Ranking in Steemit is much simpler than ranking in Google.
To rank in google, you have to do keyword research, key phrase research and then do search engine optimization on your blog, which is a lot of hard work.
But to rank in steemit is easy if you have money, hence Steem Power. But if you don't have that, it is really impossible to rank.
You can write a million posts and it will get hidden in the blockchain forever!!!
But lucky me, I found this article from 5 months ago:

Still no hope for those without Steem Power aka money.
No hope for me...
