@Oksana, the criterias are undisclosed to avoid having members use tricks to enhances their chances of getting a page on a spotlight campaign.
If you look at the numbers in a spotlight campaign, you'll see that "Owner reward: 20% x1P" means owner gets 20% of the total number of credits there is at the end of the campaign. So, it total is 1,000, owner gete 20%. The other rewards are for the members who bought a ticket ( 1 ticket is worth 20 credits ). The grand winner gets 35%, so in the example
A random review page, article, or brand page is chosen (seemingly based on recent credit based ad campaigns but don't quote me). There is no way to manipulate the random selection.
When content is randomly selected the owner of the content gets credits. Others have the chance to win credits (and also increase the amount of credits the owner of the content gets). To win credits they buy tickets. If they are a winner in the end, they get credits.
I'll give out a few of my tips.
1. I write an article an post it on GoArticles first. Why? There is NO Delay in getting a published URL.
2. I post to Ezine Articles.
3. I post to FB, Twitter, My Blog, My Google Blog, and then to APSense.
4. I use the same keywords for ALL postings.
5. I try and post an article a day. In all honesty, that is tough, and you need to write ahead.
This is not everything I do but, it is for the most part. I make sure I respond to every email and comment.
@Joe "I find that if you start with your own hosted wordpress blog and then lead it to your Revpage..." Mmm....Cross linking? Great idea! Thanks for sharing it Joe.
So, you suppose that being promoted on SC is based on the content quality? Ok 1+ for "Chosen randomly" and 1 + for "Based on content quality"
And how are chosen credit winners? Do you agree that randomly?
Wow, I'm impressed and now that I look at your articles there goes promoting that stuff, thanks. Have you tried backlinking your articles? Interlinking? I need to talk to you one on one. I have some ideas that might work.
I find that if you start with your own hosted wordpress blog and then lead it to your Revpage, which features your articles, videos, page tours, etc, that the content tends to stay up longer on Google for the chosen keyword phrase. It must be at every hop, so in the title of the blog post, the content of course, the link to the Revpage and then in the title of the Revpage, the content etc...
If you write good content on Apsense you will find it showcased in the spotlight campaign. :-) Sometim
@Harry, sure. I do also target my articles on Apsense insiders and search engines both. But unfortunately my content doesn't stay on high SERP for long. The fact is that Google consider Apsense as trusted source but never keep single page in the high positions longer than one, two days. I suppose that one of the reasons is that here published too may articles with pretty similar tags.
It would be great if spotlight campaign would be based on the quality and originality of content rather than ju

This is a very simple thing actually.
A random review page, article, or brand page is chosen (seemingly based on recent credit based ad campaigns but don't quote me). There is no way to manipulate the random selection.
When content is randomly selected the owner of the content gets credits. Others have the chance to win credits (and also increase the amount of credits the owner of the content gets). To win credits they buy tickets. If they are a winner in the end, they get credits.
