6 Tips to Get to the Top of the Steem Atlas Leaderboard
The Meet Up Steem Atlas activity held on Sunday, April 20, 2025, holds many memorable memories. As one of the Steem Atlas Ambassadors, I had the opportunity to be the keynote speaker at the event. One of the interesting questions asked by the participants is still clearly remembered in my mind:
"Why are you always at the top of the Steem Atlas leaderboard list? Are there any secret tips and tricks❓"
The Steem Atlas leaderboard list is indeed a hot topic of discussion, especially since every week there is a prize of 550 Steem distributed to the top 10 people. The total prizes that can be won in April and May amount to 3300 STEEM.
In his posts, @pennsif always emphasizes that the leaderboard is not only calculated based on the number of posts. There is a complex algorithm that considers various factors to determine the ranking automatically and dynamically. (Being a Steem Ambassador is NOT one of the factors.)
On this occasion, I would like to share some useful tips to achieve a position on the Steem Atlas leaderboard based on my experience.
1️⃣ Quality of Information
The main key to achieving a position on the leaderboard is to present quality information. Make sure the content you create is informative and useful. You can also read our 21 Tips to Make Better Posts for Steem Atlas.
2️⃣ Consistency
Consistency is important. Try to post about the latest places you visited regularly on the Steem Atlas map. The more you post, the better your chances of gaining positions on the leaderboard. However, remember that the quality of the information remains the top priority.
3️⃣ Support the Growth of the Steem Atlas Project
Supporting the growth of the Steem Atlas project is also very important. You can add beneficiaries to the @steem-atlas account.
Since the beginning, I have always been consistent in supporting this project by setting larger beneficiary rewards. Ideally, you can set the beneficiary between 10% to 25%, but I always try to give the maximum amount.
4️⃣ Presentation
Presentation of information is equally important. The better the way you present the information and photos, the more it helps other users who want to visit the place. Make sure to present the content in an interesting and informative way.
5️⃣ Avoid Grammar, Spelling, and Punctuation Errors
Another thing to consider is grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Participants are expected to be careful in this regard, as small mistakes can affect the reader's understanding. Translation engines such as Google often err in translating text written with incorrect spelling.
6️⃣ Specific Information
Finally, it is important to always add specific information about the places you have visited. I suggest that you include the following information:
- 📆 Date and time of visit
- 🕑 Days and hours of operation
- 🚩 Full address and Google Maps link
- 💁♂️ Website address or social media links (if applicable)
By following the tips above, you will have a better chance of achieving a position in the Steem Atlas leaderboard. Happy contributing and good luck!
Excellent set of tips.
I hope many people will read this to help improve their Steem Atlas posts and move up the Leaderboard.
