Monthly Update: Steemit's Alexa Ranking, April 29, 2018
For the last four months I have been tracking and posting about Steemit's Alexa rankings. Although Steemit has shown excellent growth since its beginning, the last two months Steemit has shown a very slight downward trend.
I'm greatly encouraged by two trends I see in the information below: 1. The recent surge in Steemit price appears to be reflected in an increase in activity on the site, and 2. There is a significant increase in Steemit traffic coming within India, the world's second-most populated nation, while several other nations are also paying more attention to Steemit.

Google Trends over the Last 90 Days
Google Trends is showing that a large percentage of Google searches in Venezuela are currently directed towards Steemit. Other nations showing a moderate Google search interest in Steemit include Myanmar (Burma), Nigeria, Bangladesh, and South Korea.
Google Trends over the Last 30 Days
For the last 30 days, Google Trends is showing a similar pattern, but South Korea was replaced by Uganda. I'm encouraged to see that Uganda is showing an increasing amount of interest.
Overall, I would have to agree with @truth-be-told concerning Steemit's overall performance. He told me in last month's update that Steemit trends tend to follow Bitcoin trends, and that does seem likely.
Tune in next month to continue watching Steemit's Alexa rankings.
Things are shaping up for a big run here I think. And I'm not talking only about price...I think people are going to start using the blockchain so much more and we'll see the different apps increase while maybe Steemit goes down...
Loads of people just go to things like dtube and dlive rather than steemit, which would be interesting to see what their alexa have been over the past few months.
Great points, @jongolson. I should start tracking those, too. I've been tied up with my normal job and other life routines and haven't been on much lately. Now that I've had time to look around, I'm shocked at how much dtube and dlive have grown.
For sure...It's crazy. But huge growth from them as well as things like Busy and Steephot. That's the best part about this blockchain...So many entry points.
