Steemit Statistics & Big Data: 🚀 End of March 2018 Update 🚀

Thanks to ALL of you, Steemit is growing fast!

We reached 39.4 mn visits in March !

There is an important difference between total visitors to a site and unique ones. In this case the 39.4mn 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 17,26mn !

I] Traffic

Daily Steemit Traffic

The number of Daily visits in October was at 600k+. 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.1.25mn in March. Let’s hope it is just a quick 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 1,109 worldwide vs 935 last month
Steemit is ranked 1,392 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 the United Kingdom with -16.13% visits!

Visits from countries like India, Venezuela or Poland are increasing strongly.

Mobile Traffic is catching up fast as it represents 42.5% of the total

This is useful to know how people use the Steem platform. Initiatives like 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 51,7% of the incoming Traffic.

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 March assumptions

• Total visits to Steemit.com: 39,4mn
• Assumption of Total unique visitors in March: 10-14mn
• Total Daily visitors: 1.2-1.4mn
• Assumption of Total Daily Unique visitors: 750-850k

This is a collective achievement and I would like to congratulate all of us!
