I thought it would be cool to revisit something that few people pay attention to:
How well does an article written on steemit.com ranks on the search engines?
Let's jump into it and look at the data shall we?
The Authority of Steemit.com
Here are 2 basic set of data to tell us how "authoritative" steemit.com is on the search engine:
The job of Alexa is to rank websites by the amount of visitors it gets. The search engines take that into account. I wouldn't be surprised next year to attain the top 500 when the roll out of community happen.
I've been keeping an eye on the MOZ metric for more than a year and Steemit.com domain authority keeps moving up.
What does it mean for you? What does it mean for steemit.com?
It means that when you publish an article, your article as a higher chance to get visibility on the search engine than if you wrote on your own website. For anyone who's a niche blogger, just blogging here gives you an edge over the competition...EVEN if you don't make money on your articles with upvote rewards.
So now that we know that our articles are so much easier to rank, how do we get Dofollow links to external websites?
Do-Follow Links
Do-Follow Links are really valuable, especially from a website like ours. So are all the links on steemit.com Do-Follow? Nope! Too bad for those link spammers who would like to suck all the SEO juice out of steemit.com
Steemit Inc was smart and they made a rule that for the article to have do-follow links enabled it has to have a certain amount of vote weight behind it. Something around $10 of value last time I checked. (don't quote me on the exact number)
So if some smarty-pants wanted to get Do-Follow links he would either have to buy 50,000 STEEMPOWER to upvote his own post OR actually write that the community want to read about and upvote for.
Conclusion
Steemit.com seems to have a lot of long-form content. Not only that, we have a crazy level of engagement with a lot of comments (which adds to the length of the post).
This is the amount of new post created every day on steemit.com
All of those articles have a chance of ranking on the search engine for different keywords. The more of them ranks, the higher the numbers of visitors to the website we get. (# of visitors to the website is definitely picking up in the last month). This all creates a virtuous cycle of added reach.
No other cryptocurrency has something like it powering it's influence across niches and interests. This is why, in my opinion, I have no doubt that in the 3-5 years ahead of us, with more websites being built on top of steem with similar success, that we could have in aggregate the biggest social media hub in the world...$100 per STEEM is not a pipe-dream at this point.
Steem offers things that other platforms and social media lag. The way we interact with one another here , it is more educational . I gotta day ,it was the best decision joining 6 months ago . Steem has a lot of potential and I can see the $5 mark of Steem coming soon

Why not more? Steem is extremely undervalued. It should be hitting 6$ only by following bitcoin's price action.

Is there a party planned for the one million user milestone? Technology grows exponentially and Steem grew to 500,000 users to date. That is approximately 21 months since Steemit was launched in March 2016. The Wikipedia article claims there were 170,000 users as of May, 2017
170,000 users in first 14 months.
330,000 users in last 7 months.
We should see approximately 650,000 new users in the next 3 months if this pattern continues.

I have always wanted to say I am a writer, but other platforms make it so difficult for writers to be themselves and still make good money.

$100 per STEEM is a good figure, I am not a pessimist but, seeing what is happening in the cryptocurrency world that number could be extremely lower or higher depending on the success of Bitcoin, I keep telling people that Bitcoin does not just represent the first cryptocurrency, it is representing all cryptocurrencies in the world, what I mean is, all altcoins are eating out of the glory of Bitcoin for now, if bitcoin crashes or anything smears it's name not almost, all altcoins will suffer the consequences no matter their utility, applications or use case scenarios, with that in mind I will give it a 0 - 200 dollars per steem, in that time frame.

@cryptoctopus I agree with you on 100% but STEEM prices should have doubled when bitcoin doubled.

My only question is why is sbd getting pumped and steem is not?

bitcoin and alt coin prices are not linked very well.
Right now it appears that money flows into bitcoin, then it flows out into other coins.
One of the bitcoins will make it to $1,000,000 a coin in a couple years. Everything else will lag behind.
There are several articles on why the pump in SBD. My favorite is that someone is using it to be cheaper steem. As it is actually pretty easy to move the SBD market.

"$100 per STEEM is not a pipe-dream at this point."
One can only wish... If Steemit comes to be this platform with the vision you describe (and SMTs being a success) then yes, I see this happen. But honestly it's only speculation as of now, even though the Steem blockchain has a headstart with its current utility. Once EOS comes around competition could quickly take over...

I am more bullish...I think in 12 months we will see $100 STEEM. There are too many forces that are pushing this ahead.
That said, I love this post. It is something that few, including myself, think about. We need more comments on this site for the exact reason you mentioned, comments add to the length of the article.
Google is still the big elephant in the room and its rankings still run the internet. It is wonderful to see Steemit move up. As the site ranks higher, the value of each post carries a better ranking. Hence articles written 6 months ago will start to generate traffic. For this reason, each of us needs to be aware of what we are posting and the "face" we are presenting for steemit.

I can't understand your logic of upvote amount and do follow link. Can you please elaborate ??
Btw as per your research, steem domain has gotten an amazing domain authority as well as page authority. If 10$ amount is the gateway to get do follow link, then it can be easily achievable.
I will start my own research now in this. Do follow links are worth more than 10$. We can earn handsome amount of money just by selling do follow links here.

The best thing about Steem and SEO is that steem encourages good practices. In order to be ranked here you have to generate value to others. Spammy practices and b.s. SEO tricks won't get the desired results but they might get you flagged.

In the long run I think this will make Steemit THE place to be ranked.

Some of this can be attributed to the fact that many of the main stream media outlets have simply eliminated comments altogether.

Cool stuff. Found this article on Reddit. I just did a post along the lines of this same subject. What I wasn't aware of is the vote and $ backing required for that do follow link. Thanks for sharing. :)

The D.A and P.A ranks are quite amazing well that's on the seo point of view so should lead to get more organic reach from the search engines with time which is great.
On the other hand the prices too seem to be justifying it completely its great to see this system as an whole :)

I first ran into steem through a duck duck go search about some crypto I was looking into. It took a while after that, but the seed was planted, and I was curious as to what this site was all about.
I'm glad I decided to come hang out!

Interesting article still the rule (another one) that for Do Follow Links articles for being enabled it has to have the vote weight behind it, I mean 50 000 Steem Power is something which is again not in favour of Minnows but Whales.
