A HUGE number of the trends not featured on the front page are duplicates.</p><p> <b>Check Your Grammar</b> – If your post contains very poor grammar, then it may be excluded. Spell check and make sure the post is clearly written.</p><p> <b>Include Sources</b> – If you found your trend online, it’s common courtesy to include the link to the site or portfolio where you found your trend. It’s also ideal to include a link to the actual trend / product page.</p><p> <b>Nothing Bad</b> – No pornography, racism, plagiarism, or anything else that we deem as bad.</p><p> <b>Follow the Rules for Excerpts</b> – Write your own text.

Video pages generate more traffic because people want to click on your trend to watch the video. To find the Video code in YouTube, go to the video page, and look for the box that says EMBED right beside the video. Copy this code and place it in the VIDEO box. Similar steps work for other video hosting sites. Videos not from the listed sources will not embed natively but will still be viewable from your trend.</p></div> </div><div class='tfaq__toggleSecCont'> <div class='tfaq__toggleSecTitle'> <div class='tfaq__toggleSecTitleText'>Can I post personal updates?</div> <i class='tfaq__toggleSecTitleIcon material-icons'>expand_more</i> </div> <div class='tfaq__toggleSecContent'><p>In general you don’t want to add personal updates because it is better to keep your Trend Portfolio professional.</p></div> </div><div class='tfaq__toggleSecCont'> <div class='tfaq__toggleSecTitle'> <div class='tfaq__toggleSecTitleText'>DMCA Copyright Violations</div> <i class='tfaq__toggleSecTitleIcon material-icons'>expand_more</i> </div> <div class='tfaq__toggleSecContent'><p>If you see copyrighted content from your site posted on Trend Hunter, please let us know.

Also note that the majority of your traffic will come from Trend Hunter’s main page, so you want to get an article featured on the front page.</p><p> <b>Original Content</b> – If you find something unique, other sites on the internet will link to your trend. As a result, you will get dramatically more traffic. Some of our original trends receive 100 times more traffic than the average trend.</p><p> <b>Original Text</b> – Using excerpts is a quick way to add content, but when you add your own prose, you get unique content for search engines and you give your readers a reason to follow your portfolio.</p><p> <b>Minimum 2-3 Paragraphs</b> - If you only post one sentence, your trend will be less interesting and also less likely to rank well in search engines.</p><p> <b>Be Funny</b> – Funny = good.</p><p> <b>Add a Video</b> – Trends with Videos generate more traffic because everyone clicks the page to watch the video.</p><p> <b>Add a Gallery</b> – Trends with Galleries generate more traffic because everyone clicks the page to browse the gallery.</p><p> <b>Use Keywords</b> – You will drive significantly more content to your site if you use the keywords that people will search. For example, if you included the title, “New Laptop Looks Cool,” you will be far less successful than if you use the title, “See Through Laptops - The Transparent Dell XPS-1000 Laptop.”</p></div> </div><div class='tfaq__toggleSecCont'> <div class='tfaq__toggleSecTitle'> <div class='tfaq__toggleSecTitleText'>How can I drive more traffic to my portfolio??</div> <i class='tfaq__toggleSecTitleIcon material-icons'>expand_more</i> </div> <div class='tfaq__toggleSecContent'><p><b>Great Trends</b> - Following our advice for hot trends will be the single greatest driver to your portfolio’s popularity.</p><p> <b>Frequent Updates</b> - If you don’t update your content on a regular basis, people will stop checking for updates.</p><p> <b>Tell Everyone</b> – Let your friends know about Trend Hunter, include your URL as your signature in your e-mail, include your URL in forum posts you make and broadcast that you are a Trend Hunter!</p><p> <b>Maximize Your Traffic</b> - Don't just write articles -- promote them!
