Those blog posts about HN trends and stats remind me a bit of stuff about SEO. Lots of tricks and hacks, but essentially it boils down to relevant content.
So yeah, you can probably gain a bit of an edge by posting at a certain time of day, or using specific keyword etc. but nothing beats an interesting post or a great comment.
- seivan 11y agoOutside of engineering responses I've noticed "progressive" (regressive left) comments never get down voted. Basically take anything Randy Marsh would say from latest season of South Park and you'll get up voted. No matter how ridiculous it sounds. Do the same with Cartman and something about minorities and you'll be (rightly so) down voted. There is no balance. I'm slightly facetious ;)
- JupiterMoon 11y agoI downvoted you. Because I often get downvoted for left leaning posts...
- seivan 11y agoThere is nothing pro working class about the shit portrayed in South Park.
- JupiterMoon 11y agoAnd now I upvoted this comment just because. I guess my point is that voting on HN seems largely random to me.
