How I Won the Associated Content Top 1000 Badge
This makes sense, as page views are a measurement of a content producer's popularity and in turn, the popularity of the entire website. Page views increase Associated Content's clout in regards to the entire Web and they play a significant role in ad revenue. The more page views obtained by Associated Content, the more they can charge advertisers.
The ironic twist about my "Top 1000" achievement is that I don't promote my work at all. Since I write under a pen name, I prefer to keep my true identity private. So I refuse to post my articles to my Facebook page, or send my articles to friends to read.
I also don't have the time to maintain a blog which has links back to my Associated Content articles, although I have read many tutorial articles which give instructions on how to perform these exact article-promoting actions.
Every time I was about to start a blog, I reconsidered this decision based on the fact that a blog needs constant maintenance and attention. And then, every time I wanted to post a really great article to Facebook, I changed my mind due to the possibility that I was risking giving away my pen name identity. So, in the end, I just let my articles gain exposure on their own.
I think that the other factor in receiving this award was the amount of articles I contributed, although the pace was inconsistent. I joined at the end of January 2008 but didn't write any articles during the months of July, August, September and October. I plan on doing the same things in 2009 that I did last year, only now I have one year of experience with article writing and will use that knowledge to my advantage.
