Articles Limitation

Yes, I think it would be good.. in this case, the number of quality articles will indeed be increased. Actually, in my view it is difficult even for a ful-time writer to produce more that 3-4 good articles per day.

Hence, this would be a good move. Or, in the least,maybe the article limit can be increased to 4 and not more..

Imposing articles restriction is not going to increase the quality at all. The findings that Maverick has shown here is based on a limited period. But in long term it is not going to help because of following reasons..

1) If I want I can also post all the three articles as copied in a day. so this will not serve the purpose.

2) By imposing this restriction, boddunan is going to loose in long term. because there are lots of authors who write 7-8 articles in a duration of some days, and they post all those in a single day. but this restriction will discourage them.

3) Some other sites like indiastudychannel.com or hubpages.com they have not imposed any such restriction. Then why boddunan should do this?

Instead of restricting article submission, we can do one thing to get quality contents. Here is the solution to this problem.

"If someone is posting more than 3 copied articles in a single day, then ban him/her for next 2 days from posting. This will definitely discourage the authors from posting copied contents..."

I invite others suggestions in this regard...

Thank you

Hello Maverick.
I absolutely agree with the second point mentioned by JS.

For many users, who take a week to write 4/5 articles, with this restriction, they would be able to submit only 3 on a particular day and they might have to wait to submit another 2.

That would be very disappointing as others would submit 3 articles per day, hence 21 articles per week but, he is able to submit only 3 articles in a week.

I do not mind limiting articles, but restriction should NOT be in terms of days, but may be weekly or monthly restrictions.

Also, i am not 100 % sure if the reason for increase in good quality of articles was due to limitation of number, like in polls.

The polls do not weigh much in term of cash. So restricting 5 polls per day was alright. But, since most of the cash is obtained from articles, in spite of restriction, they will submit articles that might not be of excellent quality as they would still get paid for it.
I do not guarantee with the quality, as a lot of new members are yet to write articles.

Hello Maverick,

You have taken a good action by limiting the number of posting to 3max per day.
I too think that it is fine for the time being for attracting more contents to Boddunan site.
In addition some strict measures have to be taken for discouraging copied contents and meaningless contents written in SMS language

However it would be better to limit it to 1 per day once we get traffic of 100 visitors at a time.

hello Marvick I m completely agree with Js and not agree with u.

If you wanna restrict then restrict 5 articles per day. I think its sufficient. There is nobody who submit more than 5 articles per a day.

what is this ? Today is holiday and my exams are coming so i m trying to post as more as article for completeing my this month min. payment. Bu when i click on the submit article it showing try again tommorow. This is wrong . i m not agree with Marvick of submitting artilces restriction.

I am very Disappointed.

What is this. I am not agree with you Harish Jharia. If you don't have the capability and time for writing more than one article in a day then it doesn't mean no body have.

Hello Lohit,

There is no question of capability here as Harish is a proven author with many good articles. Please do not write such comments on public forums as it will create un-necessary mess.

And regarding your minimum payment, even if you can submit 3 articles a day and which get a min of Rs. 20, you will easily get more than Rs.2000. I don't think min pay is issue here.

Hello Lohit seth,

That is quite exciting and is a matter of pride for all of us that we have so very efficient and hardworking members like you who can post half a dozen and even more than a dozen articles a day.

Keep it up...

Hello Lohit seth,

Some times back I counted about 10+ articles with 4 - 5 illustrations, posted by a single member in a single day.

Yes, you are right I cannot write more than an article in a day. I even sometimes take 3 - 4 days to finalize an article.

Keep it up...

I'm a little disappointed with this 3-article-per-day restriction, 'cause there are members like me who pile up articles, like say 15 or 20 in a week and submit in one day in an internet cafe, as we don't have internet connections at home. I mean going to an internet cafe everyday is not possible, so it would be better if you make it 5-articles-per-day.

Thank you,

Normaly for an article we get 20 rs or near about 30 rs. not more than this. Hardly in one month we get 60 rs for an article because its not easy to write a long article daily. So according to this response by you we can't earn more than 2000 or 2200 in a month by articles.
If we want to earn by our articles more then its mean now we got restricted. We can't.

If you can write 10 small articles which can earn Rs.20/article, why can't you write 3 big articles which can earn 40+?

No author can post articles every day. Every one needs some relaxation and is applicable to every one. So if you can write more articles in one day, save them and post them on a day on which you couldn't write.

We have seen no author posting more than 3-5 articles every day and 3 articles is the result of that analysis(of 6 months).

i think article limit should be 5.

Mr Maverick,
you should have limited the articles based on the words.Because some can write a thesis on a topic while some can write only few words. So if you have limited according to the words, both who can write only one long article per day and who writes five/six short articles per day will b benefited.

Ya i agree with JS .. limitation only not going to improve quality.. some penalty may help to improve quality like what js said previously..

Nothing so wrong in applying limitation..

1 article is a tight restriction..But 3 per day is acceptable..
