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.

I had some time before a meeting yesterday so I decided to drive around Lake Waramaug to take new photos. It was a beautiful day, and I was not disappointed. I am in the process of putting the photos together to share them, but this one was just to great to pass up putting out there now.
Just moments before this picture was shot, the pooch was swimming after the ducks. Then just as he reached them he turned around and headed for shore. I wasn't quite sure why he turned around. Because he had reached his goal? Or he realized he was outnumbered? Or perhaps he just lost interest, maybe a sound in the distance had taken his attention. I don't know. Or maybe the ducks were a bigger challenge than he thought.
I did see these ducks just a bit before, I think they were in class. You really have to wonder what that heron was teaching them, don't you?
