Suppose we write an article on steemit that goes viral across the net. Do we get any credits for the pageviews or is it only the votes of members here that count?
Do we get credits for pageviews?

Steemit can run bots that will automatically vote for posts based upon pageviews (and other metrics to prevent abuse). Right now that process is manual. All I can say is that the most popular steemit article (on the Internet) also made to to the highest ranking payout. Steem voter's know that viral content is quality content and good for Steem so it is almost baked in.
If something goes viral those on Steem will know it and will likely vote for you as well. The probability of you posting something that "goes viral" but doesn't get votes is very low.

All rewards are issued by the blockchain. Pageviews happen on steemit.com, steem doesn't know about them, there's no way to connect the two.

You know, this is actually an interesting question. While it might not be possible to reward page views it might be possible to reward referrals and shares.

Everything happening over steemit.com is processed centrally on their servers. The blockchain runs independently. So if steemit would want to reward anything like that, they would have to pay that out of their own pocket.

Steemit could track page views with Google analytics, and perhaps factor that when they calculate Steem Power...

Then they'd have to trust centralized Google? Not worth it. I mean sure if that is the only possible way but there has to be some better idea.

There are other analytics packages other than Google's. And in steemit's hosting dashboard, there should be a count of pageviews as well. The reason it's easier to use an external analytics package is that they usually filter out all the bots and count only browser views.

Steem is independend from steemit. They have no influence over the blockchain, and steem can keep running even when steemit.com is long gone.

It would be great if a steemit bot auto-votes posts that match the +5% rule !!!
So everyday reward the Top 5% post's with most pageviews so if 1000 post's in existence auto-vote for the top 50
and we get our +5% meme back alive !!!!
Of course to prevent attackers include 1-2 more criteria like:

If Steemit is serious in crossing over into the bloggersphere pageviews need to factor heavily in the payouts/ ecosystem. People like to know how popular their content is (not just engaged readers but also passive ones), they would also expect the rewards to be commensurate to the amount of eyeballs they bring to the platform.
Even bloggers who are not driven by the financial rewards like to know what content they put out is attracting an audience, so they know where to focus their efforts. I dare say the data is also valuable data to the platform developers themselves.

Could it be possible for people to volunteer some stats about themselves, but have those stats encrypted the blockchain? That way creators can get that information without it tying back to any particular user.

Wow. How on earth did you get $572 from this post? On a side note, I'm trying to figure this out because I shared one of my pages on a fb page and have 100+ views but only two upvotes because most of my visitors are not steemit members. I'd love for them to all join, but that probably won't happen. I figure the page views don't count for anything, but I was looking around to see and found your post. Here's to you asking a question and getting paid lots for it! :)

This is an important question, and seems like data that could be recorded in the blockchain.
Looking at this post on Steemd.com, it shows the blockchain stores many variables each time an action occurs: voter, weight, rshares, pct, time. Would adding a variable for # of times the data is requested, and incrementing it once every request be possible?

It is not possible to log individual requests in the blockchain, requests are between two people and not something that is broadcast to all.
It is possible for Steemit.com to report stats, but nothing prevents Steemit or anyone else from making up stats. It is not auditable.

I see, not being auditable does create a problem. Thank you for the explanation.

This can be the breakthrough that steemit is aiming for... enticing the whole netverse to come to steemitdotcom by splitting any and all revenues generated through ads that can be attracted by the sheer volume of visitors to steemit pages, if and when they go viral, the ADVERTIZERS pay in whatever form of money they prefer to pay and the steemit team will share the pay to the contributors with steem. And I believe it will eventually come. If not here, on another fork. ^_^.

What do you think of having the ad money used to buy steem and create a buy side demand to increase the market cap? That way....everybody wins.
