[Alexa](https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/steemit.com) is a traffic monitoring website where you can find various information about any website and recently Steemit has been gaining a lot of recognition on it. When I first joined more than 5 months ago steemit was ranked as 100 000 th website in the world. 

<h3>Fast forward to today and we are ranked as 1952 in the world!!</h3>

<h4>Every well written and correctly tagged post is increasing Steemit's value and making us rank higher in the browsers. Also every backlink we get is helping us greatly. And we are getting more of them every day.</h4>

<br>
That's the beauty of steemit and the thing I like the most about it. Each and every one of us is bringing some value to the platform and increasing it's value. Not only by buying STEEM/SBD but by writing good blogs which brings traffic to Steemit. By writing good blogs and providing valuable content you actually help us rank higher on Google. 

<h4>That's why I would like to encourage you to write good posts about any topic you may think of and tag it accordingly  because it will eventually raise the value of our platform.</h4>
<h3>
Demographics </h3>

By Alexa most of our users are from the US with 38.1% which wasn't a surprise, next we got South Korea with 8.2%, UK with 6.1%, Germany with 3.9% and finally india with 3.9%.

I feel like Alexa is missing some data on this because I know as a fact that we got a lot of users from Venezuela, Nepal, Nigeria, Slovenia and many more  countries that aren't showing on this demographics list.

<h3>Search Traffic</h3>

<div class="pull-left">https://steemitimages.com/DQmcPR7tP438xmguhPbRbMk62NiJqFrkAam8uakxBXQuC4D/image.png</div>Almost 30% of the traffic came directly from browser searches for Steemit which I think is a healthy amount but should increase in the future.

<h3>What sites are users on beforegoing to steemit?</h3>
<br>

<div class="pull-left">https://steemitimages.com/DQmbKxN8V2nXc8U9b3J1XUq8pwjMPbn6sZc8toVpc6VAiYr/image.png</div> As you can see we are getting most of the traffic from google and facebook. But we can't neglect Youtube and Reddit. I think this is where we will get most new users from.

<h3>[Dtube](https://d.tube/)</h3>

Is a project by a genius known as @heimindanger  that is a big slap in the face for Youtube that has been censoring it's users through demonetization of their videos. [Dtube](https://d.tube/) provides a perfect replacement for Youtubes opression as it is decentralized and on a blockchain meaning you will never be censored as every publication will stay on the blockchain forever.

[Dtube](https://d.tube/) also support's it's contributors with massive upvotes so if you have quality content to offer think about making a submission. It could be anything but it must provide value to the community. Again, don't think about abusing because you will get  nowhere.

<h3>[Dmania](https://steemit.com/@dmania)</h3>

Also based on the steem blockchain [Dmania](https://steemit.com/@dmania) is a place to share your dank memes and get rewarded for it. But please don't repost other's memes.

*  Or linking good and relevant posts to Reddit is a great thing you can do. But don't, by no means spam them just to promote steemit and only use them in situations when they are needed to answer a question  or provide value to Reddit's users.
