Leofinance Ad Revenue Should Be Incentive To Anyone Holding LEO
By now this is old but very important news. Leofinance put out a post announcing the new ad revenue strategy as a means of enhancing the ROI on LEO that is staked.
For those who missed the announcement, here it is:
This is a real game changer for the entire platform. Obviously, getting a better return on investment is important. However, this is even more crucial in terms of the "ownership" mentality.
Here is where we need to shift our thinking. Each of us now has a responsibility that is a bit different as compared to before. For example, we had the idea of "them" pertaining to Khal and the team. Now, it is us.
We are the ones who need to take charge and do what we can to improve the ad revenue.
Optimizing Articles
There is a great deal of discussion bounding around about optimizing articles. Many are pointing to some tactics of SEO optimization and what can be done to improve the ranking of Leofinance.io. This is something that, again, falls to all of us.
That said, @hitmeasap put forth a very interesting question earlier:
Here is where the tendency to blow this off enters. After all, what does this have to do with me is a most common thought process.
It is where the idea of ownership comes in.
One of the major differences between Web 2.0 and what is now being called Web 3.0 is the ability to have stake in the platform. Leofinance is doing just this. In fact, consider the advertising revenue that a Facebook brings in. That is a lot of money.
Therefore, if going back and optimizing some older content by simply updating some things is what it takes, then that is what anyone with stake should be doing.
We had someone who already took the lead on this. @finguru started tracking some of this and put together an article detailing his success along with some ideas of what we all need to do.
As we can see, it is possible to bring in thousands of views per month in this manner. Now imagine if we have hundreds of people able to duplicate this.
Huge ROI Added To LEO Staking
Here is a screenshot from the Leofinance post linked of updates that are being made to the UI. Notice how it details the APY, including from holding Leo Power.
The amount that comes in varies obviously. Here is what we were told about the ad revenue:
Ad revenue varies greatly month-to-month, but it almost always surpasses this $4,000 figure.
Thus the thinking is that having a 4%-10% return should be possible. Here is some basic math detailing how we can achieve the lower end.
To this I have one question:
Can we 10x this?
What if we were able to take the ad revenue that is presently coming in, $4,000 a month, and increase it by a multiple of 10? Is that something that could be done?
What would these numbers look like with ad revenue of $40K per month?
Obviously we would be looking at a ROI of between 40% and 100%. As outrageous as that sounds, that is the effect if we have $40K worth of advertising coming through Leofinance and the associated applications. In the online world, that is still not a big number.
So going back to the question @hitmeasap asked, would you do that if you were seeing a 40%-100% annual return on the LEO you were staking?
It seems the answer should be obvious.
The Incentive Is There
We can now see how there should be incentive for everyone to take action in this area. If we get 100 or so people doing it, things could look a lot different around here.
Keep in mind the ad revenue comes in the form of Bitcoin. That is then used to buy LEO on the open market. Hence, the more ad revenue entering, the greater the buying pressure. As anyone can guess, this means the price of LEO could start moving upward.
This is especially true if we see the ad revenue jump to $10,000-$20,000 per month.
To get there, it is going to take the contributions of dozens of people to start. We need to increase the traffic on Leofinance by orders of magnitude.
It is here where we can see things changing a great deal. Yet to get there, it is going to take effort on the part of us all.
Increasing the ad revenue should be incentive to anyone holding LEO.

Making some changes to older content and/or repurposing content that has already been ranked to strengthen the rankings of the original content would truly boost the incoming traffic.. Or, in other words, it would basically make the current Ad Revenue look like pocket money in comparison.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That is the point I was trying to drive home although you summed it up nicely.
What would you suggest doing to some of the older content?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The fun part about this thing is that none of the highest paid content creators are pulling in any substantial traffic (at this point) to Hive and Leoverse, but they are more often than not having tremendous success in terms of engagement.
I would want to see more people optimize their content, but I think people are overthinking things whenever they hear the word "optimization". The smallest change can make a huge difference over time.
forexbrokr wrote a great comment on my latest post about this, but in a nutshell: Whenever you write a post about a certain topic you have written about before, link back to the first one you made.

Very good. I will start working on some of the older content and doing the things to add it with other content I posted.

Your "The Metaverse Hype" post has brought 20 page views from Google in the past 30 days. You have included links to your other "metaverse posts" in that one, which helps in terms of rankings (and ultimately traffic) for the posts you linked to.
Whenever you post something about "the metaverse", you should include a link to your "original" metaverse post. 1 link under relevant anchor text is probably the easiest thing you can do, which is proven to have a positive effect over time.
This tells Google that the old one is the authority on the topic and that they should keep it ranked high.
You could do a few things with that post in terms of optimization as well, like using h1, h2 and h3 tags, changing the names of images/screenshots to include keywords etc. I haven't really looked into it, but in a nutshell. It goes for most content in general.
That being said, including keywords in the names of images/screenshots amongst other things is "rumoured" to have little to none impact on rankings, but it takes a few seconds so it definitely doesn't harm doing it.

