Things are racing along. We got a major update yesterday that really enhances the platform and brings up one step closer to the ad revenue model going live.
For those who are unaware, Leofinance integrated the LeoAd API into threads. We now have a counter that monitors the number of clicks (pages), resulting in generation of ad revenue.
Before getting into that, we should explore how this changes things.
Here we have a thread from earlier today:
This is right from the horse's mouth (keyboard).
Engagement is the primary goal of LeoThreads. This is what helps to push up the pageview count. That means we all need to focus upon this.
Of course, this applies to long form pages also even though the counter is not added.
Thus, we have this from the Leofinance page on SimpleAnalytics:
Over the last few days we registered 80K pageviews. This dwarfs the previous high which was about 50K, for a full month.
LeoThreads is adding to the activity in a major way.
Here is where the community needs to focus the attention.
Taking Simple Actions To Increase The Pageviews
Over the weekend, a few of us decided to post some quotes. This was done mostly using the container idea so as not to spam the main page. We were able to get the tag trending.
It was something that was actually started before the counters went into place. However, we can see the impact of something simple as this.
Here is one container.
To verify the data, everyone should click through to make sure. Seriously, click through to this page using the following link:
@taskmaster4450le/re-leothreads-kbpuorui
As we can see this was able to generate about 11 cents. At present pricing, this translates into 1.40 LEO that will be purchased from the open market. That is how the ad revenue works.
Here is a threadcast from Thursday's Crypotmaniac/Cryptoholic show.
Once again, it is best to check the link below to verify the numbers are correct. That means you definitely must click it:

On this one, we see 257 clicks which resulted in 5.90 LEO going into the ad revenue pool. The totals keep mounting.
Look For Ways To Increase Clicks
It is best to start the process of thinking about pageviews.
For one, consider dropping some of your threads on other social media platforms. Instead, if posting on Twitter and then sharing the Tweet on threads, do the opposite. Post on threads and place the link on Twitter. If a few people come through, it all adds to the pool.
At the same time, click on the threads others post. Engagement is key because replying to another thread or comment is considered a click. At the same time, by placing that on the site, we give others the opportunity to do the same.
This is how we see things go exponential. Look at that ad revenue from 257 clicks. What happens if we get something to go viral (at least for Hive) and it gets 1,200 or 1,500 clicks? We see the ad revenue jump a great deal.
Of course, we do not require that. Leofinance is now a numbers game. Pageviews are key. This can be from people engaging more or, by the same token, more people engaging. Actually, we want a combination of the two.
The bottom line is that we now have a vision of the path forward. We are still awaiting an article by the Leofinance team regarding the ad revenue situation but we can garner some insight from these numbers.
Your mission is clear. How can you generate some clicks for Leofinance, either for long form or microblogging content?
It all starts with what activity you are doing.
