RE: Getting curation Right CSI and thinking about SEO - My Steem Journal October 2019
Briefly “in here” this morning @abitcoinskeptic, enjoyed this informative post.
Extracting this …
”As seen above, my curation is quite low 80 in a month is unsatisfying. Actually my curation efficiency was 39.29% last week and the weighted one was 41.82 %.”
… do you mind sharing with us how you came up with the % values? I see where you got the 80, but not sure from there. I have always liked quantitative measures, i.e. KPIs, so hoping to learn something.
Smiled on this …
”My CSI is much higher than a lot of 'curators' …”
… as, according to you, I must be doing okay. 😉
Always something new to learn, so thanks for the effort you invested into creating this post! 👍
P.S. On this - ”If you have any suggests for who to curate, follow or just want to engage, please oblige me.” - I would encourage you to consider @blessed-girl and @leveuf. I would’ve also highly recommended @insight-out, but she hasn’t posted in a long time …
P.P.S. Unrelated to your post here, but since our last “exchange,” thought it might interest you to know I have begun to spend a little time figuring out where to invest my downvotes …
I also really like figures, that's why I think Steem combined with these analytical tools are great!
I get it from here, you can see efficiencies at the far right.
Getting it to ~50% is great because curation rewards are currently at 50% so that would mean a 0.02 vote returns 0.01 to you and 0.01 to the author. Apparently there are tools to help and predict, but I don't use any or know much about that.
It can take a little time to load, especially for those like us who vote for a lot of different accounts.
Your CSI is really great, too. I think everyone should try to increase this value before others. It's one of the best measures for the strength of the network. It would be neat to see global statistics. However from what I saw, above 20 isn't very common, so you are doing very well to spread your vote around.
Glad you liked the post. I think if people are aware of tools to judge quality and interconnectedness, things will keep improving.
I've followed all these accounts, from there few last posts, they look like great authors.
I don't expect everyone to downvote or follow my style, but you don't have to look very hard to find abuse or people who are over rewarded. As you just linked above, there are much better authors out there who probably deserve more. And bad actors can always improve. I usually remove my downvotes if asked nicely anyway.
Very good @abitcoinskeptic. Thank you for that! Funny it is down in a section of SteemWorld I have never used. And I love SteemWorld! 😊
Reminds me of my role prior to my recent retirement as a Business Analyst. While I am unaware of any definitive study of the topic, it wass a pretty widely held belief (in the professional circles where I live anyway) that only a small fraction of the total power of most applications is ever harnessed for the benefit of the organization who paid for them.
So ... Here I am learning about a feature of SteemWorld that I never took the time to check into. As you indicated, it took awhile to load, but here is where I ended up:
It appears, from your input above, that this isn't too bad. Honestly, I truly am an investor in Steem, but I have never taken the time to understand this type of information better. I typically just browse around "in here" and do whatever seems right and figure the "chips will fall where they will" from there. Probably an indication I am not that good of an investor ... 😉
Moving forward, benefiting from your detailed post here, hopefully I'll remember to keep a closer eye on these numbers. Thanks again for the assist! 👍

Glad you liked this feature. From your early CSI share, it looked like you voted around 1000 times in a week which is more than me. It needs to read and calculate all those cases.
Your weighted average is a lot higher than your average.
You likely give out a lot of smaller upvotes automatically or more haphazardly to people you just want to support. You don't pay much attention to maximizing curation rewards when doing this (maybe a lot are automatic).
You give out larger votes, probably mostly manually to things you really like or feel need the extra support.
Actually, I think a weighted average of above 50 is great. If you can get it to above 60, you are doing very well. That's my goal. You can just try to do a few less smaller votes for accounts that are already well supported. I've stopped auto-voting for anything already above 15SBD (my tool let's me set this). I rarely vote for anything above 50 SBD manually unless it's really profound or exceptional. It's helping my curation a bit and for the most part I can find more than enough content at this level. Very few authors I follow (other than steemitblog who burns it all anyway) normally hit above 50SBD.
