Steemit, the social media site that rewards content creators and curators for creating content and engaging on the site, is growing larger every day.
How Popular Is Steemit?
Alexa, the site that ranks websites by their popularity ranks Steemit as the 736th most popular site in the U.S. and 1,761 most popular site in the world. (as of Dec. 26th, 2017)
A site’s ranking is based on a combined measure of Unique Visitors and Pageviews. Unique Visitors are determined by the number of unique Alexa users who visit a site on a given day. Pageviews are the total number of Alexa user URL requests for a site. However, multiple requests for the same URL on the same day by the same user are counted as a single Pageview. The site with the highest combination of unique visitors and pageviews is ranked #1. credit
That is an impressive accomplishment for a sophomore site considering it doesn't advertise in the traditional sense. This growth is mostly from word of mouth, the best advertising you can get.
To put the sites' meteoric growth in perspective let's compare it with other popular sites that have huge marketing budgets.
Steemit outranks many popular sites
Steemit is more popular than...
)and Steemit is growing faster every day.
All this growth is happening organically and with very little advertising. I'm blown away at the potential of this social network to reach every corner of the globe and predict it's going to happen sooner than any of us realize.
In a week, give us another figurative graph about steemit (steem) gor to be better.
One cool thing now, nobody is complaining.
Steemit and other sites running steem are doing a good job.
Keep on steemit.

Wow! Two days ago was the first time I've heard about this incredible platform and here is my first post. No one of my friends knows it, however it seems to me that we are in the right place and the right time? Aren't we? :)

Appreciate the analysis. But I think a more reasonable comparable would be to show the traffic rankings of some burgeoning social media sites. While a comparison to legacy sites like facebook or reddit might not be fair, to show perspective based on a dying retailer (kmart) or mcdonalds.com probably isn't the best either. You want to use sites with similar use cases :)

It is amazing how fast Steemit is growing!! I am so happy that i get to be a part of it in such an early stage! We are all truly blessed to be here while it still is beta! . It blows my mind how many lives it is changing for the better! And how much potential it has! There’s a world of opportunities in here! I am surprised that not that many people know about it!! Even though it is such an amazing site.
I am sure it’s going to over grow facebook soon!

Resteemed because this is AWESOME! It's so exciting that the ~future~ that blockchain social represents is being adopted, in the form of our dear Steemit, in such magnitude.

Hehe, amazing perspective.
I consider this organic growth something to be cherished as well. I'm not sure it would be beneficial to the quality of this network if we opened the flood gates and brought people in en mass for the wrong reasons via ads on platforms with abysmal quality standards.
If we let steemit grow organically there will be a different focus than relentless mass adoption.
Kinda like that old hippie saying goes:
"You don't find it. It will find you when you're ready"

I like this idea of just letting Steemit do what it doe and evolve naturally. It will change as it grows as all things do. That's just the way of things, especially online.

I remember you telling me this on your patio 6 months ago, back when I didn't even know how to upload a photo. Now Steemit is significantly more popular!
My life has been changed forever thanks to Steemit. Take a peak at my blog my friend and you can see I'm not earning 25 cents per post anymore! Couldn't thank you enough brother! You really were the catalyst that got my ball rolling. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! -Dan

About to cross 750 followers, and I have a very nice shout out for you in my celebratory post along with the photo you took of us together with Donna and Mike on your patio. I see you moved to Cancun. They must have better tacos there! lol. Hope you're enjoying the holidays my friend. I'll be in touch. -Dan

Uhmm... I think it has reached every corner of the globe. I have left comments on people post from South Africa, Nigeria, India, China, Korea, Croatia, Russia, England, France, Spain, Bali, Netherlands, Germany, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Mexico, Panama, Philippines, USA, Canada, and a few others, pretty much every corner of the globe. I think there is even someone that post or posted from Antarctica, and I am pretty sure there are a few people from Greenland. Lots and Lots of Places, and I just love seeing their countries through their eyes, the pictures, the stories, the people, truly a breath of fresh air being steemed through the atmosphere.

This is still very undervalued, steemit should be the most popular site in the world, there is nothing like it out there... And i am pretty sure it will be the most popular website soon or later... Site development been a bit slow honestly, but this have so much great potential...

It is undervalued. It's given so much more than Facebook ever did. At $3 a Steem it's still a bargain and I think it will go higher.

Steem should go up at least >10$, and that is just in the short term... The thing is steemit is higly misunderstood, simply because general public does not understand blockchain at all... Most of people i invite to steemit hesitate because they thing this is some kind of referal program, ponzy scheme or whatever, it is kind of hard to explain people what steemit.com is about because there is nothing out there to compare, and i think that happen to any revolutionary idea that represents a paradigm shift...

The same thing happened with the internet and look at us now. I remember explaining to friends about websites and they just thought it was some kind of brochure. When email started I remember people wondering why you would want to send an email when you can just write them a letter. When is the last time you sent someone a letter?
When Steem does hit >10 we'll all be glad for all those .283 Steem rewards we earned from a comment on someone's blog which suddenly becomes $2.83 or more.

Yeah, Steemit is getting popular. People who are into crypto currencies are interested in joining but we have strict sign up policies now.
Many writers are writing seo friendly articles which are getting ranked on Google which results is traffic.

i have been posting to Steemit, but not finding a lot of viewers, and finding a lot of Bots.
If the bots take over, I would have to be moving on. I hope not, I kind of like Steemit.
