Constant Content

hey guys i'm relatively new here at constant content (still waiting for my first article to be reviewed)!
I've got a question. May i know what does the purchase rating indicate in the public requests section?

Another query i have is regarding the no. of hits i get. My first article is still under review and it has 4 hits. What is the significance of this?

Would really appreciate it if someone could enlighten me. Thanks in advance

Welcome to CC!

The purchase rating is the number of articles that customer has bought. So a customer with a 12 purchase rating has bought 12 articles, a customer with a 100 purchase rating has bought 100, etc.

If an article is still under review, customers can't see it. So the hits your article has received most likely comes from you. I believe when you go in to review your article - to check that all the spacing turned out right before Ed sees it - it shows as one hit.

Or 4 hits if you looked at the article 4 times. To prove it, hit "edit" and open the article again. You will go to 5 hits.

The next question is why so many hits after you are published? Other authors check out articles and add to the hit count. I had an article on the main page for awhile and it got over 30 hits but I suspect most are from other authors checking out my article written for a public request.

Ah i see. Thanks for the help amy and jadedragon!
