A: While changes in social media follower count and engagement rate can influence the ranking, they are just one aspect of the algorithm. Other factors like news buzz, fan following, and the celebrity's current presence on TV and web series also contribute to the overall ranking.
Q: How are view points calculated in the ranking?
A: View points are calculated by counting the views on all pages related to a celebrity, such as Overview, About, Discussion and other pages, including individual media objects like Videos, Gallery Images, and Event Images where the celebrity is tagged.
Q: Are comments and fans directly related to view points?
A: While view points are not directly related to comments and fans, it's natural that celebrities with more fans would have higher views and comments.
Q: How do you tackle the Multiple ID (MID) problem?
A: We have implemented several measures to prevent gaming the system, such as not counting new members who join a fan club in their first week and only counting active members who have logged onto the site that week. We also count only the views with unique IPs in an hour to prevent view inflation through constant refreshing.
Q: Are non-member views counted as view points?
A: Yes, non-member views are counted as view points.
Q: Do forum posts unrelated to the actor count as fan activity?
A: No, forum posts, views, and replies are counted in Chaska Meter and not in Celebrity Ranking at this moment.
Q: Why are comments deleted from the celebrity profile?
A: Topics may be deleted from a celebrity's profile if they are found to be spammy, duplicate, or of low quality. We also remove comments posted by MIDs that have escaped our spam filters.
Q: How are Buzz Points calculated?
A: Buzz Points are calculated based on the News articles Views and Comments together about the celebrity. For maximum Buzz Points, an article has to get both Views and Comments. Articles with less views and comments get fewer Points compared to an article with more views and comments.
Q: Are comments on buzz articles counted towards view points or comments?
A: No, comments on articles are not counted in Comment Points or Views Points, as they are already considered while computing the Buzz Points.
Q: Do comments in video and pics count towards view points or comments?
A: Yes, comments in video and pics do count towards Comments. When commenting, users also visit the video or pic, which adds to the views.
Q: Are comments on past articles counted?
A: No, comments on past articles are not counted.
Q: Do views on different pages under comments, fan clubs, photos, and news count towards view points?
A: Yes, views on different pages are counted towards view points. However, there are internal checks to ensure natural browsing behavior and not the use of "Bots" or multiple pages being opened simultaneously to inflate the views.
Q: Do multiple views on an article, pic, or a page in celebrity profile within an hour count as separate view points?
A: Each Article, Pic, or Celeb Page will get +1 View. However, views for articles are used in computing Buzz points and are not added again in View Points.
Q: Are view and comment points divided among all celebrities and shows tagged?
A: Yes, for Celebrity Ranking, the points are divided among all the tagged celebrities, and for Chaska Meter, they are divided between all the tagged shows.
Q: How long are comments counted for in the ranking?
A: Comments are counted for the entire week.
Q: Are videos counted in buzz?
A: No, videos are not counted in buzz. However, they are counted in Views and Comments.
Q: Are views and comments on old pictures of a celebrity counted in Views and Comments?
A: Yes, views and comments on old pictures of a celebrity are counted in Views and Comments.
