Steemit, the social media site that rewards content creators and curators for creating content and engaging on the site, is growing larger every day.
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
Steemit is more popular than...
)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.
In a week, give us another figurative graph about steemit (steem) gor to be better.
One cool thing now, nobody is complaining.
Steemit and other sites running steem are doing a good job.
Keep on steemit.
Thank god we are more popular than kmart. I almost had to go outside and beat myself with a snow shovel.
LMAO
Wow! Two days ago was the first time I've heard about this incredible platform and here is my first post. No one of my friends knows it, however it seems to me that we are in the right place and the right time? Aren't we? :)
A KMart snow shovel. Lol
Appreciate the analysis. But I think a more reasonable comparable would be to show the traffic rankings of some burgeoning social media sites. While a comparison to legacy sites like facebook or reddit might not be fair, to show perspective based on a dying retailer (kmart) or mcdonalds.com probably isn't the best either. You want to use sites with similar use cases :)
Good idea.
It is amazing how fast Steemit is growing!! I am so happy that i get to be a part of it in such an early stage! We are all truly blessed to be here while it still is beta! . It blows my mind how many lives it is changing for the better! And how much potential it has! There’s a world of opportunities in here! I am surprised that not that many people know about it!! Even though it is such an amazing site.
I am sure it’s going to over grow facebook soon!
Resteemed because this is AWESOME! It's so exciting that the ~future~ that blockchain social represents is being adopted, in the form of our dear Steemit, in such magnitude.
Hehe, amazing perspective.
I consider this organic growth something to be cherished as well. I'm not sure it would be beneficial to the quality of this network if we opened the flood gates and brought people in en mass for the wrong reasons via ads on platforms with abysmal quality standards.
If we let steemit grow organically there will be a different focus than relentless mass adoption.
Kinda like that old hippie saying goes:
"You don't find it. It will find you when you're ready"
<3
I like this idea of just letting Steemit do what it doe and evolve naturally. It will change as it grows as all things do. That's just the way of things, especially online.
Uhmm... I think it has reached every corner of the globe. I have left comments on people post from South Africa, Nigeria, India, China, Korea, Croatia, Russia, England, France, Spain, Bali, Netherlands, Germany, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Mexico, Panama, Philippines, USA, Canada, and a few others, pretty much every corner of the globe. I think there is even someone that post or posted from Antarctica, and I am pretty sure there are a few people from Greenland. Lots and Lots of Places, and I just love seeing their countries through their eyes, the pictures, the stories, the people, truly a breath of fresh air being steemed through the atmosphere.
It's great, right?
Oh yes it is. I like learning about other people and their countries. This is a good way, since I can not afford to travel, I travel through their pictures and words.
re-steemed this so I could have easy access on my own timeline to show others outside of this sewing circle. Thanks
Great way to put it! More popular than Oprah and McDonalds! Steemit is the new pink! Hop on :) I am new here but love it. These numbers will help me convince my friends to check it out. Thanks. Blessings.
Welcome to Steemit. It's a great community as I'm sure you're discovering. It sounds weird to say this but this site has changed my life and created a lot of opportunity for a lot of people.
Doesn’t sound weird at all! Sounds like hope for many! Blessings
This site is really changing my life, no doubt!
Hmm, sounds like a good idea for a post.
How Steemit has changed my life.
Yes, I know right😁 it's like life before and after steemit.
I just got myself a new phone (SBD Sponsored) after selling my old phone to start my hair business in January and later got another one to manage and now with the help of steemit, I now have a better one, I am so excited about this!
Congratulations!
This is still very undervalued, steemit should be the most popular site in the world, there is nothing like it out there... And i am pretty sure it will be the most popular website soon or later... Site development been a bit slow honestly, but this have so much great potential...
It is undervalued. It's given so much more than Facebook ever did. At $3 a Steem it's still a bargain and I think it will go higher.
Steem should go up at least >10$, and that is just in the short term... The thing is steemit is higly misunderstood, simply because general public does not understand blockchain at all... Most of people i invite to steemit hesitate because they thing this is some kind of referal program, ponzy scheme or whatever, it is kind of hard to explain people what steemit.com is about because there is nothing out there to compare, and i think that happen to any revolutionary idea that represents a paradigm shift...
The same thing happened with the internet and look at us now. I remember explaining to friends about websites and they just thought it was some kind of brochure. When email started I remember people wondering why you would want to send an email when you can just write them a letter. When is the last time you sent someone a letter?
When Steem does hit >10 we'll all be glad for all those .283 Steem rewards we earned from a comment on someone's blog which suddenly becomes $2.83 or more.
Yeah, Steemit is getting popular. People who are into crypto currencies are interested in joining but we have strict sign up policies now.
Many writers are writing seo friendly articles which are getting ranked on Google which results is traffic.
Thanks for sharing happy steering @luzcypher
Well I am just glad you got me on board!
Wow! Great to have this perspective! Thanks for the post!
Steemit is certainly gaining dominance in the social media space as more people come on board
So cray! Just got on here 1 week ago and have already made money and new friends! I got 3 people to start accounts haha so word of mouth and $$ talks!
Looking forward to the growth of steemit!
Wow, good to know!
I'm glad we are gaining steem :)
Nice post keep posting
Happy New Year
That's some incredible perspective.
We might be on to something :)
I can not say its good but its amazing.
The great era of crypto, I like steemit so much, the grow up of steemit member in my area was shocking me. I think, this number will change facebook, twitter. Thank you for good post @luzcypher
I know it won't take long...thanks for sharing
It's clear that blockchain has hit the mainstream.
I'm excited to see second order effects of blockchain being used for something in the mainstream other than speculation.
Looking at you here real estate title companies....
I’m blown away too. I love steemit, adore watching its growth, and I’m THRILLED to be any little part in this community. 🙌🏽
Thanks for the perspective! I could read about steemit's popularity a thousand times, but the graphics really send the message home! Funny how Dean meets you, we know Dean simply from hanging out in Playa; strange where opportunities present themselves these days :)
It is strange indeed how we find a platform like this. That would make a great book, how people discovered Steemit.
"6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon"...but steemit!
Wow, this is pretty incredible, thank you for sharing this! I'm pretty new - only on for a few weeks and really digging the community already!

Nice ranking and I pray steemit continue to grow
Forward ever backward never❤❤❤🌷
I'm glad to now be apart of a community of people that support each other....I know that it is only going to get bigger from here....I just started a few days ago and already love steemit
i have been posting to Steemit, but not finding a lot of viewers, and finding a lot of Bots.
If the bots take over, I would have to be moving on. I hope not, I kind of like Steemit.
Nice. I bet you're glad you kept going. Merry Christmas and Steemy New Year!
