Thanks to ALL of you, Steemit is growing fast!
We reached 15,4mn visits in September ALONE.
There is an important difference between total visitors to a site and unique ones. In this case the 15.4mn 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.
I] Traffic
Daily Steemit Traffic
The number of Daily visits is quite consistent between 400k and 600k over the last 3 months.
Steemit website is ranked 2,154 worldwide vs 2,180 last month
Steemit is ranked 1,541 in the United States vs 1,304 last month
Steemit kept on improving its ranking as it was 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
The Top 5 countries share went down in September compared to August. It means that other countries are joining into the platform, which is very good for Steemit. It is truly becoming a global platform.
In the Top 5, the strongest traffic growth came from Germany with +3% visits
Mobile Traffic is catching up fast as it represents 42.07% of the total
This is useful to know how people use the Steem platform. Initiatives like eSteem (mobile app) 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 exemple, let's say you connected at home, at work and in the subway. You would represent 3 visits out of these 400-600k Daily Visits.
II] Marketing Mix
Organic Search is still improving with of the incoming Traffic 37,9%. This is an increase +1,5% compared to August. Organic search is mostly 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.

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 September assumptions
Total visits to Steemit.com: 15,4mn
Assumption of Total unique visitors in September: 4mn
Assumption of Total Daily unique visitors: 250-300k
This is a collective achievment and I would like to congratulate all of us !
