Steemit Statistics & Big Data: ๐ End of April 2019 Update ๐
Thanks to ALL of you, Steemit is still alive, stabilizing and preparing for the next Bull Run !
We reached 12.43 mn visits in April 2019!
There is an important difference between total visitors to a site and unique ones. In this case the 12.43mn include the multiple times a person visited the website.
Therefore, as a good Steemian you probably connect everyday which will make you count for a total of 30 visits.
Therefore, how many "unique users" does Steemit has?
This is a very important question that I will try to answer later on. According to the Beta Analysis from the website I use to compile these datas, it is around 7,22mn !
One quick word about the Methodology
- Datas can come from multiple sources listed in the end of this post
- These sources get their raw datas from companies working with them and sharing their datas in order to get access to competitor's ones, browsers add-ons, in-app softwares which allow the Big Data to have a very large panel of users (north of 20mn) in order to statistically have the number of users/visitsโฆ
- I use these raw datas to make excels tables, graphsโฆ
I] Traffic
Daily Steemit Traffic
In January 2018, we experienced the best daily numbers at 1.5mn+; they decreased a little under 1.5mn in February.
Unfortunately the daily traffic on Steemit slowed down to c.400 000 in December 2018. Letโs hope it is just a little setback
In April 2019, the average daily traffic was closer to 450k per day
Another, explanation could be that people spend more time on apps (Partiko, Steepshot, Dtube, Steemmonster, eSteemโฆ) which are not accounted in this analysis.
Numbers are still low BUT it is improving (stabilizing would be more accurate) since January 2018 !
Steemit website is ranked 5,325 worldwide
Steemit kept on deteriorating its ranking as it ranked 1400+ last year.
Google Trends
Google Trend is an Indice based on 100, which means that 100 represents the week when most people searched for "Steemit" on Google.
Google Trends are still very low but there is hope as Bitcoin Google Trend is increasing again, maybe more crypto users joining decentralized platforms?

Steemit Traffic share by country
In the Top 5, the strongest traffic increase came from India with +13.92% visits!
Mobile Traffic is decreasing compared to last month as it represents 48.95% of the total
This is increasing as it was only c.42% in January 2019
This is useful to know how people use the Steem platform. Initiatives like Partiko (mobile app), eSteem (mobile app), Busy.org, SteepShot (Instagram), Zappl (Twitter like), utopian-ioโฆ, TIMM will probably help the community to grow on mobile phones.
Be Careful with the Number of Visits
Also, remember that if you connect from a different device (home/work computer, mobile phone, tablet) you will count as a "new visitor" on each of these devices.
So as an example, let's say you connected at home, at work and in the subway. You would represent 3 visits out of these 1mn+ Daily Visits.
II] Marketing Mix
Organic Search is once again improving and represents 54,4% of the incoming Traffic.
Organic search is when people research on Google. As the number of quality bloggers on Steemit increase, our content has a higher probability of being listed in Google's Top results.
Different Channels:
Direct: When you type in you Web browser www.steemit.com
Mail: When you connect to steemit.com through an e-mail link
Referrals: When you connect to steemit.com through a link found on another website (github...)
Social: When you connect to Steemit through a Facebook, Twitter, Instagram... page or link
Organic Search: When you type a search term like "Crypto" on Google and you click on one of the following steemit link proposed to you
Traffic Share Evolution since inception of this analysis
The Organic Search Strategy which means the Content Strategy is working as people come across Steemit looking for Crypto, Blog, Travel, etcโฆ related articles.
Referring Social Pages
Youtube represents 30,7% of all the social platform incoming traffic. Reddit is also a strong source of new visits on the Steemit Platform. Last month, Facebook was the first Social Media to bring traffic to Steemit.com with a 27.5% contribution.
5 most searched terms on Google that leads to Steemit.com
To be honest, I donโt really get how some of these requests lead you to Steem butโฆ it does.

