I assume when my hits go up but the kudos don't that people hated the fic, so there's that. Not that I'm always obsessively vigilant about my hits, but sometimes you notice.

[(Anonymous)]

It doesn't necessarily mean that they hated it. Many people just don't bother to leave kudos on older fic or they could be reading it again.

[asecretchord]

What do you consider a good hit to kudos ratio to be? I don't know of any story out there that has it 1:1. My kudos are about 3% or so. Should I hang my head in shame? I'm only mostly kidding about that. ;)

[ninety6tears]

Well, even like a 10:1 ratio I would think is getting quite a lot, it's only when the hits are climbing really fast with no result that I would really notice (hits should always be a good amount higher anyway, because people will reread or visit the page just to bookmark, etc.)

[(Anonymous)]

30 hits to 1 kudo at minimum, 25 hits to 1 kudo preferred. It works for the Avengers fandom but I don't know if it works for other fandoms.

[(Anonymous)]

I look for similar ratios on fic -- but multi-chapter fics tend to have far worse ratios, and I can't decide how to adjust for that. Like for a ten chapter fic, do you assume each kudo counts x10? Or x5? Or just figure no matter what you do, the ratio will be wildly inaccurate.

[(Anonymous)]

No, I take my baseline ratio and add a couple of hits for word count, chapter count, and how long since the first chapter was published. The total hits matter too - I'll read something with 60 hits to 1 kudo if it has 10,000 hits or more but I probably won't read something with 45 hits to 1 kudo if it has less than 5000 hits.

[anonymouslyyours]

Um, because of this comment I just found out you can leave kudos without an ao3 account. So thank you!

And maybe some of your hits were from dumbasses like me who didn't know what to say in a comment and just slunk off?

[ninety6tears]

And maybe some of your hits were from dumbasses like me who didn't know what to say in a comment and just slunk off? LOL, we've all done it. I don't know, I just figure it can't possibly be that hard to just click the kudos button if they didn't dislike the fic? But maybe people really do save them for the really good exceptional stuff.

[anonymouslyyours]

I was kind of suggesting that I might not be the only accountless reader who didn't know kudos were for everybody but weren't up to a whole comment?

And for what it's worth I do like to reread things so maybe some of your hits are from people who've already kudos'ed?

[ninety6tears]

Ah, I see. I've done the same just out of forgetting I hadn't kudo'd when I was busy bookmarking or whatever. Anyway, this is all turning into some "How dare people not leave kudos if they liked the fic!?" overanalysis I didn't quite mean to imply.

[forgottenjester]

I tend to only kudos if I really, really liked (general) your fic. As in, I thought it was above average.

So people's standards of Kudos giving may be different from yours.

[wauwy]

A lot of people don't leave kudos for porn, actually. They just kind of uh... use it and move on.

I'll admit myself guilty of this.
