There will be some more Steem prizes on offer for people who enter this week - show your interest in the comments section below.
On your marks, get set, curate!

How well are you curating financially?
Are you making the best use of your Steem Power and votes?
This post looks at how well the users on this list are curating, purely from a financial perspective.
Introduction
My general opinion on curation is:
Voting in the first minute will earn you a curation reward of almost 0.000
Voting between 1 and 29 minutes will earn an increasing % of the curation rewards split, this value peaking at 30 minutes and remaining the same from this point onwards
The goal is to get in prior to the big hitters, but not too early!
It is commonly suggested that 20-25 minutes is the 'best' time to vote (especially on known power-authors posts because they are likely to have more auto-votes coming in at these times - and you want to be ahead of these votes)
A vote of equal weight and equal Steem Power at 30 minutes will give more reward than a vote at, for example 1 hour - first come first served, but don't arrive to early :)
As you can see, a combination of many variables such as Steem Power, voting strength, voting weight, and time of vote, (and more) all play a part in the amount of reward received.
Is there a skill to it though? And how well are you doing?
The data
The raw data has been collected from SteemSQL - @arcange's MS SQL Server copy of the Steem Blockchain.
The key formula used for 'quality of financial curation skill' is:
Curation Rewards DIVIDED BY Steem Power MULTIPLIED BY 1000
This will return the amount of Curation rewards gained per 1000 Steem Power held
Before I present the table (which has entrants from the previous Blogs and those who wished to be added by making themselves known in last week's comments), this is the criteria needed to be fulfilled to have a chance of appearing on the list:
Must have voted at least once on a piece of content in the past 7 days
Must not have leased or delegated Steem Power in the last 15 days
Must not have Started a Power Down (Withdrawl of Steem Power) in the last 15 days
The 2nd and 3rd points above are required to reduce distortion of the figures. And, as curation rewards for the past week are actually taken from votes made up to 14 days ago, we need a 15 day window as mentioned in these points.

The end column is what I think is a genuine indicator of how well you are financially working the curation game with the tools,including vested Steem Power, that you have at your disposal.
Chart and Analysis

Might need to zoom in this week - sorry!
This weeks' findings:
@biophil takes the top spot this week with an impressive 5.76 SP earned for every 1000 owned, nice! @biophil will be an account familiar to regular visitors to the Curation League post as he has previously topped the table (before I started giving out prizes!). 5 Steem on its way to you, well done!
@buggedout will be receiving 2.5 Steem for finishing 2nd, as he did last week, well done!
My 3rd prize (which will change in criteria each week) of 2.5 Steem is going to @jznsamuel for 'highest placed new entrant' to the league. Well done!
A mention to @dontstopmenow, last weeks' winner, who finishes in an honorable 4th this week. ( @dontstopmenow has a trail you can follow at https://steemauto.com/ if you wish to get closer to his score)
Also deserved of a mention is @coolguy123 who despite voting over 1000 times last week, still managed a score higher than the average - a great effort!
Prizes sent
The average curation reward/Steem Power this week is 1.335 SP, a small improvement on last week.
A good target to aim for would be to beat this average, with an excellent target being 2.0 SP earned, per every 1000 vested SP owned.
Finally
A few points:
If you have spotted any glaring errors in my post, please let me know so I can fix them
If you would like to be added or removed from my personal curation league (next weeks post) let me know
If you have any other comments, please enter them into the box below
A prize for top of the table and other secret criteria(!) will be given in next weeks post
And ...
I feel that curation should be about finding awesome content and giving it an up-vote - irrelevant of the curation rewards you might receive

Thanks for reading today!
Asher @abh12345
fantastic, I didnt know you were doing this. Good work
It's been back on a few weeks now :) Steem has doubled in price since I started the prizes though!?!
Thank you!
Saya sangat ingin postingan saya bermanfaat untuk semua orang.
I really want my post helpful for everyone
Thank you
YES! I didn't do so bad this week 😊
Well done! You beat me :p
Bagaimana supaya tidak buruk?
Anda perlu menaikkan jawatan orang lain yang anda fikir benar-benar bagus dan akan menjadi popular. Undi apabila jawatan tersebut telah disiarkan dalam talian selama kira-kira 25 minit (dan pergi membaca @abh12345 jawatan yang lebih lama untuk mendapatkan beberapa petua tentang pengurasan)
Good
Thanks man! I love the "curation league" post ;-)
Ciaooooooooooooooooo
Thank you @steemitri! Good luck for next week :D
Hi Asher, I'd like to join if I fit the requirements mentioned. (Which I think I do because I haven't delegated and powered down in the last 15 days as far as I know. Lol) I also want to know where I stand, plus the thought Of getting free STEEM if I win. Lol
Sure @eastmael, I'll add you in ready for next week!
Thanks again @abh12345 this continues to be very good analysis and very generous prize offers. It also lets me know I must be doing something right!
Yes an excellent job, well done!
Very interesting! I'd like to be added to the list if you don't mind.
No problem, I've added you to the list for next week!
This is great info, helps a lot... Thank you for the mention and the prize. Wow, I didn't realize I gave out so many votes, but I do like spreading some love while scanning steemiverse for @ocd gems and I tend to upvote comments too... Hope I can continue to improve my curation...
No worries, well done !
You are clearly on the right lines with over 2 SP earned per 1000 SP vested. Good luck for the coming week!
Great analysis! Would you add me to your list for analysis?
I certainly can thank you!
On the list for the next week, good luck!
No lima?? Booo
