How do YOU get views/clicks?

pegasasu • 3 February 2014 at 6:09 PM

Some people use click exchange websites like Egg Cavern. There was another click exchange website that I don't remember the name of, but it started with a Y, I believe. Some people use glitter-graphics, too.

Just curious. What are your strategies? 😃

I bump myself to the top of the Livepulse at times by commenting on giveaways and contests like the cheap lazy person I am. C:

@pegasasu I use egg cavern and Hydra for clicks 😸 Otherwise to gain more views I just post around the forum every day and keep the creature I want to get views as my profile creature.

You are probably thinking of yarolds? I know some people use that website, I tried signing up for an account there but for some reason I was unable to join. ☹️

Hope that helps. I'm looking for more websites that help with views, so if anyone has a good website, let me know! 😊 lol

@hayz

Pfff, nice. xD

@aedia

Ah what's Hydra? OHH, YES IT WAS YAROLD'S! Thank you. I love Yarold's. It gets immortals really quickly.

@pegasasu

I use both Egg Cavern and Yarold's, and I have occasionally used Hydra as well. Yarold's is how my older creatures have such high levels. The way I do it there is I would post a link to my profile for the views, and for the clicks, I change my creature's links a tad bit.

Before Yarold's, I used to think it was almost impossible to give creatures clicks aside from getting other users to do it for you. As such, the creatures that needed clicks to hatch and evolve were the tougher ones.

This is hyrda: http://idarionis.com/hydra/index.php I have been using it with my ott lately and within a few days it has evolved to stage one, then to the second stage:
http://www.eggcave.com/egg/948703

I usually try doing a 100 credits on hydra each day, which helps a lot. I use egg cavern as well, although I don't seem to get as many clicks that way. 😊

From what I've heard, yarolds is better than the others, but I can't use it so I just have hydra and cavern. 😊

pegasasu • 6 February 2014 at 5:43 PM

@kamoodle5 @aedia

Has Yarold's activity gone down in the past year or so? I used to have to have at least 1000 credits a day, and now I've only used about 50 credits a day. o-o

@pegasasu

Not sure. I am still getting quite a few clicks from just the dynasty only though. I have 20 links up and spent over a thousand credits.

@pegasasu

I use Egg Cave's forum livepulse for views, and Egg Cavern for clicks. I'm working on immortalization right now, and Egg Cavern is helping a lot.

karamel • 7 February 2014 at 7:05 AM

@pegasasu Depends where you're showing your link (Main, History, Dynasty) and whether you're in a dynasty (so that more users can click you). 😋

Egg Cave (and other 'action') links tend to get around 200+ clicks a day, but 'non-action' links (like Magistream) tend to get... well, anywhere between 500 and 1000 clicks.

I use a combination of Yarolds, Hydra, and Egg Cavern. Hydra's okay: *pokes Clicks leaderboard* I'm using Yarolds + Hydra for immortalising starling's Crishorse and Yarolds for my Lyf. Hydra gives you about 100 more clicks in addition to Yarolds. I still prefer Yarolds, though, simply because it takes longer to click other people's links in Hydra--it only shows 25 links at a time, and then there's that timer as well. >_>;;

I just keep my Lyf in Egg Cavern all the time, but as you might see from the leaderboards, Yarolds + Egg Cavern =/= Yarolds + Hydra. In order of the number of clicks you can get, Yarolds is best, then Hydra, then ECN.

@karamel @kamoodle5

Oh yup, I'm in a dynasty, though I'm not sure if it's very active. <_>;

But thank you for the tips!!

karamel • 8 February 2014 at 9:44 AM

@pegasasu The top three dynasties (The Mob, The pick of the bunch, and WolfPack Talent Finders [which is my dynasty]) are better, but yours is pretty decent for now. 😊

liza200aa • 8 February 2014 at 10:05 AM

@pegasasu
I actually just feed people and have them feed back. 😋 I don't even change my featured, so all of my immortal critters (With the exception of Bloomezla and the ones I traded for) are immortalized completely by egg cave feeds and feedbacks. 😸

(Am I the only one that still does only that?)

@pegasasu

Also, while I am surfing at my preferred sites, I have been using addons on my FF to help it go faster. On my XP box, I can actually use the 'Open All' in Yarold's and it can handle all the links simultaneously, but pretty slowly. It's a lucky thing I have some good RAM for the job. That's when the addons make it slightly easier at least. These are what I use:

Right Links
Snap Links Plus (what I used before was a different addon but did the same function. I think it was something like Multilinks or something.)
Flashblock
Greasemonkey (Yarold's Non Action Close It)

pegasasu • 9 February 2014 at 10:38 AM

@kamoodle5

Ohhh those are addons? I use Chrome (sticky links) to open multiple links. I can usually handle 15 links at a time, and it'll load 'em all within five seconds or so, but for EggCave/MiniCity links, I can only open ten at a time.

Wait, what's a Non Action Close It?

karamel • 9 February 2014 at 11:26 AM

@pegasasu If you join the WolfPack (which is the dynasty I'm in), we can give you loads of tips on clicking and some useful add-ons. c: Or you can mail me on Yarolds (my username is the same as here) and I can give you my own tips; I usually click ~1500 links within 15 minutes. If it helps, I don't bother with CARE (action links); it just wastes time and you can easily click over 1500 links without that.

Here are the ones we recommend on Firefox:
- AdBlock (some ads can really slow down your computer. Obviously you can add various sites to your whitelist if you want--I have Egg Cave on my whitelist.)
- FlashBlock (MiniCity links use Flash and they tend to slow down your computer /a lot/. Like AdBlock, you can add sites--like YouTube--to your whitelist)
- SnapLinks
- Chatzilla (just a browser-based IRC client; not entirely necessary)
- GreaseMonkey (allows you to use user-made scripts, like Yarolds Non Action CloseIt)

And on Chrome:
- AdBlock
- FlashBlock
- SnapLinks Lite (less features than FF's snaplinks, though)
- TamperMonkey (GreaseMonkey doesn't have a Chrome version, but TM is pretty much the same)

Yarolds Non Action CloseIt is here: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/149734
In basic terms, it closes the non-action links (Dragon Cave, Virtuadopt, etc.) and leaves the action links (Egg Cave, KofK, etc.) open. It doesn't have /all/ the non-action links, though. I can send you the full version I have if you'd like. 😊

pegasasu • 9 February 2014 at 6:02 PM

@karamel

I don't exactly understand what TamperMonkey/the Non Action CloseIt does, but I installed everything for Chrome you recommended nonetheless. Thank you so much! I'll join WolfPack now; my username on Yarold's is the same as here as well.

karamel • 10 February 2014 at 11:35 AM

@pegasasu The Non-Action CloseIt just automatically closes the links that don't require further action (also known as "non-CARE"), such as Magistream, Tale of Dragons, Dragon Cave, etc. 😊

I've sent you some mail; glad to hear it~! c:

pegasasu • 10 February 2014 at 4:15 PM

@karamel

I don't know how to use Yarold's very well. I didn't even know that you could send mail xD

ashkir • 12 February 2015 at 3:38 PM

On Hydra is there a team to join or something?

Where can I find Egg Cavern?
