We're changing how the HivePulse SEO Contest pays, starting with the round that opens today.

Under 5 entrants: nobody is paid and the pool rolls into the next round.

Here's why we're doing that to ourselves. 🧵

[Hdev Core @HdevCore]

So: 600 HIVE, five entrants, one week.

If you write on Hive, this is the cheapest 600 HIVE has ever been to compete for.

Closes 17 Nov, 12:00 UTC. Tag #hivepulse 👇

600 HIVE is on the table this week. The biggest pool this contest has ever had.

It's 600 because last week it was 0.

Four writers entered. We needed five. ����

[Hdev Core @HdevCore]

We didn't quietly drop the rule when it bit us, and we're not pretending it felt good.

Everyone who entered was still scored, upvoted and reblogged — the votes landed hours before their posts paid out, so they were worth real HIVE.

The prize money just waits.

Finally, a big change in weekly contests, we can see some more users now. Thank you @HdevCore 😊

And week 14, where we got it wrong ourselves:

🥇 @itx.wardah 🥈 @ahmedabbaci 🥉 @nursejoe

Our judge rounded 99.5 up to 100, invented a tie, and handed 3rd to the wrong person. We fixed it — then sent @nabbas_0786 the 50 HIVE anyway 👇

Second change: ties now SPLIT the prize.

Two tied for 1st get 125 each. Four tied get 75 each.

For four rounds the podium has been decided by who published first — rewarding rushing, punishing revising, in a contest about revising.

That race is over.

[Hdev Core @HdevCore]

@nabbas_0786 Week 14 is open, and the pool grows with the field.

300 HIVE under 10 entrants. 400 at ten. 500 at twenty.

The hard bar is reachable — two people just proved it.

Closes 3 Nov, 12:00 UTC. Tag #hivepulse.

Week 13 of the HivePulse SEO Contest is settled.

Two writers maxed every GEO check we have — including the harder bands nobody had cleared before.

We said perfect scores should be rare now. They earned them. 🧵

[Hdev Core @HdevCore]

@nabbas_0786 3rd place missed a perfect score by six words.

Concrete detail is a RATIO — named people, places, dates, numbers over total words.

2,234 words. 0.0725. Full marks starts at 0.075.

Six more names and it's 200/200 👇

@nabbas_0786 @DrWardahx Week 13 is open, and the pool grows with the field.

300 HIVE under 10 entrants. 400 at ten. 500 at twenty.

Seven more writers and this round pays 400.

Week 12 of the HivePulse SEO Contest is settled.

Every single entry scored a perfect 100. Nobody dropped a point anywhere.

So the podium came down to 55 minutes. 350 HIVE went out. 🧵

[Hdev Core @HdevCore]

🥇 @ahmedabbaci — 100/100
🥈 @nabbas_0786 — 100/100
🥉 @DrWardahx — 100/100

Reading ease knocked 3rd off the top: 61 vs 60.

The other two tied on that too — so publication time split them. 13:48 vs 14:43.

[Hdev Core @HdevCore]

@nabbas_0786 @DrWardahx Your GEO score will drop next week. The bar moved up — your writing did not get worse.

300 HIVE under 10 entrants. 400 at ten. 500 at twenty.

Closes 20 Oct, 12:00 UTC. Tag #hivepulse.

Week 11 of the HivePulse SEO Contest is settled.

Three entries tied on a perfect score. Then they tied again on the new tiebreak.

Our new rule met its limit in its first week. 350 HIVE is going out. 🧵

[Hdev Core @HdevCore]

@nabbas_0786 @DrWardahx Week 12 changes the GEO score.

57% of every entry we have ever scored held a perfect GEO 100. A number most people max is not measuring anything.

Same checks, higher bar. Perfect falls to about 9%.
