Steemit Statistics & Big Data: πŸš€ End of October 2018 Update πŸš€

in #steemit β€’ 6 years ago (edited)

Thanks to ALL of you, Steemit is staying alive !

We reached 14.34 mn visits in October!

There is an important difference between total visitors to a site and unique ones. In this case the 14.34mn include the multiple times a person visited the website.

Therefore, as a good Steemian you probably connect everyday which 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. According to the Beta Analysis from the website I use to compile these datas, it is around 7,4mn !

I] Traffic

Daily Steemit Traffic

In January, we experienced the best daily numbers at 1.5mn+; they decreased a little under 1.5mn in February.
Unfortunately the daily traffic on Steemit slowed down to c.500 000 in October 2018. Let’s hope it is just a little setback
Another, explanation could be that people spend more time on apps (Steepshot, Dtube, eSteem…) which are not accounted in this analysis.

Steemit website is ranked 3,300 worldwide
Steemit is ranked 2,993 in the US
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 decline came from Brazil with -45% visits!

Mobile Traffic is catching up fast as it represents 44.96% of the total

This is useful to know how people use the Steem platform. Initiatives like Partiko (mobile app), 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 will 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 once again improving and represents 53,3% of the incoming Traffic.
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 since inception of this analysis

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

Referring Social Pages

Twitter represents 15,7% of all the social platform incoming traffic. Reddit is also a strong source of new visits on the Steemit Platform. Last week, Facebook was the first Social Media to bring traffic 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 October assumptions

  • Total visits to Steemit.com: 14,34mn
  • Assumption of Total unique visitors in October: 7-8mn
  • Total Daily visitors: 400-500k
  • Assumption of Total Daily Unique visitors: 300-350k

This is a collective achievement and I would like to congratulate all of us! We need to do better and get back to the January 2018's type of numbers.

I think that dApps will help more girls joining the platform!
Huge gap here
Great combination of stats, nice read @vlemon!

Which one is your favorite?

Posted using Partiko iOS

Thank you for replying : )

I occasionally use @steepshot, I often use @actifit (with the hope to use it more in the future) and recently I started using the new steemstem.io app by @steemstem!

I am excited to be able to try the new @appics (it is very elegant and sleek, and can't wait till it is ready & open to the public!) and I am also looking forward to the @utopian-io app.

I am sure that the future before us is a multidimensional, bright one and full of surprises!

I would like to share your enthusiasm but I have been a critic of Ned for not developing Steem and Steemit in the right way. With many newbies becoming disgusted after a few days.

Posted using Partiko iOS

There's a lot that could/should be improved, and it is true that the retention is close to zero. (I bet)
It also has to do with expectations of the user. Why some people stay and some not?
I see some big changes in the way steemit is trying to be more connected to the community and the world. Not sure what will come out, but let's wait and see!

I agree with you. Dapps will be key for mass adoption.

Is there a way to aggregate all traffic including partiko, steepshot, drube etc.?

Posted using Partiko Android

It is possible using urls. For Partiko or let’s say Steepshot as people use apps it is difficult to add it to web traffic.
I will publish another one with the different websites of the Steem ecosystem.
Thanks for upvotes.

Hi!
Thanks for the numbers.
Without Google Analytics or a counter in the main server (of every Dapp), you can't tell anything. Alexa and the rest are too too vague.
Just my opinion.

I am using paying programs which filter datas through Google Analytics partnerships and other means that I cannot really explain now.
These numbers are accurate (with websites I tested).

Thanks a lot for your reply and your clarification.

You are more than welcome, thank you for reaching out to me.
Have a great day @steemitri

What I like is we receive a lot of organic search from the search engine and this is a really good thing.

Indeed, this is saying our articles and blogs are actually interesting to a lot of people !
