Ask HN: How do I get on top of HN?
I'm a HN user ready to launch my product (helpjuice.com), and was wondering how you'd go about submitting on HN with your startup?
It seems like that you're either really popular(and some having the SIMPLEST of concepts) or no one looks at you -- What gives?

- sunspeck 15y agoYour homepage doesn't inspire a lot of confidence as far as providing writing services. "CC us your support emails, we create the pe_fect knowledgebase" can probably entirely replace "Have your help page updated, simply by CC'ing us your emails" as it says the same thing but is a lot more explanatory.
- paisible 15y agoOk. Did and admin just "put" this post at the top of the pile ? Either that or the algorithm has an an "ask and you shall receive" feature.
- paisible 15y agoOoops.. didn't realize I was browsing the "new" section :) Guess it's not that easy !

- templaedhel 15y agoThe links are rated with an algorithm, which equates to roughly points/time^2. If you are able to get several upvotes in a fairly short amount of time, that ratio will be high enough for you to get to the front page, where you hopefully get upvoted more. Don't try to create bogus accounts, as there are spam prevention measures in place.
