Thanks to ALL of you, Steemit is growing fast!
We reached 19mn visits in November ALONE.
There is an important difference between total visitors to a site and unique ones. In this case the 18.66mn 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.
I] Traffic
Daily Steemit Traffic
The number of Daily visits is quite consistent between 400k and 600k in August and September. It has been improving in October at 600k+.
Look at end of November metrics ! Up to 800k+
Steemit website is ranked 2,136 worldwide vs 2,175 last month
Steemit is ranked 1,242 in the US vs 1,641 last month
Steemit kept on improving its ranking as it ranked 12,000+ 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 growth came from South Korea with +40,3% visits!
Mobile Traffic is catching up fast as it represents 43.22% of the total
This is useful to know how people use the Steem platform. Initiatives like eSteem (mobile app), busy.org, 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'll 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 800k+ Daily Visits.
II] Marketing Mix
Organic Search is still improving and represents 45,7% of the incoming Traffic. This is an increase +4% compared to September. 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

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 November assumptions
- Total visits to Steemit.com: 19mn
- Assumption of Total unique visitors in November: 5mn
- Assumption of Total Daily unique visitors: 350-400k
This is a collective achievement and I would like to congratulate all of us!
