HivePulse SEO Contest: Week 8 Results + Week 9 Open (Up To 500 HIVE)

Week 8 results

Nine entries were submitted and all nine qualified with SEO at or above 70. The under-10 entrant tier therefore paid a 300 HIVE podium pool. One valid referral pair earned 25 HIVE each, and @nabbas0786 won the 50 HIVE X engagement prize. 400 HIVE is going out.

Four entries tied at 200/200. The published tiebreak rule settled the podium by word count: 2,143, then 1,491, then 657. @mayt finished fourth with 627 words. No judgement call was needed.

The scores below are re-derived from each post's on-chain content with the same HivePulse scoring engine used by the extension. The screenshot is evidence of entry, not the score we award.

Referral bonus

• @mayt brought @vvodjiu. Both receive 25 HIVE.

@wardah also wrote “referred by @nabbas0786”, but @wardah had already entered earlier rounds, so that referral was not eligible under the new-entrant rule. No bonus is paid for it.

X engagement prize

All three submissions quote-retweeted the announcement tweet. @nabbas0786 wins 50 HIVE with 13 engagements: 7 likes, 3 reposts, and 3 replies. @les90 had 7, and @ekads had 2.

Week 9 is open - up to 500 HIVE

The prize ladder remains tied to the number of valid entrants:

Valid entrants	Prize pool	Places paid
Under 10	300 HIVE	150 · 100 · 50
10-19	400 HIVE	200 · 100 · 60 · 40
20+	500 HIVE	250 · 120 · 80 · 50

Week 9 runs from 22 September to 29 September 2026, 12:00 UTC.

1. Install HivePulse for Chrome or Firefox.
2. Write and publish a new post on any supported Hive frontend with the analyzer open.
3. Comment below with the post link and a screenshot of the SEO and GEO panel.
4. Tag the post #hivepulse.
5. Submit one entry per person. If you publish several, your best tagged post counts.
6. If someone referred you, write exactly referred by @username in your entry comment. When the entry qualifies, both people receive 25 HIVE.

The minimum qualifying score is SEO 70. Any language is welcome. Every entry is re-scored on-chain after the round closes.

The 50 HIVE X prize

Quote-retweet the Week 9 announcement tweet with your own words about your HivePulse experience. The quote-retweet with the most likes, reposts, and replies combined at the close wins 50 HIVE. It must quote the announcement itself, not a reply or your own post. No engagement farming.

Good angles include your score and screenshot, the thing that surprised you, one sentence before and after using the analyzer, or what you would tell a Hive writer who has never tried it.
