Timing and luck. It is more important though that a good link eventually gets the exposure it deserves.

- DyslexicAtheist 8y agono that's fine, the goal is to have it seen and see what people think. but it seems my understanding of how links get promoted is incorrect. When submitting links that have been shared hours/days (or sometimes weeks) before, then the submit usually takes me straight to the page of the original poster. It seems that there is a limit of how many links can be on the frontpage by a given user or something (but that too doesn't seem right considering that in Dec I had 4 links on the FP top 30 on the same day). For long time I thought I understood this site but now it's clear to me I know nothing :)
- mojuba 8y agoNo wait, those aren't the same URLs actually if you look at them. So that explains it ;)
