The world is searching for steemit
With just over two months behind us its interesting to look at how the world is searching for steemit.
Many users are going directly to steemit (typing in the web address). Others are being referred, but about 20% or one fifth of new users are getting to seemit from search engines.
Loyal visitors are getting to steemit via search engines a little over 16% of the time. The orange graph (bottom right) also tracks nicely the growth of the number of steemit loyal users over time.
Google naturally dominates
The world was using google to get to steemit within a few days of the site being active, but really took off on the 26th of April.
Loyal users (orange line) continue to use google to get to steemit or to find their favorite posts on steemit. I know I have ;).
If I remember something I saw on steemit but cant find it, it is quite effective to use a search engine to look it up.
Duckduckgo (the privacy, show you everything search engine)
Is in second place, although its listed by google analytics as a referrer. Its predominantly used by loyal visitors.
Bing (Microsoft)
Is next... we have some microsoft loyals in the house, these are mostly new users.
Yahoo (nearly dead)
Apparently some new users still remember and use yahoo!
Other search engines
Sending limited traffic and in diminishing order
yandex, baidu, ask, so.com, images.google, aol and sogou
I'm working on some deeper analytics to provide better granularity on search terms and landing pages, but for interest sake our most popular landing pages from search engines so far have been:
- https://steemit.com/crypto-news/@dan/is-the-dao-going-to-be-doa
- https://steemit.com/politic/@cryptoctopus/are-you-man-enough-for-hillary-manenough4hillary

- https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@vadimberkut8/10bit
5 and 6 are interestingly enough foreign language posts.
lol
The stats don't lie ;)
Although its not very useful traffic:
New Users 172
Bounce Rate 95.35%
Session Duration: 00:00:04
Most of them never browsed further and left that page after 4 seconds!!!
Having said that we may have got a loyal user or two extra.
Headed to Youtube to listen I guess.
Its not enough to get data. Interpreting it is much more difficult and you did it perfectly.
