How can I get more recs so my post gets more views?

35. I don't know about a kick button...

But reply to as many of the comments as possible - and spread it out over time - i.e. do one , wait a bit, and reply to the next.

Every reply puts the OP back on the top of the discussion list. If you spread your replies out - then every reply puts it back on top where those who are grazers (like me) may eventually open it up.

Then maybe reply the next day too so the next 'shift of DU'ers gets to see it at the top.

Rec's are important too as those are what puts in on The Front Page in the Trending threads and The Greatest threads. (Note that there is a time limit where it will disappear from the Trending list and not go back..it can only make the Top Greatest List there.

And of coarse the more recs the higher it will be on The Greatest Page.

Time of day makes a difference too - there are more posts during the EDT Prime Time - and less during the PDT prime time. And of coarse the Graveyard - between midnight and 4AM PDT it takes less recs to get it on The Front Page.

Good luck - I'll K & R it shortly.



(Oh yeah - some here may perceive it a bit of bad manners to rec your own OP - but if it is super important to you go for it. I don't know of any site rules that prevent that.)
