Apsense Overdose?

Hi at all, Im from Germany, maby everybuddy can dranslate it in german please.
Thanks at all
Monika

I rate all abc sites... fairly HIGH because so many have just joined... can only get to this on weekends or a few hours a week...

It's ridiculous to give someone low scores...

You can turn off the feature.. "to be scored" in your business area... I just turned my on not knowing it was off... because someone couldn't seem to rate me! LOL! Dang! Maybe I should have left it turned off! LOL!

Also i decided to turn off the fly in... I promote it somewhere where they review and lots don't lik

This business votes I am not too keen on. I am NOT running for office but now I have to act like a politician? This is something I do not like, politics in the work place needs to go. It has caused more problems than it has solved.

I have way more to offer than this site can possibly handle. However with the voting system, people WILL judge you on that score. I am not going to be able to please everyone. This is something I just cannot do. As for some of the features I can't use them anyway.

It does take alot of work here but I guess it all depends on how bad you want your biz to take off. Do nothing and receive nothing, just keeppushing forward for a better tomorrow.Stay positine and believe in yourself and no matter what, smile and have fun.

The point system and this spamming thing concerns me. I am a member of several social networks, but Apsense makes me work harder. I was on vacation a week, and had to recover the following week from my vacation and it was like I was punished for not signing in. I lost points. The point system and now the rating system? So if I am popular I get votes, but if not I don't. It took me months to build my website, but now I have to put that same kind of concentrated effort into my business cente

I am afraid that i too am finding so many additions and changes to ApSEnse in such a short time BAFFLING! . just when i though I knew what i was doing - it has changed!!.

ApSense is a wonderful community and it is fantastic that it is being constantly improved for us to use. However I thinkit is time to consolidate what we have so that we can start to use the new features to their best advantage.

Then it will be possible for a webinar to be set up to teach us how to use it well.

The only t

Did I miss something????

Too many naps??

Where and what is the Trafic Exchange and where do find out Informatiom??

Thank you good friends

Hi Val,

Sorry I am naturally mathematically minded and relate things very quickly that way.

What you suggest is exactly what I think is happening in the “majority” of cases and this is why sites with nothing on them are getting higher averages than sites with a little content that were correctly rated lower due to lack of content.

There is nothing wrong with giving a lower score for a site with only one short paragraph on one page.
This will give the person incentive to ad

Bill you math is making me go cross-eyed.

Could it be possible that people think they are just surfing and they click the vote now without changing the default 5 in the number bar?

Hi Karen,

Figure this out. Yester day I had a 7.8 with I think it was 10 votes Today I had a 7.4 with 12 votes now its a 7.2 with 13 votes if you do the simple math it tells you someone voted
2 voted an average of 5.5 each and one voted a 4.
Now I am not saying it is worth a 10 but its definitely worth more than a 4. So either it is someone deliberately voting me down or they have no idea what a reasonable site should look like.

I have put a good bit of work into it to make it prese

Bill,

I have noticed the same thing. Your BC should be at least a 8-10 average, if people were voting strictly on the content. This is my issue with these types of voting systems - it becomes a popularity contest, or worse...

With these systems in place, one has to be very careful about even offering help. If you give someone some advice or feedback on their ABC to help them out, they can come back and unfairly score you. I have offered friendly advice to people who have sent me blate

Hi Phyllis! Cool to see you here. As Kristian is saying, there are ALOT of tools here at APSense - so I think it appears to be more complicated than it is.

I am going to put together some webinar training sessions for APSense. Things like building your ABC. I know that there are many who can benefit, but quite honestly, I am finding it difficult to get word out to see whether it would be worth while to organize (ie. registering). the APSense group would be the most sensible, but the sp

Hi Val

I had to ask as your post said your pages were being ranked low yet there was no way to see that as far as I was aware and I thought maybe you had found a way that I had missed.

Amy said in her post that All sites were set to No in the "Publish to the Bussiness Exchange" option, but it looks like either a few may have slipped through the net or people are activating them without adding content first not realising they will be making it harder for themselves later when they do hav

I havea great audio but with the very small file we are allowed to use I can not add my audio file so it it basically a useless feature.

Bill

The account page shows you have votes without showing the score, you are right I didn’t see the score until it hit 5.

I just knew people were on a page that wasn’t done. It didn’t matter what the score was.

Valerie

Hi Val

I am confused as to how could you know what rating you were getting as it does not show until you get 5 votes?

I see you have a 6.8 with 5 votes. That is better than I had at 5 votes and my BC had content.


As a general comment for everyone If you have not set up your BC make sure it is not set to publish in the Business Exchange until you have got some content on it. That way it wont get low votes that you will need to overcome later.

I have seen a lot of BC's with absolute

Kristian
Your Team is doing great
Very innovative stuff you are Implementing

Yes, I agree the ApSense team is putting it out there, but the new people
are joining, and their ABC's are included in the traffic exchange the same day.
I thought you had to turn this feature on first.
Is it optional?

Selya

Kristian and team. You're doing an awesome job! Thank you.

I have written a brief blog for newbies that I send them to when they join with me. I won't place the link here so I don't get reported! :) lol

It's a simple 3 step explanation for where to begin.

Reminds me..must add the ABC as step 4, to the blog info.
