Q #1

This is one of those touchy questions that finding the correct answer to might very well make that answer no longer true...

But I'll ask it anyway.

Given the traffice in the galleries, given that people have times they like to view and times they ignore the place, and there are times it gets flooded with a lot of junk and times it gets flooded with good work, and other times when there is a little of one or the other...

What is the ideal time and day of the week to post up an image for maximum exposure?

Does it differ if your posting pin-ups, NVITWS, fantasy, outdoor landscapes, toon work, realism attempts, photography, 2D work, series, Vue, Poser, Bryce, etc...?

Does it differ at different sites? Here, daz, 3dcommune, artzone, elsewhere...

Q #2:

And following on that, how else can one 'maximize' their exposure?

When I started here, I though I was doing poor if I got less than a 1000 views, now I find a great view count to be around 300 - even as my feedback in comments gets more positive and, in my opinion, the quality of my work goes up. Frankly, there is just too much -other- clutter now and I feel like I am one person in a crowded plaza shouting out for someone to see me...

Some of my best work has the least exposure, and my worst work the highest, simply as a result of improving over time as the community became larger and I had less chance to 'stand out'.

Today's galleries (on many different websites) have all kinds of tools to let select preferred brown-nosers stand out, and even when I brosw other's works I often find the best people to be the least well known.

So what can those of us on the obscure end do to be seen more?

Truth has no value without backing by unfounded belief.