This is obviously a great article to link back to. I think we used it before to drive traffic.

Very inspiring. I have very little Leo in my holdings. This obviously means that I am going to start focussing on that token more. All of us, even the little guy here are looking at maximizing incomes through holding and token management.
Great article!
We all started with little holdings and grew from there. Here is a situation where the mindset is crucial. If you can focus upon the idea of ownership since you are going to get a portion of the ad revenue, then doing those things to enhance it could really pay off.

Honestly, there's no way I would have thought of this. Thank you for the tip, I'll get right to it. Great post!
I cant take credit for it. There are people who are very knowledgeable about this stuff around here who are helping us along.
We are all doing what we can to get Leofinance.io to rank better.
Hopefully that will drive a lot more traffic our way.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I really appreciate this which is definitely a future benefits to all who stakes the leo token
These are definitely great news. If we all do our part to try and bring in more traffic, things can really get to the next level
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It is a great opportunity but we must also work harder regarding advertising guidelines and we will obtain better profits with #Leofinance the future that awaits us is bright we just have to work
Oh wow! Welcome to the new age. Things are changing. I am getting a glimpse as to how much momentum this could gain!! Exciting!! Wowa! Go Leo!!! Wooo :)
Things are expanding quickly. We are seeing things moving in a new era, you are correct.
A lot of good stuff that can really provide a superior return if we do it properly.

I definitely agree on doing our own share on this. We are all in this together so to speak and every little work one puts in will add up to the growth of the whole community.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
We all have a role to play. The question is how many will step up.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Ah, that's true though. Every bit of sharing can help.

We should always try to bring in more traffic and I think I try to just focus on what I can do. I disable my brave shield so I can see the ads on LeoFinance and I know it probably doesn't contribute that much.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That is a vital first step in the bringing in ad revenue.
Clicking on an ad occasionally also helps.

After I've poured 10,000 LEO into PolyCUB farms, now I am back to staking. And with this pleasant surprise from Leo Finance team to give back more to the community, the incentive is here and it is up to us to tap into it and contribute more. It's like holding a share from the Leo Finance stocks and getting dividends ;))

A lot of options with LEO. What kind of ROI can we get from the ad revenue? Depends upon what we can generate obviously but imagine us pulling in around $1 million in ads in a year. That would be a 20x from here. Yet that is still not much in the online world.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Now we only need to figure out how to reward everyone proportionally and we have a winner.
I love the idea of distributing ad revenue to LEO holders but I would also like to see those that are more deserving to get their fair share of these same rewards.
For example, my article that got 20 views from Google and the one written by @finguru that got 9k views should not be treated the same. He should be getting a lot more of those rewards than me imo.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Haha, I agree with you man. Give me all those rewards. 😂
On a serious note "LEO Ads Revenue sharing with hodlers" does help me directly and I am okay to share the benefits with fellow Lions. Also, I will find ways to get compensated for my efforts. But not everyone who is bringing views from outside is a hodler. It would be great to take care of them as well since they are adding immense value to the ecosystem.
It's a great thought though. I am sure we will find a way. Page Views can be gamed so easily, there has to be a proper mechanism to track only the real ones.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Based on stake. That is considered "ownership".
And you pose is not possible especially since it might not be him that actually brings in the traffic. If I write an article but someone posts it on Facebook and it goes viral, it will show up as "me" bringing in the traffic when I had nothing to do with it.
In fact, the article by @finguru should be taken and posted out there by us. Help it along since it is ranking and pulling in traffic.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's true. Also, it is not just about the views but the Dwell Time. An article has to be intriguing enough that it compels the reader to stay. We can also run ads to bring in traffic but it's of no use if they are going to just click and go away. Need to target the right audience. If they stay there for long, it's a win.
Haha. Do you know that you guys can earn #POSH tokens by doing that? Please do. :')

These are some very valid points. I didn't think enough in that direction.
Still don't fully agree with all of them but it does make sense.

Thanks a ton for the mention Task. It's amazing to see these talks happening all over again. Last year we tried several things regarding SEO. We now have the proof that it works.
Leo Ad revenue sharing with holders is a huge incentive. The power is in our hands now. It's upto to us to 10x it or leave all that money on the table. No other publishing house in the world has so many people writing for them. Don't forget "Finance and Crypto" are two hot niches in the market. Everyone wants to make money, invest in life changing crypto projects and fix their finances. We can leverage this opportunity to dominate search engines.

Yes I can see how finance and crypto would be two great areas to get ranking in.
It is a process and we do cycle through these things.
Keep putting out the content and doing what we can to make it more appealing to Google.

Very well, I see that the responsibilty of us- the users in optimizing our activities here to drive more people and resources to leofinance will definitely come back to us in folds. @taskmaster4450le
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Definitely an incentive to start thinking differently. I am still staking Leo as the first target is now in reach obtaining 10K Leo. Almost 18 months of fun and posting so definitely worth the time and effort involved as you learn so many other things along the way.
