### Thanks to ALL of you, Steemit is growing fast!

https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://s2.postimg.org/sad81bt2x/Steem_Big_Data.jpg

### We reached 48.5 mn (+41%) visits in January ALONE!

**There is an important difference between total visitors to a site and unique ones. In this case the 48.5mn 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 13,28mn !**

This is useful to know how people use the Steem platform. Initiatives like 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.

### **II] Marketing Mix**

**Organic Search is once again improving and represents 52,4% of the incoming Traffic.** This is an increase of 1point compared to December.
**Organic search is when people research on Google. As the number of quality bloggers on Steemit increase, our content has a higher probability of being listed in Google's Top results.**

### III] Steemit website metrics

https://s17.postimg.org/nnedmtd1r/image.png

### 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 January assumptions
* Total visits to Steemit.com: 48,45mn
* Assumption of Total unique visitors in January: 13,28mn
* Assumption of Total Daily unique visitors: 800-900k

### This is a collective achievement and I would like to congratulate all of us!
