How long did it take you to get in the ''popular'' tag?

I got no idea when the first time one of my comics showed up there, but No Future tends to pop in and out daily (I also update daily... which actually kicks it OUT of the popular section =_= really annoying and horrible for new traffic...) while Raven Wolf will sometimes jump in there after updating (my schedule for Raven Wolf is very all over the place at the moment)

my comic just recently in popular and trending tag. 1st time I saw it in front of Tap site. I started about 2 months ago and had around 230+ subs.

Still haven't been in the popular tag. Not sure if I've ever been in the "trending" section either.

Umm I'm actually not very sure, but I think within the first few weeks, I remember my friend telling me she saw it on there at the time.
Now it appears more frequently on there and stays for around a day.

I haven't really kept track - mostly it's readers who have alerted me to it whenever my comic pops up there - but I know it took me about 4 months or so before it happened the first time?

It happens every now and then - usually right after an update, or if a reader goes through and methodically 'like's every page - but it only lasts for about an hour or so every time. Unless you count the Winter Fest-collab episode, when I was in the popular tag for nearly 24 hours straight.

It seems like it took months to most people. xD I have no idea if my comic appeared before in any of the tags before Staff picks, but I know it popped back and forth after. Most of the times just for a few hours or so?? I think it was roughly around 3-4 months. I didn't know so much time passed because I was enjoying making the pages a loooot.

From when I first started a year ago, it took me about six or seven months to regularly reach the Popular section in any manner. When I hit around 170 subscribers, it was much more often, but not for any significant amount of time. There was a time when I hit the front page...

But that was only for like... an hour.
And that was a long time ago.
I had since started over and I hit the Trending page only once in awhile. Not often at all. Probably gonna take another six months to get there.

Does "Trending" for your particular category count?

Beast Bait was on the second page of Fantasy Trending a couple of weeks ago. I just checked and it's not there anymore, unfortunately. I don't know how, although I was getting a lot of likes on my pages I still only have 18 subs so can't say the trend proved itself to be an actual "trend".

We've been on and off of the popular and trending boards lately, but never really both at the same time. Took us about a week from regular updates.

I saw Susan's Secret Stash on trending.

Aspie_Gamer 2016-03-10 19:16:38 UTC #24

Is that so? Thanks for telling me. Both you and @bouncyegg

I've never been in the popular tag but I've been in trending plenty of times.

I think I wound up on the popular tag the one time I was featured on daily snack, but that's just the one time. A couple of times after that I've seen it creep up on trending, but never very high

Kelty 2016-03-12 02:10:35 UTC #27

I suppose it's somewhat common for comics to crop up in Trending from time to time? What are the requirements? I imagine the Popular tab requires a large amount of subscribers as well as frequent activity? I still don't know how this site works. ;-;

Nightlight was on the Trending tab on the front page the day it went up and stuck around in that section for a little while before disappearing. My 15 minutes have come and gone so quickly :'D

Comics can pop up in Trending when the series is getting a lot of views/likes/comments in the past hour or so. Popular is pretty much the same but over a longer period of time.

Mharz 2016-03-12 02:18:27 UTC #29

I never got into the popular. It's sad but I just can't get that traction. I did get into trending once last year but that's about it.

Now if you don't mind I'm just gonna crawl under my blankets and cry...

Cosmos Song started showing up on the popular and trending lists in the middle of last month according to my fiance, so it took about 2 months since the comic's launch to start doing that. If he hadn't checked, I probably would have never noticed that it ever ended up in popular or trending in the first place, as I don't actively check xD.

Now it seems I tend to show up in both lists now if i've recently updated.

I actually don't think Radio Silence has trended before, at least from what I've seen. Looking forward to the day when I catch that! I've only recently started to do proper page by page updates so I think that might have something to do with it.

Never been popular in anything, so I can't say. Given the nature and youth of my project being hosted here, along with me generally being a newbie, I don't see my comic getting much attention. While it would to cool to experience a flood of people liking your work, I'm fine with hiding in my little corner of the internet, too much positive attention makes me nervous anyways. <_<
