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 Hive account@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:

1. Quality of Info (Explanation of the concepts & Correctness of info provided)
2. Blog Structure (Formatting, Title, Headings, Images & Thumbnail, Sourcing)
3. Language & Grammar (Easy to understand, Correct usage of grammar)
4. Keywords & Backlinks (Right keywords and inclusion of high-quality backlinks)
5. Contest Rules (Mentioned here)
