Getting people to visit your gallery is an interesting alchemy. There are multiple factors involved. Here is what I observed after almost 3 years of Renderosity. - Post at the right time Depending on what day and time you post your image, your images will be 'covered' by new images more or less quickly. Most people check out 'what's new' by lack of time. If your image reaches 5 pages or more in the 'what's new' area, it is not new anymore and less and less people will visit it. - Choose your public Do you want a lot of visits ? do something popular (like 'half naked victorias in temples' in the poser gallery). Do you want comments ? do something really good or really controversial (ask about 'legume' to poser veterans). Be careful to remain within the limits of the Term o Service though. Do you want to display something original ? Then be ready to accept getting less people and less messages. But the massages and visits you will get will be more rewarding and more meaningful. - Be patient Give yourself time to be known. Unless you create instant masterpieces, it takes time to get to a point where what you do stands out and makes people want to see it. - Participate Ask questions or offer comments or answers in the multiple forums. That's another way to encourage people to look at your work. - Choose thumbnails carefully Thumbnails in your gallery are your advertisement. A well chosen view on your image goes a long way to attract people. To concur with MightyPete, it all comes down to a question of links. The more links to your gallery exist elsewhere on the web, the more people will be directed to your gallery. After that, it is a matter of keeping them and making them come back.
