed, reliability wise. Time to look around again. I find myself best, like you fitting into a solid blog world.
