why is one volume not in the rankings, and the other volume is?

[TinaMigarlo]

Every thing I wrote and posted, has some tag-ranking.
I'm not leading anything, trust me here.
but, its something.
Problem...

two volumes of a trilogy, are up
both share a tag in common.
one? has a tag-ranking.
the other? refuses to be a tag ranking.
even though, its the one with way higher views. It would be higher!

this is driving me nuts.
I posted on the regular section, but...
I just get... "yeah, sometimes it takes a couple days..."
I'm patient. its been w-e-e-k-s.

what the &^%$.

That might be an algorithm thing, and that's sort of kept a secret.

 

[TinaMigarlo]

I grasp that.
but how can two volumes in the *same* series be considered... algorithmically different.
they share the main title
they share the same cover, for the love of god

on the main SH help forums, someone asked if I changed a tag.
and that one? yeah, i saw the other had that tag, and it got a ranking in that tag ranking
so I put it on the other one, i had just missed that tag was all.
that's when they said, "oh, it could take a few days for the system to catch up..."
but like I said. weeks.

I wish I could answer that with something helpful. I know that there are some rankings tagged on my current stories to illustrate they are somewhere in the upper hierarchy, but then I see other ranked tags that show themselves in the hundredth position. Like, what does that mean? Why does it display that ranking but others are ignored?

I don't get it either.

Did you post both at the same time? Did both have the same tag applied when posted?

And I think the "simple" display only shows your top two rankings - so Strange Awakening is 17 in Delusions, 122 in superheroes,
Click on Show All Rankings and I get (for a long time it only showed the first one, Delusions, and it has moved between 21 and 16 to settle at 17)

#17 Delusions
#122 Superheroes
#134 Artifacts
#163 Couple Growth
#206 Arrogant Characters
#290 Charismatic Protagonist

Diamond In the Rough only shows the first two on Details, but on show all tags:

#58 Lovers Reunited
#102 Fourth Wall
#195 Quirky Characters
#235 Unique Weapons
#240 Playful Protagonist
#250 Mystery Solving
#461 Artifacts

True Blue only shows the first two until I hit show all

#140 Co-Workers
#146 Automatons
#169 Detectives
#371 Shapeshifters
#401 Genetic Modifications
#439 Superheroes

Interesting that the ones that seem least important to me, as the author, are the ones with the highest scores in almost every case

No. the first one of the two volumes in the trilogy, is the one with nothing.
can't find it manually digging thru any of the tag lists, either.
the other one was second, the second volume. it shows up normal, as do the other stand alone's.
now, that first one, the one perplexing me. I had forgotten a tag so I went back and added it.
"show all rankings", eh?

 

[Paul__Michaels]

Could be a gitch or that book got nailed for spamming a lot of chapters.

Regardless, if it bugs you that much, then repost that volume. It's not like it's drowning in views.

Ah - what is the title? People probably can find the second one easily (so it gets a ranking) but not the first one because they have to go to your profile or find a direct link (so it gets barely any hits that count). Might have to go into the "bug" forum at the top and mention your older work is not showing.
I had two that I happened to post at the wrong time, and they sat, one for a week, one for over a month, before I found out nobody could see them unless they followed my sig or went to my profile page. One was fixed within 24 hours of me mentioning it in the bug forum, one required a direct comment to the site admin along with proof that I "owned" it, as it first appeared on Royal Road before I reposted it here, and was up in two days after that.

@CharlieBrown...
see that's the thing. Of the two volumes? The one that isn't getting any ranking is the better performing one for views and engagement. I guess its coming up on "updated recent", or how else would they be finding it.

我所写和发布的每件事都有一些标签排名。
我不会领导任何事情,相信我。
但是,这是有原因的。
问题...

三部曲的两卷已出版
两者都有一个共同的标签。
一？具有标签排名。
另一个？拒绝成为标签排名。
尽管如此,它的浏览量还是高得多。会更高！

这让我发疯。
我在常规部分发帖,但是...
我只是得到... "是的,有时需要几天时间..."
我有耐心。一直都是这样。

&^%$ 是什么。

Me too, it's the same for me.
