I thought it was impossible for me, but when my “4.0 swivel-JUMP” became one of the highest rated stories nearly two months ago, I was having this feeling of being unworthy, and of great reluctance. For many months now I’ve been trying to analyze how the PL Mod designed the “Rating Algorithm” for this site.
I have some theories but I consider them inaccurate and irrelevant. However, there’s this “becoming one of the highest rated” formula that I discerned. As of this writing or in the moment you get to read this, my story that’s currently declared as one of the highest rated could be dethroned already so before it happens, let me share to you some tips on how to become a highest rated in the biggest and most popular erotic site in the Philippines.
Write a story in first person P.O.V. – Picture these situations:
Juan is talking about: “Nakita ko si Maria kahapon, kinakantot siya ni…”
Pedro on the other hand talks: “Kahapon kasama ko si Maria, nagkantutan kami sa…”
If you are given the chance to talk to both Juan and Pedro, who would listen to? Of course, it would be Pedro. Talking to the man who “does the deed” would be more interesting and fun than doing it wih the one who just “witnessed the deed.” Want to come up with a more appealing story? Set the narrative in first person!
Come up with a true to life story. (or at least pretend to have one) “Ang lahat ng nakasaad sa kuwentong ito ay tunay na nangyari sa akin.” An intro like this has been so abused in this site. Many authors here claim that their stories are real life events, but are they? We can’t really know for sure. But the fact remains that readers are so hooked into such stories that they actually embrace the events to be very real! If you want to make a hit PL story, write a true to life one. Haven’t had any interesting real life sexcapades? Go ahead and lie… nobody’s gonna know.
Befriend the deadlies – Those glowing yellow stars at the bottom of every post, they signify and dignify the stories and in effect, the authors themselves. Clicking or not clicking them could make or break a naughty author’s reputation. But how do we make the readers click those stars? Aside from of course, coming up with a good story, I don’t have any other answer but this technique: make yourself a friend of the likes of dropdeaddiva, doggs_starr, Wish_Trish, ms_stress and other deadly writers here.(too many to mention) Once you do that, you will earn their respect, their comments and yes… their votes.
Now you ask, “How can a few comments and votes from the deadlies make my story a highest-rated? Well, let me simplify it for you. Having their comments on your stories would catch the attention of their “army of fans” and eventually, some of these followers will read your story and vote for it. If they don’t, at least you get a famous author to comment on your story and it sure will… make you feel famous too.
Use a yummy-looking avatar – PL is a virtual world and you can make yourself the most good-looking entity here if you want to… have the guts to claim it. Hordes of “orgasm-hungry” people are crowding this place and if you want to make yourself an easy target and an instant celebrity, do it. Choose and pick the most delicious flesh image that you can find and use it to represent yourself. The effectiveness of this technique has been confirmed to me by dropdeaddiva. If you doubt this, take a look around or better yet, try it yourself. See for yourself that I’m really speaking the truth.
The statements above are observations that I’ve been having all along. Those are the conventional methods of being a PL hit-maker. They work, that’s for sure. But I don’t use them coz… well, I’m not really sure if it will work for me. So what method did I use? Let’s get serious now, really serious. Let me present to you the “Scophish Methodology” on how to make it through the ratings:
Use hyperlinking mercilessly – if you’ve been browsing through my posts, (if you haven’t, please do, now!) you should have certainly noticed some item embellishments like: “see <story title>” and “<< — , – ->>” some readers complained about having headaches when reading my stories so I used the hyperlinking tool that you people rarely use. I employed it so that readers will find it easier to get along with my “messy and stupid storytelling.” I can’t seem to figure out why other authors don’t use it. Would anyone be my pal on this?
Be poetic – There are thousands of stories here, but only a few poetic entries. The day was 26th of May when I posted my poem “.” The day after, one of my stories became one of the highest rated. We can’t be sure if the poem triggered it, but I really believe it did! Erotic stories are the bread and butter here but I think it’s cool to be unique. Scribble a poem or something similar, they’ll notice it!
Let the characters of your stories create FaceBook accounts – Cindel, Joice, and Symon : the unholy trinity of the “Scophish Posts,” These people have FaceBook accounts. Since I’m a bad writer in terms of characterization (and since I hate writing stories in first person POV,) I devised some kind of “viral campaign” that can somehow compensate for my weakness: an array of social networking accounts that some unregistered PL readers can check out. Check it out reader: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]
Enrage the PL public (or at least a few of your followers) – Arguments, skirmishes, and negative comments, these are unavoidable especially in a site like this. Nobody wants them, unless you’re me. (I mean it!) In addition to what I mentioned about being unique, dare to post “stupid and messy” stories. It might bring you down but you’ll have the upside of knowing who loves you and hates you and in effect, you will find out who will stick with you through thick and thin, and in both fame and infamy. The bottom line is that you’ll get noticed and getting noticed is the foundation of fame and notoriety, never forget that.
There Pee eLers, I just gave you two sets of tips on becoming a PL highest-rated. The first set is proven and the second one is… well, risky and experimental. The first four worked and will certainly work for everyone. The bottom four worked for… me. It could work for you too, but let me warn you that it’s painstaking and dangerous.
I hope this will be of some help to some authors especially the newbies. I know I’m not fit to be the one posting this since I’m not that great as a writer. The deadlies here like the ones I mentioned above should be the ones doing this. I guess they will share their techniques now that I initiated this action. Let’s hope they will. We need to know their methods so we can be like them.
Deadlies… do it!
By the way, The story of Cindel and Symon is approaching its ending. Maybe you can help me out by giving ideas? Send me a message. Pick any of the three addresses stated above and pour out your suggestions there. Thanks in advance.
Excelsior!
