Hello everyone,

in this post, we're revealing an exiting new update at Smartsteem.com.

But before we get into the update - let us first give you a small summary/introduction about our two promotion services.

<h1>Smartsteem.com - Advertisement  & Promotion on Steem</h1>

We are currently offering two ways for users to promote their posts:

1.) Through our advertisement-market (@smartmarket), where over 5500 Steemians are offering their Steempower for promotion purposes in form of votes. These votes can be bought either directly via a transfer to @smartmarket or through our website: <a href="https://smartsteem.com/buy">Smartsteem.com/buy</a>

2.) With our own account, @smartsteem, that votes every 2.4 hours on posts. For this, we are using the bid-vote model, where users are bidding for a share of a full 100% vote. Bids can be made either directly via a transfer to @smartsteem or through our website: <a href="https://smartsteem.com/bid">Smartsteem.com/bid</a>

Now, <a href="https://steemit.com/steem/@smartsteem/important-update-for-smartsteem-com-roi-and-author-payout-calculation">we recently improved</a> the look and feel of promotion via @smartmarket at Smartsteem.com in addition with an update to our ROI-calculation to make sure, that our customers are always getting what they're paying for!

While this update was very well received, we knew that bid-voting via @smartsteem needed some love and improvements as well. Until now, it was only possible to check and monitor the bid-rounds with steembottracker.com. 

We believe that Smartsteem.com shouldn't have to utilize other websites, so that's why we've implemented this update on our website:

<h1>Bidding on Smartsteem.com</h1>

You're now able to bid directly through Smartsteem.com for a share of @smartsteem's vote.

When you go to <a href="https://smartsteem.com/bid">Smartsteem.com/bid</a> you're greeted with an interface similar to the image above.

Within this interface, you're able to see all the most important info about bidding with @smartsteem, which are also automatically updated every ~15 seconds.

- How much SBD & STEEM has already been used for bidding in this round - converted to USD. `Example: 209.78 USD` 
- How much @smartsteem's vote is worth in USD, including the 25% subtraction of curation. `Example: 230.71 USD`
- The ROI for the current bid-round. `Example:  9.98% ROI`
- The current and previous bids.
- Status about the previous bids. Check-mark for successful votes and a question-mark for a bid, which post hasn't reached 30 minutes post-age yet.
