How Popular Is Steemit?

Alexa, the site that ranks websites by their popularity ranks Steemit as the 736th most popular site in the U.S. and 1,761 most popular site in the world. (as of Dec. 26th, 2017)

A site’s ranking is based on a combined measure of Unique Visitors and Pageviews. Unique Visitors are determined by the number of unique Alexa users who visit a site on a given day. Pageviews are the total number of Alexa user URL requests for a site. However, multiple requests for the same URL on the same day by the same user are counted as a single Pageview. The site with the highest combination of unique visitors and pageviews is ranked #1. credit

That is an impressive accomplishment for a sophomore site considering it doesn't advertise in the traditional sense. This growth is mostly from word of mouth, the best advertising you can get.

To put the sites' meteoric growth in perspective let's compare it with other popular sites that have huge marketing budgets.

Steemit outranks many popular sites

and Steemit is growing faster every day.

All this growth is happening organically and with very little advertising. I'm blown away at the potential of this social network to reach every corner of the globe and predict it's going to happen sooner than any of us realize.
