Really, a lot of the time, it's all about promotion. While some people hits boggle my mind, a lot of it has to deal with where you're published, if you got something people keep tuning into (like a comic), and how well you keep your public aware of where you are and what you do.

Not everyone will be hitting 3000 hits, mind you... but how many of those kinds of people do you want to be? I'd much rather have 20 people that really liked what I did, then 3000 people who like what I think they should like.

... but that's starting to wander onto a different topic, though.

I think it depends on how you present your art on DA.

If it looks flashy when it is in it's small thumbnail size, then there are more chances of people clicking on it to see the full view.

If not, then you know why your artworks will have less than 100 views in that 24 hour period.

I dont think Picasso, Van Gogh, Rothko, Kandinsky and Munch would use DA. God i dont think even Wannalee would show her work here, and shes an elephant!!!!

Problem is DA is aimed at photography, graphic and digital art. The true potential of traditional art cant be accessed here. Scanners and photos of art work dont have the same quality as illustrations and cartoons as most of them ARE done on the computer. Then this has attracted loads of teens who want anime, cartoons, fanart etc which has in turn bred more art of this type and more new users, in the end completely wiping out other forms of art.

You have to be thankful though. I would much rather have a few educated and well informed comments on my page then page after page of 'thats so good' or 'wow'.

I also think there is a viral aspect. Once a submission hits a certain number of views it takes off.

Like this one that has almost half a million views.




I've been on dA for since August 2005 and I have 7,100 page view TOTAL. And I'm not too bad at what I do.

Meh.

you're right. Must be a viral thing. It's a very good work but so many views is hard to understand.
