hmm, i've been linking the first one but maybe both is a good plan?

I put the first one in my post. I'm not so good at these marketing things. I think if you visit peakd or hive.blog and you aren't logged in there is a signup link displayed somewhere obvious.

Fair enough.

I think Linking to popular links is good for SEO and so thought if there were lots of us linking to the sign-up page, it or our posts would fare better in the rankings. Who knows?!

That's a great idea.
Maybe even linking a few of the popular dapps and front ends would be good, too. It's not just blogging. I wanted to keep it simple and I know constant edits are bad, so I'll refrain.
Perhaps, someone could design a template or table to use as a footnote that includes a bunch of links that will really improve SEO. I'm definitely going to pay close attention to the winners.
I'd eventually like to see a curation or reward program that throws a huge weight behind a factor of SEO and engagement on other social media.

That would be pretty sweet. Those key links appearing on a lot of posts should certainly help.

Yep! I don't think it will be too much longer :)

Oh, the animation doesn't seem to work for me on the peakd 'preview', it's just a white box? hmm, and it's a white box on Twitter too, bummer!

Yeah the anination was my first photo and I moved it, adding the meme. Now I still have a white box. It's also hard to read the writing on the animation. In anycase, I've edited this post 2x now. I hear that is bad with SEO. Hopefully the bots that are judging won't realize the picture doesn't display on peakd or hive.blog or twitter. =p It's formatted correctly, so I blame it on the front ends. If I rank I'll fix it up after.

Yeah hopefully the changes wont cause an issue.

I'll probably do another post later in the week with all the entries and some details on what could happen if I (sadly!) can't find anyone in the search.

Will probably extend the time frame and see if that helps, not decided just yet.
