VB, when we compare the views of the current #1 and #2 celebs in the picture galleries, the one on #2 has more views then how come the #1 has more view points?

Well this is a Weekly Ranking so we are simply taking into account the views/comments/active fans for that particular week.

On the other hand the view count that we see in the Images is total view count for that image since it was published.

People count the views every week and keep track of things, so knows the weekly changes that happens in the profile.

I really doubt some tools are contributing to view points. Would request you to take a look at that possibility.

I am sorry to say i am still not satisfy with ur answer bcoz after this i had visited his profile and got to see very less activity and they made a same comment what Barun, Sanaya, Gurmeet and Drashti fans made for their favourities for example "Karan Mehra You are an excellent Actor"

I dont find any uniqueness in their comment as you said.

Well after you mentioned even I went and checked and I noticed that even though the first 2-3 pages shows less activity but just when "2 days ago" starts there are more comments and there is no mistake in the calculation that would favor any particular actor.

Regarding the comment uniqueness and qualtiy we do check that from time to time and that is when you see sudden decrease in number of comments. We encourage members to post feedback / comments instead of posting just the name of the actor repeatedly or "I love xyz every day". Just dont think about the Ranking when you comment rather put your thoughts that even the actor or fellow fans would find it interesting to read.

Soon we will have the Most liked Comments this week coming so that people with more interesting comments are highlighted and doesnt gets lost in the heap of low quality or spammy comments.

Oh yes! past many weeks i have been wondering about this!! Simply cz he has been getting more comments than both Sanaya and Drashti! 😲

I have nothing against him.. so no offense meant to him or his fans.. but it seriously odd how 0 post newbies that are filled in his FC is posting many pages of comments and getting away with it!

See I know top celebs are the mostly likely ones to have high MIDs. BUT cz of that the lower levels ones easily get away as IF doesn't seem to check those at all!!

See all of these almost all r 0 post MIDs!! And almost all of them r posting comments! This is damn baffling cz when i login and by mistake try commenting twice for the celebs i comment for I get this IP address issue! So how r they even managing it!

And honeslty how is a 600+ fan club competing with 8000+ 2 fan clubs? 😲

Well there are several 0 Post Newbies on several Fan Clubs and that's not a crime. We are actively blocking the Proxy IPs and there are several checks to prevent MIDs from posting comments.

When we check and apply the rule to delete the MIDs or Duplicate Comments its not just run on select few celebs rather its done throughout. But for Celebs with large Fanclubs / Comments gets more affected cause there are more MIDs detected in there so there is a considerable drop compared to others.

The rules are same for all the members so if you are getting an IP issue when making comments more then the set number its the same for all the members irrespective of the Celeb profile they are making the comment on.

Mr.Vijay, does the comments in buzz articles, video and pics count towards viewpoints or comments? and does that include all the old buzz articles, video and pics, meaning if we comment on an old article, does it counts towards the points?
Also 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?

I know this was answered before but need little more clarification, 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?

Thanks

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.

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.

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.

What about commenting on past Articles. Is it counted?

What about viewing / commenting on old pictures of a celebrity. Is it counted in Views and Comments ?

Yes

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.

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.

Can you please explain "more search hits"..? unique views...what is the gap between each view..earlier you mentioned system takes dump every hour..so should there be a gap of 1 hour between two views on same page for it to be treated as unique view count?

a) Search Hits are traffic that comes directly from Search Engines when users are searching for the particular Celebrity. We do count them as +1 views.

b) Unique View: We only count +1 view per IP on a particular page in an hour. As every hour we have to consolidate the raw data logs into hourly log for further processing.

Does it get equally divided among all celebrities and shows tagged? If for a particular articke 3 celebs are tagged each gets 1/3 and same article if 2 shows are tagged each 1/2?

Comments posted within how much time are counted? Entire week or till its shown as new?

Are videos counted in buzz?

Yes. For Celebrity Ranking we divide that among all the Celebs Tagged and for ChaskaMeter we divide it between all the shows tagged.

Comments posted within how much time are counted? Entire week or till its shown as new?

The whole week.

Are videos counted in buzz?

Nopes. But they get counted in Views and Comments.

omg, so this means that if a profile comment has one 'like' or 30 'likes', or many 'dislikes', it makes no difference at all to the overall comments points, right?? so only the views of each page of comments we go through while 'liking' comments counts towards views points, and not comments points? and does this hold true for buzz points on articles and view points on pics too, does a like or dislike on comments there also not affect total buzz/view points? please could u reconfirm this, i was always told something different than this and i'm a bit shocked! thank u :)

*and thank u for this thread, its been very helpful :)
