Not the most rewarded

... the ones that had the most eyeballs on content

BACKGROUND

A conversation with @acidyo made me interested in the subject of VIEWS
... It's obvious that actual interaction and comments is likely more important.
... However VIEWS is also really important and should be rewarded.

I think it's pretty obvious that the vast majority of Steem users post content and never promote it outside of STEEM. However some people post on twitter/reddit/FB and their content is viewed way more than a typical Steem user. However because of the lack of guest commenting tools or non-blockchain like/thumbs-up it's hard for those non-steem users to leave their mark of interaction.

SOME ANALYTICS ON MY ACCOUNT

For my main account @jarvie I was interested in which were my most viewed posts... every single one of them is one I either posted on my Facebook feed OR some of the baseball ones were ones that I posted on the r/padres reddit page.

ALL VIEWS	UNIQUE VIEWERS

This shows that a lot of my views for /@jarvie (aka my home page) are likely me if you compare the left column to the right.

The number of views are actually pretty high compared to most "popular" steemians ... that's because I actually promoted at least to my friends on FB.

BIG NUMBERS

However all our numbers PAIL in comparison to some users who seem to get THOUSANDS of views on really random and obscure stuff.

All of these posts have over a thousand views just on SteemPeak

UNIQUE IDEA

My wild idea: Maybe a user who gets over 10k or maybe even just 1k views on a post should have an option to turn on ads for that post... maybe that will give them incentive to actually promote their posts.

ASK FOR YOUR MOST VIEWED POSTS

I'm happy to leave the analytics site open for a few days and if you request I'll share your most viewed posts.

But i'm also interested to know what you make of it all. Is there importance in VIEW count in addition to reward metrics and engagement metrics?

We used to have that on the steemit.com domain, sort of. It was possible to fake the headers to gather stats. Of course, in doing so, it would increment the counter on each page, each time you ran the report. Oops.

I've never looked at my viewed numbers, so I haveno idea about that.
I was trying to promote my steem content on my FB page for a while, but I didn't seem to get any interaction on it. I don't know if FB was hiding those posts, or if it was just that nobody cared about them.

If it's not too much trouble, could I get a copy of my view analytics?

We haven't decided how we want to handle that. Also i'm doing this for a lot of people so it makes it more sensitive and i didn't want to do the work of asking each person if they're ok with it etc before we had a policy for it.

Oh i meant to write that with this account... anyway for example your top viewed post #4 is 17 unique viewers but your feed is 417 unique pageviews. I don't fully understand "unique pageviews" vs "pageviews" and seeing that it's regarding your feed i'm guessing most of that is you?

Ef I understand correctly - Page-Views is everytime there's a visit to the page, even by the same peason. Unique Page-Views, on the other hand, will only count any individual person once.

So, 10 people seeing my blog, refreshing the page 3 times & seeing it again, will count as 30 page-views - but only 10 unique page-views.

Very interesting!
I feel concerned as I posted two weeks ago a tutorial, that didnt concern many people here. But I cross-posted it on reddit where it went "viral", and because reddit do not handle gif well and has shitty markdown compared to SteemPeak, some people had render issues and I redirected then to my SteemPeak post.
So I would not be surprised that even if it has few votes, it had lot more external visitors.
You can see both posts here : https://biglink.to/ctm7

But I don't feel like advertising high viewed posts would be a great idea, atleast for me, as I don't really like this revenue way.

Anyway, thank you for this post :)

Yep it was viewed a decent amount it seems.

TAKE AWAY FOR EVERYONE ELSE

If a post is viewed more than your profile page and other administrative pages that means more outside people probably view your content than you do personally.
