Today Steemit has reached a new milestone as it has entered the top 20,000 websites in the world according to Alexa.com. Alexa.com measures the traffic stats of millions of websites and publishes a daily list according to a three month average.
As you can see from the picture above it has taken steem only about three months to go from a sub 1,000,000 website to an under 20,000 website! Actually the picture shows that it has rises for 3,251,603 places in the last three months! The lower your number is the more traffic the site gets. Number one is currently Google.com.
Here is a breakdown of the top countries:
This picture shows that more then 15% of all visitors comes from the US, with Russia second and Germany third. Three of the biggest powerhouses of economy so I think that this is a great sign for the future of Steemit. What you can also see above is some very impressive numbers in regards to pageviews and time spent on site. Just to give you an example, Reddit has 9.38 pageviews per visitor and 15:08 minutes spent on site. Both of those numbers are lower then Steem's numbers! Of course you have to factor in that Reddit gets millions of visitors and some just come on site and leave but still, this is a very impressive result that Steemit has done in just 3 months!
So I went deeper to see if I can find more info on how Steemit is progressing and I found this:
As you can see Steemit is growing even on a daily scale! On a 1 month basis it is already ranked on 8397 and the smaller the scale higher up it goes! If you check the one week range Steemit has grown to number 7737 and if you take a one day range that number goes to 6257!
What this means is if Steemit can keep this up, it will be a top 5,000 website (if you check the one day range) probably in a week or less which is something I didn't think was possible so soon! It also means that the website is gaining popularity on a daily basis! So congratulations to @dan @ned @dantheman and every one else in the Steem team! As for everyone who is reading this post, make sure to share your Steemit links across social media to give the whole site an even bigger boost.
This is just one milestone, but I have a feeling that there will be plenty more of them in the future!
EDIT: What would you do to improve these stats? How would you get more visitors/investors to Steemit? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comment section below ;)
