   My user count is getting close to a 1000 users and I'd like to be able to give a small reward to the 1000th user. Is this possible?

         Just be careful about HubPages' new rules that restrict hubs linking to e-books.

   Not insofar as you don't know who they are, and statistics have some delay. If they leave a comment, you may be able to contact them.

   Yeah...is it a feature worth implementing though? Like I just setup a gift to be delivered from ebay or something to a reader who is say 1000th/2000th or whatever i set it to, and popup the reward to the user with a request to claim it?
   
   Can't think of anyway to handle the stats but maybe you can do seomthing?

   I frankly don't think it is a technical issue. It is a legal issue. There are all kinds of legalities involved in any kind of awards, prizes, contests. So, regardless of whether it is technically feasible, I don't see HubPages implementing such a feature.

   I don't think it is possible. Even it could be you, the 1000th user :-) Hence reward yourself by writing another great quality hub. All the best.

         so you meant to say that after publishing a hub, you would never see how it look like after publishing (though we have preview option, I used to do this)?  how do you check the Hubmetrics, status, keywords, incoming links - never done?
         
         Just out of my curiosity  :-)

            Yup, I use the preview options, and yup, I don't check the hubmetrics, keywords etc. though….i'm a total n00b when it comes to SEO!
