Yesterday I posted my new poem “Communication” on four websites at once and monitored their progress re Views etc. The four sites were “Hello Poetry”, “VoicesNet”, My Own Poetry Blog and “Poemhunter”. Here are the results:

Any surprises to me? Well no. My own blog is not a community as such so I have to work harder for my Views etc. All these views are from Google and the like.

It is (still) disappointing that Views are so low on Poemhunter these days. However, their “league tables” show that generally viewing figures are at a low, especially compared with a few years ago. The site was badly hacked two or three years ago and I suspect that scared people away. It is a desert now.

Hello Poetry has been a big source of joy for me recently. However, the comments have dwindled: something to ponder on.

VoicesNet continues to View and Comment well and I expect Views on this poem to carry on ticking over there for a fair while.

I no longer put poems on Triond as the Views there for poetry and fiction are paltry.

My highest Viewed poem remains “Mirror, Mirror” on my poetry Blog at 7158 Views.

Update 14\7\14 AM - My latest poems on "Hello Poetry" - "Ancestry" 171 Views, "Space" 214, "Communication" 219, "Force" 48 in 18 hours and should have trended by now really.

11.15 PM (14\7) - Ancestry 173, Space 216, Communication 227, Force 230. My poet friend Liz Squires (Australia) tells me "Force" started trending about this afternoon. Clearly trending counts.

Slight correction - Force started trending around 11.30 AM according to HP Notifications.

15\7 Latest for "Communication": HP 228, V 29, P 13, Blog 9.

16\7 Latest on "Hello Poetry": Anc 175, Space 221, Comms 247, Force 258, "Love Poem" (new) 224. This is pleasing because Love Poem was experimental. Nice to see the Views are rising each time I post.

23.45 - Just to say that Liz reposted my poem "Just Me" (formerly "Internet Prose Poem") recently and it shot up to my "mid-table" from 49 Views to 74. The Power of the Repost. It did not "Trend" however.

23\7 - Latest Views on ScribeSlice: "Marinia 7 Pt2" 253, "Marinia 7" 73, "Afterlife" 198, "Wormhole" 72, "Paradise Found" 59. Worth continuing.

29\7 - Liz Squires recently got me to join ScribeSlice, Wattpad and StoryStar in order to post my stories. Been interesting. Oh, and 529 Views for my "Paedophile" piece on Triond. Not even trending yet great Views. Almost NO Views on PoetFreak I see.

31\7 - Paedo Piece - 1850 Views yesterday and now on Most Popular List!

31\7 - 16.00 BST - Paedo Piece: 2,359 V today, 6,098 V Total!

Bullies now 36,393 Views (48 today). 91% American readership now. 2% UK.

1\8 - Paedo 10,168 V, 1,700 today.

8\8 - Paedo 12,269, Bullies 38,042. Total Triond Views 29\7 - 370 (typical then), 30\7 - 3116, 31\7 - 4870, 1\8 - 2426, 2\8 - 374. Average about 320 per day since then. That surge was when Paedo trended on "Healthmad".

This month - 5382 V for 23 cents on Triond. AdSense counted those as 7V, 0 Clicks, 0 Earnings.
