Daily Prizes for Driving Traffic to Hive

Eyes on Hive is an initiative to encourage the driving of web traffic to Hive platforms. Skip down to the rules section below if you wish to participate. Read the introduction post for the rationale behind the contest.

A reminder that yesterday's contest is still ongoing and ends at 00:00 UTC tonight. There is still time to enter and win.


Contest Overview

Every day there are two main prizes

1. Author Views Prize

This prize is granted to the author of the post which gets the most views in a day. Currently it is limited to views on peakd.com.

Today's prize is 10 HBD @golem.overlord has won it twice in a row, for the same post!

Congrats to @golem.overlord!

2. Sharer Prize

To compete for the sharer prize, you must follow the rules below. Just like the author prize, it is 10 HBD per day.

Tentatively, there are two potential winners of the sharer prize. I request that @itwithsm and @philnews.xyz share with me the analytics of their shares, in order to determine who drove the most traffic.

Eg. On Reddit

Or on Twitter

It is highly recommended that you register your account with HivePosh if you wish to participate in the sharer contest. Aside from Twitter and Reddit being good places to share and drive traffic from, it will make it easier to prove that traffic was driven by you specifically. That said, any authentic source of views is valid, so don't be discouraged from sharing on Facebook, Whatsapp or elsewhere if it works for you.

Sharer Prize Rules

  1. The post doesn't have to be yours, but it does have to be current (within the last 72 hours).
  2. You must register the posts you are attempting to push by replying to this post with a comment, linking the post you are entering*. You must do this before promoting the post, that way I can be sure you are not hi-jacking someone else's attempt to promote a post. Make sure you link to a front end like peakd.com that tracks views.
  3. The winning post will be determined based on the post gaining the most in views between the time of registration and the end of the contest, as well as evidence of traffic provided (see below). Each contest will end at midnight UTC of the following day.
  4. The traffic must be authentic - you must not pay for traffic or use bots or any similar service to generate inauthentic traffic.
  5. Provide evidence such as links to your sharing on other social media sites to prove that you were the one who drove the traffic to the post. Evidence of the authenticity of the traffic will be required. As mentioned before, joining HivePosh will help with this part.
  6. You can make as many attempts as you like, within reason, as long as you register the posts you are promoting.
  7. I reserve the right to deny the bounty if the above rules are not followed in letter and in spirit.

Registering a Post and Understanding Where to see Views

Registering to participate means choosing a peakd.com link that nobody else has already registered, and making a reply to the contest post. I will attempt to screenshot the peakd header of the post as close as possible to the time you register your post. If you create a screenshot yourself, that can help.

You can find the page for peakd most viewed posts here.

This project relies on donations for its funding. It is an experiment in incentivizing the pursuit of views for Hive. If you believe that is worth supporting, please donate to @eyesonhive or upvote this post and share it with others.


Today's Sharer Contest Begins Now and Ends Saturday 21st May at Midnight UTC.

Sort:  

This contest is so hard, as at yesterday I kept on monitoring the post I registered it was moving up the most viewed ladder, Lol I woke up this morning and it was lost in the crowd😂😂😭😭😭😭

All my effort down the drain @eyesonhive 😢

You need to increase your efforts @ibbtammy :-)

Lol I just have to try I guess😂😂

Try harder and harder :D

Try and try, the most important thing is we could bring possible non-Hivers on board. Thank you for your participation.

Yeah, a few persons on my contact list are already asking about Hive as a result of the post I shared, so that's a plus for me😃

Good thing to know that, it's already an indication that they are interested.

Yep

Lol I wish I had more followers on Twitter, sadly I have just 45 followers😂😂😂 how am I supposed to drive mad traffic with that number?

Lol I’m literally laughing at myself here 😂😂

We will try once again hahaha what's your Twitter handle @ibbtammy

Depending on the post, Reddit may be better than Twitter for driving traffic. You don't have to have many followers on Reddit, but you do have to be aware of rules/culture, and find a great fit of post and subreddit.

Also don't forget there's loads of other platforms, such as Whatsapp, Telegram, Facebook.

Ohhh maybe I have to check out Reddit, I’ve been hearing so much about it.

Hi @ibbtammy, the one that you entered is not yet finished, it ends tonight at midnight. The contest that finished now is the one started 2 days ago, which you did not enter.

Ohhh really?

I had no idea

I start the contests more than 24 hours in advance. This makes sure that everyone around the world has a reasonably fair chance of entering and winning (otherwise some timezones would have a substantial advantage).

Ohhh makes a lot of sense

Congratulations @eyesonhive! You have completed the following achievement on the Hive blockchain And have been rewarded with New badge(s)

Thank you for the mention @eyesonhive. This is the only traffic I got. I will try again next time. Thanks a lot.

Traffic to Hive.jpg

This is how i drove the traffic.

Does it show anything for link clicks?

Oh, it got hidden due to the Twitter message ( Promote your tweet )

Let me try my luck once again by joining this contest with a different post. This is really interesting. The most important part is the participation and I am here again willing to participate.

BTW Here's my latest blog post on Hive: https://peakd.com/@philnews.xyz/books-are-the-reasons-why-i-survived

Good luck!

Thanks a lot for the opportunity.

@philnews.xyz, @itwithsm I have to make a judgment here. It appears that you both drove just as many link clicks. @philnews.xyz got more impressions but the post that @itwithsm gained far more views overall.

I think in this case I will judge based on overall views, as that is what was defined as the most important criteria in the rules. In the future it may be more unclear, as the primary goal of this contest is to drive traffic, not just predict which post will gain the most views.

Congrays to @itwithsm

I agree @demotruk, a mere mention of my Hive name is already an achievement. Thanks a lot and congrats to @itwithsm

Thanks, @philnews.xyz and best of luck brother.

Best of luck bro.
