Helium title closed Grrrrrr!

LOL. I didn't think you had an ego as such. LOL I think it is hard to maintain a writing score on Helium because of how the rating system works. I think you can maintain your score if you can get raters that are decent. Your writing is great, I don't know what the rating problem is.

Yes, I think they started closing them around the time of the title splitting adventure. As has been mentioned, with 399 articles in a title very few of them are actually being read each month. That is, unless of course you have a following of readers and your fan base grows each month, but more than likely they are just there. Which in a sense might be ok since if you had a handful of articles posted to titles that had over 100 submissions a) it would be easier to be in the top 25% and b) you could repost them elsewhere for page views. I have been concentrating mostly on empty titles up til now because it is how I maintained my writing score but that has become more difficult lately. I can not seem to pull it above 80.something and I can not stabilize it there either. I realize that as long as it does not dip below 75 it's all good, as the saying goes, but my ego wants to see it soar again up where it belongs.

Well, it is finally starting to creep back up again. If you can pick the right competitive titles it helps, but pick the wrong ones and you are you-know-what out of luck. I can't wait to see what it is tomorrow after today's empty title post.

Awwww! That's really sweet of you! Thanks!

I found another title that had several articles and I think last check I was rated number 3! That made me fee good. I posted another empty title this evening and checked my writing score and it was actually above 81 for the first time in forever!

i just hop eyou feel better this time and that hug relieves you in a way...here's more mama hugsssssss!

Well, I looked at the list and found a similar title. The focus is a bit different which means a re-write and there are 6 articles for the titles. That means no upfront payment and less of a chance of being in the top 25%. If I post to this title I could actually harm my writing score instead of improving it. If this were a different title and I felt my article would absolutely be the best I might do it but I doubt there will be much page view income if any from it. I now know to check to see if I can submit a new article before I spend the time churning one out. Live and learn...
