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. From May 22nd, the prize will be reduced to 5 HBD each, in order to give the contest some chance of being sustainable (otherwise it will run out of money quite soon)

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.

The winner of today's prize is @maeugenia for her movie review, winning the prize for the second day in a row.

¡Felicidades @maeugenia!

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.

Today we have a clear leader: @djbravo. I will still require screenshots of the shares, as per the rules.

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 Tuesday 23rd May at Midnight UTC.
