The boosts I received made very little difference. My highest performing articles have not been boosted, and my most read article of all time is an obscenely long 33 minute read about the history of James Bond films (here, if you're interested). Once again, the Dillon Empire flagrantly defies all conventional wisdom when it comes to oft-heard advice about writing here (eg, write four minute reads, for instance). Conclusion? Ignore trends, ignore "experts", write what you damn well please, and hope that it makes a few pennies.
