How is Buzz Point Calculated? Buzz Points are calculated based on the Views and Comments together. For maximum Buzz Point the article has to get both Views and Comments. As together they reflect how much buzz it really created. So articles with less views and comments gets less Points compared to an article with more views and more comments.
This was done so that even if there are extra number of articles but they are not attracting enough views / comments means they have failed to create much buzz and thus less Buzz points. So that way just having an article just wont help much. Its at the end how many people are reading and commenting on that.
1)Does the comments in buzz articles towards viewpoints or comments?
No. Comments on articles are not counted in Comment Point or Views Point as they are already getting considered while computing the Buzz Point.
2)Does the comments in video and pics count towards viewpoints or comments?
Yes. Comments in video / pics do count towards Comments. But when we do comment we do actually visit the video/pic so it also adds to the views too.
12)What about commenting on past Articles. Is it counted?
No
13)What about viewing / commenting on old pictures of a celebrity. Is it counted in Views and Comments ?
Yes
14)There are many pages under comments, fanclubs, photos, news etc. does viewing these pages count towards views? Example, if photogallery has 14 pages, can viewing 14 pages of photo gallery count towards 14 views without even clicking on a single pic?
Yes. But there is an internal check to ensure that its a natural browsing behavior and not something which is done using "Bots" or multiple pages being opened simultaneously just to inflate the views. And there is a capping on the number of views we count through when browsing different pages so that celebs with less number of pages are not at a disadvantage.
15)Does viewing an article, pic or a page in celebrity profile multiple times within a hour still constitutes as only 1 view, meaning it will be counted only once towards viewpoints?
Each Article / Pic / or Celeb Page will get +1 View. So lets say you browsed 1 article + 2 images + 1 celeb profile page in an hour it will be 4 views. However just want to clear that since the views for article is used in computing Buzz points they are not added again in View Points.
16)Does it get equally divided among all celebrities and shows tagged? If for a particular article 3 celebs are tagged each gets 1/3 and same article if 2 shows are tagged each 1/2?
Yes. For Celebrity Ranking we divide that among all the Celebs Tagged and for ChaskaMeter we divide it between all the shows tagged.
17)Comments posted within how much time are counted? Entire week or till its shown as new?
The whole week.
18)Are videos counted in buzz?
Nope. But they get counted in Views and Comments.
