In fact SBD is ranked number 1, STEEM is ranked number 2 and BitCoin is now pushed into third place. And all thanks to my email to them suggesting they monitor the Alexa ranking for steemit.com rather than steem.io!
We should notice a further upwards change in STEEMs ranking for 'Community' over the next day or two as the twitter data corrects to point to the much more popular @steemit, rather than @steemchain, and STEEMs missing community data is updated to match SBD.
Has STEEM been undervalued due to rankings such as this looking at the wrong twitter and alexa data? Quite possibly. Here is hoping this gives the STEEM value a little boost...
VERY SMART suggestion outstanding work!

Yes thank you @demotruk for inspiring me to share this in the next Steem secret post I make because I did change my mind on this after about a month of trying it both ways with no self upvotes and before that a lot of self upvotes!

Thanks. Coingecko don't get quite the visitors of say coinmarketcap, but they do have a greater variety of metrics, and their popularity is on the rise, so it seemed worth getting them to use more favourable stats for us, especially since their existing ones were poor measurements of our community strength.

What website is being used to measure Bitcoin public interest?
Edit: Seems it's using bitcoin.org. If Steem gets to use Steemit.com, then Bitcoin should get to use Bitcointalk.org. That would put Bitcoin back on top, although steemit.com is rapidly catching up on Bitcointalk traffic.
Edit2: As far as I can tell Steemit.com is vastly ahead of the communication hubs of any altcoin, Bitcoin is the only one ahead of it.

This is true. But given they seem to lack the social media data for STEEM at the moment, I'm not going to be the one to complain. :)

Is that for the "community" metric?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Yes. Currently it is based on reddit, facebook and twitter. SBD has the data but STEEM doesn't, although it should update in a day or two. I also persuaded them to change the twitter data to use the @steemit twitter instead of @steemchain. That will boost the community rankings. Perhaps one day we will be big enough that they will use steem tags to measure all cryptos community rankings... ;)

It seems like our own social network works against us there. Steemit.com activity and traffic massively outdoes the reddit traffic on all other cryptos including Bitcoin, but there isn't much Reddit.com/r/steemit traffic for obvious reasons (why post there when you can post here and get payouts..?).
Facebook and Twitter stats could be seriously improved.

Indeed. I had been thinking the same thing. However we have to recognise that bitcoin and ethereum are popular tags on steemit. It would be nice if having a steem tag was one of the 'Community' metrics measured. Perhaps number of posts in past 24hrs or week? CoinGecko would need some easy way of getting the stats they need that way. If we have more bitcoin posts per day than facebook, they should be using us anyway.

Bitcointalk has 1.2 million posts in the Bitcoin forum, and 0.9 million in the altcoin forum, making it even more complex (it is really a crypto forum, not just Bitcoin, and Steemit is more than just Steem as well).
In fact, the Bitcointalk forum with the most posts by far is Altcoins - Announcements with over 4.3 million posts.
This is the problem with complex metrics. People rightly criticize Market Cap for being a simplistic way to measure the competitive position of a cryptocurrency, but when you try and make more complex metrics, you end up diving deeper into the nuances of the problems with each part of the metric. A collection of simple metrics is preferable to complex aggregate metrics that inevitably end up reflecting favoritism or are still just easily gamed.

Probably because those that buy it, buy it directly from an exchange without bothering to look at the website. They probably read about on bitcointalk and steem posts, and it also has a good community score. Bing search results are good, but it has a poor alexa ranking for https://getmonero.org

A lot of that is investors moving into BTC because of the fear of missing out. Once all the potential segwit fork dates have passed we'll see a lot of movement back into 'altcoins'. We may have to HODL a bit longer.
But when the time comes, the increased ranking of STEEM will pay off.

That would be awesome if we get to ride some of this Bitcoin wave with real data in the mix. But will STEEM still be a viable platform in years to come? I think we need to make a spot for videos and increase hosting capacity and even create apps so we can absorb all the YouTubers who are being censored and make it so we csn bring Steemit to TV's.. Combining crypto with vlogs would most definitely be mashing together two very in demand pieces of tech that, I think, would make STEEM go 🌙 and steal some serious thunder from the monopolized chains of Google, Facebook and Twitter. The internet needs an alternative and I think we have the model right here if we could get more servers to host the amount of video required to pull from YouTube. Maybe we can set up at home servers and use a VPN and proxy service to support it and keep it within the community. Could it be done? We need a place for free speech and with upvoting and flagging users would be able to make money for content and not have to be politically correct all the time. Decentralized currency and decentralized area of ideas and speech. The world is Steemit.

I doubt spambots are registered as alexa users. Alexa base their rankings on a sample of users that have signed up to share their browsing habits with them. Obviously this is like opinion polling and will have a margin of error, but it is a pretty good guide. It doesn't surprise me that steemit.com has more visitors than the bitcoin website.
