I think increasing it to 5 posts that get rewarded is a great idea.

Awesome. That sure definitely encourage more people to create posts.

I would love it if we could do this but the one issue with this is that the optimized content has likely already left the voting window. We could upvote one of their newer posts with 100% but I feel like that logistically defeats the purpose which is why I went with the liquid LEO rewards each week because then we don’t have to worry about voting windows.

I can totally understand your point. What I meant was if we would go the route of rewarding content that has "real potential to bring organic traffic" rather than rewarding content for the organic traffic it already brings.

Yes, I agree it could cause some authors to get thousands of LEO. Though that would mean that their content is pulling in massive traffic for the site which likely outweighs the actual LEO they’re receiving (in terms of LeoFinance gaining more value from that traffic than the 100 LEO each week is worth).

Fair point. One issue with this is the fact that one could rather easily manipulate the results by pushing fake- or non-organic traffic to certain pages. It can be done in ways so it's rather difficult to spot at first glance and even though it could harm us in the long haul, like being banned so we can't earn Ad Revenue anymore, it's an "amazing way" for abusers to make sure they win LEO prizes short-term.

The last is obviously worst case scenario, but like the saying goes: greed brings out the worst in us.

That being said, one can obviously spot this type of abuse by looking into certain details, but it's also something one have to spend time doing.
