I found steemit is missing an important feature from the beginning.
Each post on steemit has three indicators, the amount of reward, votes counter, and reply counter.
These three indicators are very helpful, of course.
Authors should focus on these three numbers to improve their posts.
But the most commonly used indicator, pageview is simply ignored on steemit!!!
Why not show pageviews to the public?
Authors & readers are very concerned about how many times the posts have been read.
Recently, I was writing a long novel, Death of A Virgin.
I'm very curious about how many people are reading my novel, where do they come from?
But now, I have no idea of at all. What a pitty!
Take the top posts on steemit homepage as another example.
They're earning thousands of dollars as reward.
If there are pageviews of every successful posts, everybody'll have a better understanding what kind of topics are more attracitve. We can't decide how much a post will earn because the big whales may not upvote. But We can decide to contribute popular posts with more readers.
@dantheman @smooth @ben @dan @ned
So I want to invite the development team to consider the feature of showing pageviews to every posts.
Big whales please help me to make this proposal known.
Buddies, support or not, please leave your comments. Thank you!

A lot of people have already expressed the need of views counter for Blog posts, me as well, I have even tried using some workaround solutions, but unfortunately these are no go either as explained by @dantheman: https://steemit.com/post-views/@cryptos/steemit-post-views-counter-back-to-square-1
so glad to see we share the same point.
more discussion like this will tell the developer team how desperately we need this feature.
Interesting comment. UPVOTED and FOLLOWED! The good news is that we are still in Beta and things keep on getting better and better. Up until a week ago we didn't know who are followers were and now that's been added. The Steemit administration is listening, adapting and implementing!
There are also other excellent third party sights that show stats etc..
For example check out:

Glad to see this post in 2 languages. Rock on!

Just substitute your username with mine.
thanks for your information. these two websites are cool!
Thanks for your suggestion. I wrote the same in a very short message: https://steemit.com/steemit/@metaflute/the-number-of-real-reads-also-matters
It's good to see that other people also think in a same way.
so glad to see we share the complete same point.
true personally i wana know if people are viewing my posts not just upvoting them..
exactly. i'm deadly wonder how many people are reading my novel.
确实这个功能非常有必要，我也准备在这个平台创造一部小说。有多少人看，这个是作者非常大的动力来源。
没错啊 现在只有几个人点赞，还不如我自己回看的次数多 太有挫败感了
其实正儿八经写小说的人，都是付出极大感情的，
有多少奖励根本无所谓，更重要的是有人读，有人捧场
xianjun, you have made a very good point. It would be a fantastic indicator to see the views in relation to the upvotes you recieve.
There are certainly a few things this site could do with, and that is definitely one of them.
thanks for your support.
it's a simple but very helpful feature for all of us.
the developer team shall consider it seriously.
这个很有必要
顶上来
是啊 对于整儿八经写东西的人来说，有多少人在读太重要了！
很有必要，而且增加了奖励的透明度。
没错没错，应该适当把奖励和pv也挂钩
这个建议好，顶上去
谢谢。欢迎更多的顶，让开发者团队关注到
