A full name?

The reward is in the journey, not reaching #1 or #2 on the Leaderboard.  While there's a chance that the position will lead to more possibilities of referrals, the most likely source of new business is writing solid content that achieves the result of making your phone ring with potential clients wanting to buy/sell a home.  Over time, my concern with points overall and my spot on the Leaderboard (both state and Overall) has slipped, and I'm okay with that.  Bill

You can brag you're #1.

The satisfaction of your diligence in posting and commenting regularly and the unmeasureable benefit of meeting some fine and interesting associates along the way.

Bragging rights.

I'll send you a pin

Nothing...except free membership...which you can get when you reach 500,000 pts.

Long before you get to the top of the leader-board charts you will ask yourself, "Is this the best use of my time?"

If your response is 'Yes' what you receive is the respect and recognition of your peers and the satisfaction you have contributed significantly to the body of content now owned by Active Rain.

Satisfaction?

The satisfaction of being at the top.

I got a toaster when I hit 1 Million Points.

 Good luck with that! With over a 3 million point lead, you will be hard pressed to catch up with Pat. A good start would be to complete your profile...

The honor, respect and admiration of your peers!  A new toaster oven and bragging rights on listing appointments.

Either that or nothing.

The warm fuzzy feeling of seeing your name in lights?

Nothing but a free membership.

Better placement for prospects to see.

When you have written as many posts as we have, they will make your phone ring, and that is all that matters.

Self Satisfaction.  I think Liz and Bill Spear said it best.

What Liz and Bill Spear said.

As an aside, without posting your pic, using your real full name, identifying what industry you work in and completing your profie, that is the least of your worries right now.

An experience! 

Personal satisfaction and a gold star.

Is it VD or dv? Who cares?

I look at the Leaderboard once or twice a year.  You'll get exactly what you've put in. 

It is going to be a long journey from less than 2k points. Good luck.

you'd better start right now with that journey!!!  and you'll get recognized as #1 if and when anyone looks at the leaderboard....

Could be very valuable if AR can increase it's LOCALISM Consumer Traffic

A great big WADDAGUY!

Bragging rights, 

That is the question and Shakespeare is giving it some thought

Does it really matter? It's the friends you make along the way!

Last I heard you get $1.00 for every AR point.

What is missed, is that when you hit 1 or 2, you ar eon top of the page and therefore seen more often by consumers.  Points do have a value and a reward of more new clients the more active you are. 

d v Bragging rights!

What everyone else said...

Good luck in achieving your goals. 

The satisfaction that you got there....
