Hi, I'm ssss. I'd like to inform you of the usefulness of Studio's and tags, and how to make them the most effective in getting the most views.

First of all, I'd like to cover studio's which focus on adding everything (Add - Everything). While they may seem like a successful tool in achieving more views, your project is less likely to get noticed, or ‘“love it’s”, as the community will be searching for things they are interested in, not looking through pages of projects which are not relevant to each other.

Furthering on interests, I would like to cover tags. When creating a project, you are allowed a limit of three tags. There used to be more, sadly, it was abused and to combat further abuse, it was limited to three. When selecting your tags, there are six main tags. These tags are:

• Animations

• Art

• Games

• Music

• Simulations

• Stories

However, you can use tags of your own choosing, such as if you were creating an OS simulation, you might choose the main tag Simulations, another tag called OS and perhaps also cover it under Games. Then, someone interested in OS Simulations would be able to search the site, with your project now identified as being a simulation, and an OS.

These tags can be complemented using studios. If you are designing an OS simulator you can add it to my Studio (Please do not add multiple versions of the same OS simulator, or add irrelevant projects). Adding your project to a studio relevant to your project is more likely to get people with the interests of that topic to view your project. Such as the other people developing similar projects to you. They may like to see what you've done differently to them. It is THEIR interest as well. These studio's can be functional in drawing together a group of similar minded figures. You may even end up collaborating on a new project together!

For now, this is all of my guide to achieve more views. More content will be added as I discover new methods of achieving more views, and as more people view the topic.

I do a lot of projects and when I do the CCs I get in a month one or two people actually remixing and doing them while the rest don't care
so I'm with you @Velocihamster100

Hello, I'm clickforgames. I haven't logged in quite a while, but I'd like to also give some tips myself.

My first project, Switch, was a front pager in just over 24 hours. How did I do this? I was able to get a group of friends (or followers so to speak) by browsing the New Projects section. I gave positive and critical feedback that they would appreciate. In turn, I assume they viewed my profile. When I released my first project, several of those people clicked on it giving it attention, so it didn't just pass the eye of the community like projects normally do. Over night, it gradually moved up the Top Loved. My 2nd project Ghost also became a moderate success.

For my 3rd project, I made a compilation of screenshots of projects called Projects from the Underground. It is a collection of projects I saw while browsing the New Projects section, that I felt were outstanding and deserved more attention. Using the left-over success I had from my first two projects, I was able to help get Lord of Knights to the front page, and Epic Nighmare and Flightboy acheived moderate success. I made Vol. 2 the week after, it helped to get StarHawk: Reborn to the front page, and The Rocket Jumper acheived moderate success. If someone could do this again, that'd be great. Unfortunately, I'm busy with other stuff.

Happy Scratching,
clickforgames

Awesome guide! I'd suggest adding “Work-in-progress” as one of the tags.
