Analysis of #Art - What the Data Tells Us– Steemit Business Intelligence
Do you post to the Art tag here on Steemit? Then this post is for you.
I have been analyzing the Steemit SQL database held and managed by @arcange for the last few weeks. Art in the top 5 tags here on Steemit so a good tag to analyse, but I also had a request.
So @leoplaw let’s take a deep dive into the data on #Art
The data I have used for this analysis is the comments table, filtered for #Art and for 7 days starting 1 Aug. The data is also filtered for Posts only. This means that ‘Comments’ have not been analysed, just the actual posts.
High level overview of #Art
For the 1 week’s period taken, there were 2,940 posts made to the #Art tag. That works out at over 17 posts every hour. In total 1,134 authors directly posted to #Art.
This make #art the 5 most popular tag for the 1st week in Aug in terms of the number of posts. Almost 3% of posts made that week were in the #art tag.
This all seems to be in line with July data, so I am happy with the sample data only being 1 week.
Let’s take a quick look at the words used in the title of each post in #art
How engaged were readers with #art posts?
On steemit there are a number of things we can try and measure in terms of benchmarking. I consider a comment to be engagement. I would not consider and resteem or a vote engagement, as this can be done without reading the post.
Almost half (43%) of posts have between 2-10 comments. In a similar analysis I carried out for the month of July on all Steemit posts 39% of posts had between 2-10 comments, and 32% had no comments. It is good to see in #art the % of posts with 0 comments is less than the Steemit average.
Let’s see now the leader board for authors with the highest average number of comments per post
It is awesome to see that 1 post by @sammosk received so much interest and engagement, with 158 comments on his only post in #Art for the week.
On average from the data taken a post in #art receives 5.43 comments.
Votes analysis in #Art
We all like votes right, and there is a correlation with the number of votes and the pay-out value of a post. Not only that, but votes act as social proof on a post.
Almost 30% of posts received between 11 and 50 votes, the average for July across all of steemit was 22%. If your post in #art gets more than 50 votes then you can consider you post to be in the top 7% of posts in #art ranked on vote count.
The average number of votes per post in #art is 17. Let’s have look at the leader board when it comes to average votes per post
Financial Rewards in #Art
5% of posts in #art have no pay-out. This is below the average for Steemit in general in July as this was 7%. 69% of posts earn less than $1. Again this is below the general Steemit July average of 73%.
Other interesting data:
The busy time for the art tag is between 15:00 and 21:00. The most popular day was Monday 1st Aug.

It is interesting to see that #art performs better than the average Steemit content, on all metrics. It is great to see such an engaged audience. Your stats help set some sort of bench mark for #art posts. Thank you again!
You are most welcome. Glad you liked the post and found it of use
I will be pushing the article under the noses of a few of the Steemit artists. ;-)

Great post. One thing I would like to see, well perhaps two, is some blocking factors, such as removing comments below a certain character count and excluding phrases like "follow me". Ostensibly, those posts should be given a lower weight, likely many people that add comments that fit in that category did not interact with/read the content.
I also think there is value in weighting votes based on category of voter, the obvious whale/dolphin/minnow, but also bot vs person, purchased vs organic vote, etc...
Cheers,
@kellyjanderson
there are a lot of people trying to establish votes based on bots ,v perosn, ourchased v's organic
I remember that day well.. So much typing and thinking and more typing. And I don't even think I replied to them all... D: still feels bad about that
Thanks for the mention, the art tag is one of my favorite to curate and create within. :)
Hope you have a lovely day and keep on doing the number crunching! <3
Much love.
thank you @sammosk
Question: What time zone are the posting times measured against?
uct
Sorry, I can't find that. Could you please give me a plus or minus GMT/UTC or a city?
Cheers.
If I'm not mistaken, that's what used to be Greenwich time. We are 2 hours later (right now with summer time) :-)
Thanks for the clarification, I searched, but turned up confusing information.
I follow several artists that are new and underappreciated.
Very interesting report! Thank you!
Cool info, thanks for posting it!
