Top Neighbors: The magic behind the mirrors
You will never have to pay to be listed as a top neighbor. Period. That important detail clarified, let's discuss how we arrive at two "top neighbors" for a given region:
Localism is a bustling collection of hyper-local communities, and the top neighbors should reflect those members who are most active. When ranking users in a given region, several factors are considered. To get your foot in the proverbial door, you need to have posted at least one "Localism" article or photo for the region.
The very best way to quickly rise to #1 is to post high-quality local content. Keeping a steady strem of incoming posts and photos will massively tilt the scales in your favor.
What doesn't count toward the top neighbor ranking? ActiveRain points and community sponsorships. The top neighbor spots will always go to the most active members in a region. We want to create a level playing field that encourages the growth of communities — talent and dedication are required to win the day.
With all the holidays around the corner and all these advertisements about families around the dining table having a huge dinner at their East coast style home, with the snow piled up on their driveway, you can't help but think about all the people that DON'T have a home. They don't have money to make a wonderful dinner or maybe even a chance to host at their home. Some of them have lost their homes to foreclosure, others are having the hardest, most stressful time of their lives facing foreclosure and considering their best options. Others haven't had a home for a while and maybe don't even remember what a warm, cozy thanksgiving is like, since they spend their days out in the streets.
