I recently realised that Steemit has a lot of SEO juice. If this is true, then I may have been leaving money on the table this whole time. I also now understand why some online marketing folk loved this platform so much. I'd often wondered why someone would buy votes, or market their posts in memos. I get it now. It wasn't really for the Steem rewards alone, which they probably just broke even on. They were doing it for the juice. The Google juice.
What good is Google juice? Oh, my, that's big money. You could making a killing in affiliate marketing. You could create a sales funnel to sell other stuff. Actually, now in retrospect, that's probably the most popular one those online marketers used it for.
I wonder, does Steemit still have the juice it once did? The Alexa rankings have plummeted pretty badly. I'm sure Google considers the authority of the site when ranking.
Other sites with ridiculous juice are; YouTube, Amazon, eBay, LinkedIn, Instagram and of course FaceBook. I feel FaceBook used to have a lot more clout in Google Search results. I can't help but think they've been actively suppressed over the years due to the Google - FaceBook power struggle.
Anyway, you know me, I'm all about the experiments. I'm going to test this SEO thing. I'm going to try and rank an article in Google by next week and see what happens. If it works, man, I'm going to make some money off this baby.
Peace & Love,

LOL.
Basically if you can get on page 1 on Google for a popular term, then you can get a LOT of traffic flowing to your site. The more traffic you have, the more you can do with it. It's like the difference between a shop located at a car park somewhere in the Nevada desert and one on the Las Vegas Strip (look at me with the local knowledge 😅)
Google's algorithm takes a lot into consideration when ranking pages. One is the age of the page, the and another is the "authority" of the site. It seems Steemit has a lot of authority, so articles on here tend to rank better than elsewhere.
An example of how I'd make money, would be to write an incredible article about "Humane mouse traps", and in the article I can have my affiliate link to the trap on Amazon. If you can get that article on Page 1 of Google, the sheer traffic alone will make you a lot of money from the clicks. If it's a very popular topic like weight loss or building muscle.. you're going to make tens of thousands of pounds (maybe even millions). This is why there are so much competition for these topics to the extent that people engage in dirty tricks to win. There's a lot of money in it.
My experiment, well, I'd pick a nice niche topic that I already know a lot about, and try to rank on Page 1. It wont be millions of views, but It'd be thousands.. and some of them may click my shiny links!