Age Distribution
III] Steemit website metrics
You feel a bit confused about these 3 metrics? Let me explain.
- Bounce Rate is the % of people that leave the Website after just navigating on a single Webpage. The lower, the Better
- Daily Pageviews per Visitor is the average number of pages a visitor opens. The Higher, the Better
- Daily Time on Site is the full time a visitor spend on the website before closing the internet Webpage. The Higher the Better
My April assumptions
- Total visits to Steemit.com: 12,43mn
- Assumption of Total unique visitors in January: 6.5-7mn
- Total Daily visitors: 400-500k
- Assumption of Total Daily Unique visitors: 250-300k
This is a collective achievement and I would like to congratulate all of us! We need to do better and get back to the January 2018's type of numbers.
This monthly report makes me very optimistic about STEEM's future !
As you probably all followed, we have a new communication strategy. We have Steemit Inc. delivering on numerous fronts (including HF21). The community is continuing to build (just look at our dapps ecosystem and the latest @steemmonsters release)
Steemians (such as @nathanmars) are raising awareness about our Blockchain on Twitter with the #STEEM.
We have so many projects that have matured, such an amazing Community and with Crypto prices bouncing we might have a chance to attract new users very soon!
Bring your friends, engage with fellow Steemians and make little Tribes !

You're just showing steemit on alexa ranking.
Would be interesting how high it would be if you added busy.org, utopian-io, appics etc. to your ranking.
but it is a grat info! cheers!
Thank you for your support. I will do for the next one but Alexa will not have a lot of infos en appics or actifit are they are mostly apps and not a browser website.

@vlemon thanks for the insights! By seeing that and thinking about the MIRA rollout and also having SPS & EIP in place soon things look quite optimistic - internally!
Now it's on us to spread the word since Steemit Inc still seems to be a bit shy in marketing aspects ๐
But that might get better once the SMTs will be there (when?!? ๐๐ง). Tbh I still don't really know how @steemit wants to handle another bigger boost in the user influx (who wants to wait weeks to get started?!? ๐ค), but thanks to @steem.ninja, etc there are other ways. As it looks for me now other dApps than Steemit are becoming more and more relevant like @steempeak, @partiko or @appics. Also interesting to see where projects like @reviewhunt go. (But am I their 6th follower?!? Or have I linked a wrong profile) ๐คช
I could go on for ages, but I think my record skips at PROMO, PROMO, PROMO ๐ณ๐ฒ๐คฏ
(.. and cmon who reads long comments!? ๐)

We share the same view, I am really happy about this new transparent Steem Inc.
I dit not know what pill ๐ you took to write this comment but I want the same, it looks fun ๐.
Take care my friend.

It's interesting to see that a large amount of incoming traffic is from organic search. It just goes to show that Steemit's audience really extends beyond those who are already on the blockchain. As you said, a lot of that is thanks to all the off-chain campaigns spearheaded by fellow Steemians on Twitter, Youtube, and other social media sites.
Great reporting! I'll be looking forward to your Splinterlands (a.k.a. Steem Monsters) analysis. Although, I should point out that Drugwars is no longer a Steem Dapp, at least that's what it says in their StateoftheDapps profile page.
Thank you ๐ for your thoughtful comment. We just need a little bit of marketing work to get Steem in the top 30 imo.
I do know for drugwars but it got used thanks to The Steemians community.
I will see you for the Splinterlands update then ๐
Posted using Partiko iOS
You're welcome. Completely agree with the need for marketing. Yeah, you can expect me on your Splinterlands update. ๐
Such an interesting read thanks for putting this together, I still am a firm believer in the potential os STEEm and STEEMIT and see it growing to where it should be in the future
Thank you SNAX Superstar ๐

Lol trust me I am not a superstar at anything
So modest. Thank you for taking some time in your busy SuperStar's Schedule for me.
Lol
Probably more like 200 visits :P
300 visits!
๐๐๐ you are right. It was a minimum

Interesting list.
Sounds as if women are less interested in steem. Good to ask why. I wonder how the interest "others" is divided.
I wouldnโt say so, you have to remember that in any crypto community, women represent less than 20%. So we are one of the most ยซ feminine ยป community ๐

So you say this is not a social media but a community where everything is about (making) money?
This is also the main answer why so many left and there are so many dead accounts.
Posted using Partiko Android
I donโt really understand your reply. Steem is a Social media Crypto and Community.
I say it is one with the highest proportion of women. That is all.
