vladi Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 We are currently de-cluttering so I regularly look at the “Wanted” section to see if someone is looking for something that I may wish to dispose of in the near future. I am amazed at the number of views for posts which appear not to have elicited a single response. Some posts have zero responses despite recording between 1,000 and 2,000 views. This far exceeds the number of views per individual item in the “For Sale” section. Any suggestions?

Administrator Joe Posted September 24 Administrator Share Posted September 24 My guess: The For Sale board has a much higher turnaround of items being sold. Items will usually be listed on page 1 for a day. While on the Wanted board, it will take a week or longer for your post to appear off of page 1.

I get that but what I can't figure out why someone would read a particular post for a wanted item when they don't have an item to offer? Like on Monday, I made a post wanting a "garden bench". It got 495 views! So what would prompt 495 people to view the post if they didn't have something to offer? To further this research, I will adjust the header of my post and see what happens.

So what would prompt 495 people to view the post if they didn't have something to offer? I can provide one data point. I was one of the guilty who looked at that one. I looked at it specifically to see if it might be from the same person who had done several such bench refurbishments previously and sold them on the forum.
