PolyCUB SEO contest is over & now it's time to announce the winners. It was an amazing run and great to see some new faces stepping up into the game. I was expecting only 4 quality blogs and honestly, I got more than 10 which is incredible. Whether you have won or not, it's a huge win for PolyCUB because thanks to you guys, its digital footprint has increased a bit. We have got more backlinks for the PRs done on PolyCUB and the ultimate PolyCUB Guide by @mikedcrypto.
Judgement Metrics
All the entries are valid since they followed most of the requirements to enter. I kept it simple and lenient to allow some minor mistakes since most of us are not professionals. If you go on and evaluate every single post strictly, you will find that there's a lot of scopes to improve. All the winning entries might not be perfect in terms of SEO & overall quality but well-done for everyone. We can always go back and make the edits to make our content way better than it is now. While choosing the winners, I considered the following points:
- Quality of Info (Explanation of the concepts & Correctness of info provided)
- Blog Structure (Formatting, Title, Headings, Images & Thumbnail, Sourcing)
- Language & Grammar (Easy to understand, Correct usage of grammar)
- Keywords & Backlinks (Right keywords and inclusion of high-quality backlinks)
- Contest Rules (Mentioned here)

Many congratulations guys! I would request everyone reading this post to go ahead and follow these awesome creators and support their work in the future. Those who didn't win, please take this contest as a learning opportunity and try to figure out how you can do better next time. This is not the last time I am hosting such a contest and there will be many more like this one. So be prepared and keep improving! I would suggest all of you guys go on Youtube or Google and learn some basic SEO Blogging techniques on your own. It would benefit you guys as content creators because you can always level up your game. I will also be announcing my next project @leoseo (go follow) where I will teach everyone on Leo Finance & Hive about SEO and content optimization in general. We will host contests so that you can apply what you learn.
Rewards
We are giving away a total of 445 LEO as rewards for all the valid entries. Please checkout the breakup as follows:
Note to @onealfa: I have already sent these rewards to the winners so that you won't have to send them separately. You can send me 85 LEO (30 LEO for the first winner + 55 LEO - 5 LEO each for 11 valid entries). We can talk on Discord if you find any issues with my calculations.
Thank You Lions 🦁
I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who supported this initiative with their upvotes, reblogs & social shares. Special thanks to our sponsors @onealfa / @onealfa.leo, @starstrings01, @d-company, and @hitmeasap for your contributions. I would request everyone to go follow these amazing guys. It wouldn't have been possible without them. Last but not the least, all the participants. 😘😘 See you in the next one.

Congratulations to all winning entries.
Am happy, at least, I’ve placed my footprint on the SEO sands of time. Can’t wait for another contest to flex my muscles. However, I’ve been applying the seo practices learnt as a result of this contest since then, and it has been nice to add a height to my blogging skills.
I know there's more to be learnt, and I'm keen!
You have done a great job mate. Thanks for your valuable participation. You can always improve your skills. Will give you detailed feedback on your posts or try to cover some points to make your content way better. Just keep publishing mate, I am pretty sure you will start getting views from search engines even with minimal effort to level up each time you post.

Thanks for the kind reassuring words!
You are the next generation of writers on Leo Finance.

It was an amazing event that we practiced SEO friendly posts to get more organic traffic to LeoFinance.
Since the first day of contest, I am working on advanced SEO mechanisms to develop the rank of Leo post in the web.
Thanks everyone who supported the contest with their time and efforts 🙏🏼 Time to focus on SEO as a whole community @leoseo 😎
That's great to know mate. You deserved the win. SEO is not a diet, but a lifestyle. 🦁 Keep leveling up with each blog you publish and it will become a habit.
@leoseo is going to be a community of SEO Writers within the LEO community. Watch out for the announcement post. Most probably by the weekend!

Thanks a ton for the support @behiver. We need to keep pushing the bar a little higher. 🔥

Congratulations to the winners. So a user could actually have two participating entries? I guess you never really said you had to have only one. It works better for LeoFinance and the SEO though so I am not complaining.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Haha. Yes, I did not mention it anywhere. Really thankful to Kevin & Mistural for doubling their efforts. Two extra good-quality posts will increase our chances to get search engine traffic.

It was a pleasure participating in the contest. The contest gave me a reason to take my blog post here seriously.
To always put the extra work in making research and coming up with a worthwhile content.
To pay attention to tittles, keywords and always use back links where needed.
@finguru I received the token for my involvement in the contest. Many thanks!
I'm looking forward to participating and getting refined in the midst of awesome writers in this new @leoseo sub-community!

You have done a damn good job @ozohu. If you want to make a living out of this, then you NEED to take your blogs seriously. Thinking like a professional is the best way to go. See you soon once again!

This hits me by a small surprise.
I my coment what I ment - "each PARTICIPANT", not each entry or each post.
Here is my offer:
Giving a rewards for each try, each entry - would be not even fair, could bring temptations to make multiple low effort (or low value) entries.
I will be sending my LEO's tomorrow, as I already exchanged all my today's liquid LEO's into PolyCUB's.
I will get next supply of liquid LEO's tonight, so by tomorrow morning I will be able to do it
Whoopsie. It was a misunderstanding on my end, so sorry for the inconvenience. You can send me according to your original offer. Not a problem at all @onealfa! Next time, I will make sure to check with all the sponsors before disbursing the rewards.
30 LEO for the #1 place winner and in total we had 8 other qualifying participants (8*5=40). That comes out to be 70 LEOs. Please correct me if I am wrong!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
"EACH" means - each and everyone. Including the #1 winner too.
So I would say 9*5=45 and the winner +30
But since rewards been already distributed - no problem.
I will send you 85
Kindest whale ever. 💖🚀🦁

I really enjoyed participating in this initiative by applying the SEO and Copywriter techniques that I use on a daily basis. I also learned a lot about a topic that I didn't know such as DeFi, Polygon and PolyCub. Thank you very much for allowing me to participate I hope a new contest to participate with an even better entry, I hope my post will contribute positively to the positioning in google of the keyword PolyCub in addition to other main drag. A big hug to all LeoFinance team
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Awesome @susurrodmisterio. Thanks a ton for your participation mate. Contests are a great way to learn and try something new. Just keep at it till the time you become like a professional writer.
Check your post after 3-6 months and see where it stands. SEO is a long-term game so consistently push out content to find success. Just need 1 or two blogs to hit the google rankings.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Stunning, well-done, I guess SEO friendly contents should be incentivized just like you've done here. It makes users who don't think they can write begin to practice. I think the effect of this would be felt. Cheers for hosting.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Absolutely right. The more we incentivize good practices, the more people will be using them. Thanks a ton for your support mate. Cheers!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Congratulations to the winners! You did amazingly well, stepping up to the challenge.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes, most people get scared when they read SEO and don't know what to do.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
True, and I am one of them, lol! Although I am now trying to learn and hope to be able to create a SEO worthy post one day :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Awesome initiative and a great amount of new articles of quality to push out along with new LEO members to follow and help them as they continue to build quality content for the entire LEO ecosystem.
Thanks a ton for the kind & motivating words, @bitcoinflood. Will be launching more of these contests to take this initiative to the next level.
