Steemit Statistics & Big Data: 🚀 End of 2017 Update 🚀

Thanks to ALL of you, Steemit is growing fast!

We reached 34.36mn visits in December ALONE!

There is an important difference between total visitors to a site and unique ones. In this case the 34.36mn include the multiple times a person visited the website. Therefore, as a good Steemian you probably connect everyday hich will make you count for a total of 30 visits.

Therefore, how many "unique users" does Steemit has?

This is a very important question that I will try to answer later on.

I] Traffic

Daily Steemit Traffic

The number of Daily visits in October was at 600k+. In November it improved to 800k+

Look at December! 1mn+ and 1.25mn at the end of last month!

Steemit website is ranked 1,390 worldwide vs 2,136 last month
Steemit is ranked 505 in the US vs 1,242 last month
Steemit kept on improving its ranking as it ranked 15,000+ last year.

Google Trends

Google Trend is an Indice based on 100, which means that 100 represents the week when most people searched for "Steemit" on Google.

Steemit Traffic share by country

In the Top 5, the strongest traffic growth came from South Korea with +136,33% visits!

Mobile Traffic is catching up fast as it represents 43.22% of the total

This is useful to know how people use the Steem platform. Initiatives like eSteem (mobile app), busy.org, SteepShot (Instagram), Zappl (Twitter like), utopian-io… will probably help the community to grow on mobile phones.

Be Careful with the Number of Visits

Also, remember that if you connect from a different device (home/work computer, mobile phone, tablet) you'll count as a "new visitor" on each of these devices.

So as an example, let's say you connected at home, at work and in the subway. You would represent 3 visits out of these 1mn+ Daily Visits.

II] Marketing Mix

Organic Search is still improving and represents 51,4% of the incoming Traffic. This is an increase +6% compared to November. Organic search is when people research on Google. As the number of quality bloggers on Steemit increase, our content has a higher probability of being listed in Google's Top results.

Different Channels:

Direct: When you type in you Web browser www.steemit.com
Mail: When you connect to steemit.com through an e-mail link
Referrals: When you connect to steemit.com through a link found on another website (github...)
Social: When you connect to Steemit through a Facebook, Twitter, Instagram... page or link
Organic Search: When you type a search term like "Crypto" on Google and you click on one of the following steemit link proposed to you

Traffic Share Evolution during the last months

Huge improvement in Organic Search which means the Content Strategy is working as people come across Steemit looking for Crypto, Blog, Travel, etc… related articles.

Referring Social Pages

Facebook represents 35.6% of all the social platform incoming traffic. Reddit is also a strong source of new visits on the Steemit Platform

5 most searched terms on Google that leads to Steemit.com

III] Steemit website metrics

You feel a bit confused about these 3 metrics? Let me explain.

• Bounce Rate is the % of people that leave the Website after just navigating on a single Webpage. The lower, the Better
• Daily Pageviews per Visitor is the average number of pages a visitor opens. The Higher, the Better
• Daily Time on Site is the full time a visitor spend on the website before closing the internet Webpage. The Higher the Better

My December assumptions

• Total visits to Steemit.com: 34,36mn
• Assumption of Total unique visitors in September: 9mn
• Assumption of Total Daily unique visitors: 600-700k

This is a collective achievement and I would like to congratulate all of us!
