RE: The 2 Highest Ranking Steem Articles in Google have a Total of $0.30 in Rewards put together!
It's an interesting topic. I covered in a bit of detail on what steemit ranks for in an old posts here https://steemit.com/steemit/@adamm/what-steem-can-do-to-fix-the-marketing-struggles-of-crypto-currencies-a-digital-marketers-view
There's a huge difference between what is popular on steemit and what gets shared externally.
I saw you on the STEEMSQL steemit chat the other day - I wonder how hard it would be to use the database to write a bot that queries for the posts with the most views and then encourages people to upvote those user's latest posts. Then again, perhaps people would abuse it by continually F5'ing!
That could work. You could set it to update at a set time to stop people constantly refreshing.
I've just tried on my own, and it appears not to update the view count - perhaps it is limited to one per IP address.
