Will HUBDUB add a leaderboard for question writers who's questions attract the most $$ in 2008?

Settled as No

No such feature introduced.

Background:

Wouldn't it be nice to see who's questions attract the most $$?

A simple formula (total number of questions divided by the total amount of $$ generated by all questions) would give question authors an average for how much $$ their questions attract.

Do you think HUBDUB will implement this feature in 2008?


Settlement details: As evidenced by HUBDUB's website.

Hmmm, methinks this question might favour HubDub Admins!

If you see an Admin laying heavily on 'yes', expect the button to appear soon!

Hehe! ;-P

Bah! I got confused with another thread/question. Scratch 'button' in my last comment, replace with 'leaderboard'.

Sadly, we don't get to bet on these 'Hubdub' questions, since we might have some power to influence the outcome -- not that the developers listen to us much anyway :)

Of course one of the reasons most of the admin's questions tend to do well is that we have a LOT of friends. Anyone hoping for more traffic on their questions, I would strongly suggest:
1) Write good questions: unbiased, interesting to many, settle in less than 2 weeks, have clear settlement sources
2) Make comments on questions that you're interested in so users start to get to know you
3) Make lots of friends (See: http://www.hubdub.com/users/kruijs/friends )
