NOTE: The following is being reposted from "the million view club" thread because I thought it was interesting and might not be seen without a thread of its own. Go to the third paragraph for the "view/post ratio" stuff. Everything below refers to the E&V section only..
"Its been over two years since i started this ("the million view club") thread, and it is exciting to see how much OCC has grown since that time. Right now, there are 33 threads in the exhibitionist and Voyeur forum alone that are over the 1 million view mark. That is a whopping increase since 2010. I just noticed that my "Tribal Women" thread is the latest to pass this milestone.
Osreb tops the list as the author of the most threads over the million view mark. I recall he started many of these shortly after it was suggested he author more of his own threads. And now many of those he started back around Jan 2010 or so are over the 1 million mark. Congratulations, Osreb! Gleanman, myself, Zeban and Brolla are the only other users with two or more threads in the one million view club (Exhibitionist and voyeur forum only!).
Another thing you can look at here is the
view/post ratio which kind of gives you sense for how popular are these threads taking into account their overall size. For example, Sal's "life's a Beach" thread has the most views of any thread (again, E&V forum only), at over 5 million. But it also has the most posts at 3,713. That gives that thread a view/post ratio of 5,000,000/3713 or 1614 views
per post. This is somewhere in the middle compared to other threads with over a million views. Interestingly, the thread with the highest view/post ratio is the "girls looking at Cocks" thread at 4865. This is an indicator of a thread topic with a high "niche" market - meaning many users avidly seek out that type of pic. Then there are some threads with a view/post ratio of under 1000. PEdro's 2011 beach pics thread is like a lot of threads with a ratio of between 1000 and 1500 views per post. But overall, I think the view/post ratio can give you a sense for the overall popularity of individual pics and posts in that thread. No. of posts vs no. of pics might not always correlate too well, but you get the point.
Interestingly, as you go back through the threads in the E&V section by views, the view/post ratio is pretty consistent. It seems to average around 500-2000 or so regardless of the total view count. Rare is the ratio above 4000, but I did find a couple (you find more as you go further back i.e. threads with 1 post and over 4000 views are more common. Most threads get a minimum of 1000-2000 views). Anyway, it seems one way to guarantee a high ratio is to add provocative words to the thread title. The following words seem to guarantee more than the usual number of views/post: "Student" (or any reference to school), "daughter" (or sister, etc), party themes (incl the words party, club, stripclub, bar etc) and "beach". Also clothed/naked themes are popular, as well as threads with the words "nudist, naturist, or naturism" in the title. Then there were the threads titled "camping out" and "nice neighborhood" which both had ratios over 3000. Go figure, but the "Girls looking at Cocks" thread still ranks about no 1 in terms of the view/post ratio even as you go back through the board quite a ways. This is very interesting - its a clothed/naked theme but it doesn't even guarantee you a naked female!
Anyway, so how should one name a thread to guarantee the highest view/post ratio? Heh, heh....
How about something like:
"Naturist's daughter shocks school by baring it all at prom party..!!"
I'd bite......
