1. Your posts are added to the pool and are voted on based on your Pool Priority level. You will see as time goes by that your posts gain more and more votes.

2. The Shadow Queue is the amount of total Voting Power that you would have to allocate at that time to up vote every post in the Shadow Pool. This number will vary widely based on the number of posts in the pool at any given time.

Voting Efficiency is how much of the total 20% 24h VP usage. Every day your Voting Power recharges 20% which would be 100% efficiency is ShadowBot was able to utilize 20% of your VP that day.

1. Up voting your own posts is a topic of big debate. Personally we feel upvoting your own content defeats the real purpose of steem. We do not encourage you cut all voting out, our biggest guideline is never let your Voting Power drop below 92%.
