A guy named "Michael" copied this blog and then suddenly it has exploded onto hundreds of pages. Glad it is helping people. I just updated some info at the bottom of the blog, and there is a paragraph he left out that is very important. Please scroll down to the bottom if you have already read this blog.

Before you read the rest of this Blog, here is the "key" to making money on Yuwie! Referrals...and helping keep them active. Korry(Y Guy) will tell you the same thing. This is just educational on how to get more views.........

I decided to finally answer the question
"How do you leave a comment?"
The reason is that most people really don't know how to do this and there has been so much discussion about page views that I felt this would be helpful. Also, I will show just exactly how profile and page views each step counts for.

First, let's define PROFILE VIEWS and PAGE VIEWS.

PROFILE VIEW: Anytime someone looks at your
profile, you get a PROFILE VIEW. Your friend does not get credit for a page view and neither do you. It is a PROFILE VIEW.

PAGE VIEW: Any page you visit, except your friends PROFILE, you get credit for. Any control panel page, view friends, mail, approve comments, etc.......


You must stay on a page for 3 seconds or NO ONE gets credit for any type of view. Refreshing a page also does not count. Your Blog views are already included in one of these views, PROFILE OR PAGE, they are not separate. Also, Blog views will increase by one everytime YOU yourself look at it. Most people do not know this either. It is not an accurate gage of how many people have read your Blog.

Ok here we go complete with pictures:

1. From your contol panel, select "You have ## friends
online" or go to your "Friends" link in the control panel.



















2. Select the friend you wish to comment. This is your first "PAGE VIEW" you get credit for in the process.












1 PAGE VIEW



3. This will bring you to the "Controversial" backdoor as it has been called. Nothing controversial or backdoor about it at all, this is how Y GUY designed the site for you to send comments. Don't believe me? Ask him next time he is on Y Radio, this is where I got my information, listening to him. Select "leave a comment".
















1 PAGE VIEW (#2 in the process)

4. Here is where you leave your comment and
you can actually now preview your comment to be sure it is done correctly. Great new feature! Also, if you do preview the comment, it is another PAGE VIEW for you. I am skipping that part in this because normally, you are not going to preview every comment. Fill in the comment and captcha if it shows up and press "Send Comment".




























1 PAGE VIEW (#3 in the process)


5.This next step is where most people make their mistake. So far, your friend has gotten NO CREDIT for your
comment. Receiving a comment is NOT a PAGE VIEW
for your friend. You need to follow this next step to insure your friend gets credit for a PROFILE VIEW. Click "last page".

















1 PAGE VIEW (#4 in the process)


6. You are now on your friends profile page. You need to stay there at least 3 seconds so the that they receive a PROFILE VIEW. you get no credit for this. It is not a PAGE VIEW for anybody. It is a PROFILE VIEW for your friend. As soon as people realize this, there will be
less complaining about who does what. At this point, you
can either go back to your control panel or to pick up more PAGE VIEWS for yourself, RATE your friend. Click "rate this profile".






















1 PROFILE VIEW (no credit for you, only for your friend)


7. Now you can rate your friend, the friendly thing to do is rate them all 10's. Click the little buttons to do so and click "rate".

















1 PAGE VIEW (#5 in the process)

8. Let the page cycle thru to your friends Profile. This is the only part I am not clear on. I do not honestly know if you get a PAGE VIEW for this page.


















undefined as a PAGE VIEW.

9. Now you are once again on your friends Profile page. You have just given them another PROFILE VIEW. You do not get credit for this page, only they do. If more people understood this process, there would be less issue and accusations over PAGE VIEWS.



















1 PROFILE VIEW for your friend (#2 in the process)



10. Go back to your control panel or friends section to start the process again.















1 PAGE VIEW (#6 in the process)



In closing, here is what just happened. By following these steps, you just earned 6 PAGE VIEWS for yourself. Your friend that you commented and rated, got 2 PROFILE VIEWS for your efforts. If people understood the difference between the two, there would be no BLOG ONLY COMMENTS and let me also dispell some other Yuwie RUMORS.

I visited every friend on my list yesterday, 8 hours of work. I commented and rated each one (Except Scott, who hates being rated, I'm his 1st level so he's getting credit for all my work anyway...lol!). Here is what I found after visiting 510 profiles yesterday.

The ADS slow down pages more than any other thing on the site. Sometimes they take a while to load.

The NEWSFEED is just as bad. Here is a good idea if you have it. All pages on Yuwie load from TOP to Bottom. Move your NEWSFEED to the bottom of your profile. Nobody reads it anyway, but it helps the RSR. Your page will now load faster.

Chatrooms, music players, videos and slideshows slow down page loading as well, although not near as bad as the NEWSFEED and the ADS.

Comments do not slow down your page since they are
limited to 20 per page. I know on MySpace it takes forever to load some pages because they do not limit the amount of comments on a single page. Yuwie does, so it doe snot slow down your page loading unless someone sends you a full screen pic(we've all gotten them). Advise your friend to please be more careful on pic sizes and delete the comment.

Also setting comments to APPROVE ONLY gives you more PAGE VIEWS, as you have to approve each one.
You do not get more PAGE VIEWS for BLOG ONLY COMMENTS in general. I read a page yesterday that says you make more money, that's not true. Refer to everything above.


I hope this helps, it is not meant to be mean to anyone at all, this is educational, since no one has actually done this before. If I am wrong on any of this, please feel free to comment below. Yuwie is a learning experience for us all, and I hope this helps some people.

P.S.

I gained 2328 PAGE VIEWS from doing this yesterday. No cheating, one page at a time as described above! Also since the January stats are out now, Chey was right, Profile Views are already included in your Page Views when they update each 6 hours. This was the only thing I wasn't certain of and can say for sure about it now.

UPDATE!!!!

Since I wrote this blog months ago, a couple things have changed. First, the blog counter use to be just that, a counter, it had nothing to do with PAGE or PROFILE views. It was merely a counter, counting everytime the blog was viewed, including you yourself. This has changed recently. You will no longer see your own views of your blog count on the BLOG counter.

Also, with the addition fo "FRIEND ACTIONS", you now have a way to give your friends "PROFILE VIEWS". Most people do not get it yet and I don't have time to do the pics, but you should be able to figure it out. To give your friend a "PROFILE VIEW", simply click on "last page" once you have sent the friend action. Hardly anyone is doing this and it is the easiest, fun way to give your friend a "PROFILE VIEW"!!

Again, if I have missed anything in this update, please feel free to comment. I am also adding this to my Radio TA profile, so others there can see the update as well. If you haven't added it yet, please do so. I am on that profile most of the time these days!
