If you see a post looks lengthy and have good information but at end of it, poster leaves a source to a newsletter article, will you send merit to a poster?
Think:
- Fill up weekly post quota
- Try to copy & paste & source to earn merit
- Does a poster write about own opinion and discussion on the newsletter article?
I think about it after I see
that topic and many newsletter article sharing posts were meritted and see another topic
If you received a merit ...I don't know but if something is very useful and well research, or an article that is really hard to find cause it didn't rank in SEO, Ican give one, specially if the OP provided a good insight about the article, or a good question that can start a healthy discussion here in the forum, it deserve one. Cause I wouldn't see that article if he didn't post it here. Forum is also a way for us to discover things that aren't seen in a google search bar. And ranking an article is hard, even thought the article is good, it won't rank right away. So it is really helpful if OP posted it here.
It's just me but I always know if the OP is concerned to educate other users or just here for the merits. It really depends on you if you think it's not helpful or anything. If OP sounds like sharing an article just for the merit. Then I wouldn't give one.
