Steemit Statistics & Big Data: 🚀 End of December 2018 Update 🚀
### Thanks to ALL of you, Steemit is alive!

**We reached 11.93 mn visits in December!**

There is an important difference between total visitors to a site and unique ones. In this case the 11.93mn 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 6,85mn !

### 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/visits…
- I use these raw datas to make excels tables, graphs…

### I] Traffic

## Daily Steemit Traffic

**In January, 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. Let’s hope it is just a little setback**
Another, explanation could be that people spend more time on apps (Partiko, Steepshot, Dtube, eSteem…) which are not accounted in this analysis.

**Steemit website is ranked 4,119 worldwide**
**Steemit is ranked 2,854 in the US**
Steemit kept on deteriorating its ranking as it ranked 1400+ last year.

**Google Trend is an Indice based on 100, which means that 100 represents the week when most people searched for "Steemit" on Google.**

### Steemit Traffic share by country

## In the Top 5, the strongest traffic decline came from Venezuela with -24.75% visits!

### Mobile Traffic is stable compared to last month as it represents 45.47% of the total

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-io… 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.

### III] Steemit website metrics

![](https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://i.postimg.cc/kgcJg0CT/14.jpg)

### 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 December assumptions

- Total visits to Steemit.com: 11,93mn
- Assumption of Total unique visitors in December: 6.3-7mn
- Total Daily visitors: 300-400k
- Assumption of Total Daily Unique visitors: 225-275k

### 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.
