Back on July 9th, we wrote a post that talked about how the traffic on ActiveRain was up over 65% during the previous couple of weeks. As part of that post, we offered 500 points for all posts written between July 9th and July 13th (awarded for all posts in that time frame that didn't go over the 20 post per week limit).
In the last week, we have had a ton of folks contact us wondering when they are going to see their points. The good news is they were already awarded. The bad news is, we didn't send anything special out to let you know.
Normally, when we have some kind of contest, the points are awarded by a manual entry, and as such, you receive an email letting you know that you got the points. However, for this particular challenge, because the volume of posts written was so large, we did things a little bit different. Instead of a manual entry for those extra points, the points were actually added to the blog post entry in your 'points' area directly.
So, where you would normally have gotten 225 points (plus any additional points for likes, comments, shares, bookmarks, etc.), you instead received 500 points (plus any additional points for likes, comments, shares, bookmarks, etc.)
So, if you are wondering, where the heck are my points for all those blog posts I cranked out between the 9th and 13th of July, head back and check out your point summary (which you can always find in the little gray bar at the top of every page when you are logged in). Since this was a few weeks ago, you might have to dive back kind of deep to find them, but you'll see them there.....in all their glory.
