Good morning ;-))
Which plays a bigger role in bringing traffic to Steemit, Communities or Hashtags?
No one of both I would say. Communities can be helpful for authors to structure their publications. Hashtags should lead to the content (don't do this because of tags like #steemexclusive or #club123...
The only way to generate traffic is interesting and unique content!
We often talk about inviting investors to Steemit or promoting Steem. But how can we convince investors and users that investing in Steem will be beneficial for them?
How does a sales representative convince his customer to buy exactly THIS hoover...?
So, what's the reality behind the rewards generated on Steemit?
My question from my first day on Steem: hopefully you'll get an answer.
I have another question to @xpilar: what the hell are you doing with @witness.xpilar account and the comment bot??? He's gone mad!
Dear you tell the fact things but the thing is there are too much communities and plenty of hashtags. People use those hashtags that are even not important that make the rush in steemit platform. Indeed you are saying Right things. I agree 💯 with you.
Well. The eternally identical (bad) style of the masses of comments alone is a clear indication of this. But if you look at the frequency and number of these activities, it only works with an AI. The point is that we deny ‘small, unknown’ users this opportunity; we say: bot-generated comments are not acceptable, they hinder real interaction and have no value. And a witness uses this strategy to advertise himself...?
I appreciate @xpilar for much of what he represents on this platform. But this action is out of line and I would really like to hear from him himself what this is about....
It is not that there are too many communities, let's be fair each country could run exactly the same topic-community in their own language if they would go for it without harming other communities.
The main problem is the communities are a mess!
A country community does not stand for a topic and many tried to host literally every type of contest to be noticed. The result is it's chaotic, interesting posts cannot be found. I mean seriously: who likes to read poetry or read about healthcare will not visit Pakistan or Venezuela and scroll through hundreds of diaries in the hope to find a poem!
The lack of or using the wrong hashtags is another problem. If I search for #story most of what I see is nonsense text and indeed diaries and AI text and whatever is posted. It is the same for every hashtag used.
A community should stand for a topic and make clear that only certain content is accepted and which hashtags should be used.
If it's important to mention: steemexclusive, clubstatus, country and burnsteem25 let those hashtags be the last 4 since not one of them is important. It's just extra information that can be found everywhere and no one will say: I am bored let's see who joins #club5050
I'm so glad that you took the time to read my questions and respond to them in such a kind manner. I believe that communities have a post structure that is only accessible to users on Steemit. And I also understand that posting in communities on Steemit is better for individuals.
My question is, if I want to know which method is most effective in reaching readers outside of Steemit so that my post can easily show up in internet searches?
The answer is NEED. How do we tell someone that they need to keep Steem with them, but there should be a specific Reason for it.
Regarding xpilar.witness, I would say that this is not @witness.xpilar but some other account @xpilar.witness, and the task of promotion has been given to a lazy person who doesn't have time to read people's posts and is commenting on users' posts without reading them, using AI-generated comments :-)"
Thanks and Have a Good Day. :-)
Yes, thats what I meant. They provide structure for the author himself and his local followers. Outside of Steem, this structure loses its relevance.
This question probably concerns all users... Promoting in other social networks seemed logical, but seems to have only marginal effects. I'd be curious to see what @philhughes could contribute... ;-))
No! Not an existing need. They convince you that you would benefit from it. So the need is generated. You could also call it manipulation.
@xpilar.witness (of course you are right ;-)) continues. He's got downvoted and flagged and fallen down with his reputation... For what?
When I search for a topic on Chrome or any other browser, I notice that the next time I open Chrome (whether it's the next day or after 3 days), I see many related posts recommended in the recommendation section. However, despite being active on Steemit daily, I have never seen any trending Steemit posts recommended on Google. Despite many posts having high engagement and being trending topics, why don't Steemit posts appear in recommendations? This is strange.
Does this mean that manipulation can be done to onboard people on Steemit or to bring in investors? (Or maybe they are being lured with rewards?) . Because apart from this, I don't see any other option.
I think @xpilar can answer this question better because this account is associated with their name and they are a respected personality on Steemit.
