Analysis Taken from Similar Web for Steemit, Twitter, and Pinterest.
According to our metrics that I shared in April the Steemit performance breakdown has improved dramatically in almost every metric.
Visitors are up.
Time on site is the same.
Page Views are down marginally.
Bounce Rate is up but barely.
These are all very good signs for the Steemit platform.
Where is the Steemit Traffic Coming From?
USA traffic has dropped as a percentage of the total amount by over 3% since April. This is a trend that I think is very positive for the platform as Steemit picks up steam internationally.
Steemit Traffic Sources.
Social has really broken out since our last update. Search has dropped which really requires specific actions like formatting posts, tagging properly and search engine optimization of your blog posts. I like to remind the community that our success greatly depends on the traffic that the site brings via search and social media. This is where we as a community can really help out. What can you do?
Format your articles to help the search engines index posts easier.
Properly title your posts. Short and too the point is best with a key word or two mixed in.
Use your allocated 5 tags properly.
Share your content to as many social media sites as possible.
Comment on other users content.
Follow other users.
What are the Top Referral Sites.
Steemit Social Media Traffic.
Facebook dominance is declining for our social media traffic. For some reason sharing Steemit links on Facebook with a image preview is proving difficult. Twitter traffic continues to do well and I once again want to thank the development team for giving us Large Image Previews on Twitter. I think this change has helped us gain an edge. The Youtube traffic is truly impressive, keep up the great work all you video creators!
Top Keywords for Steemit in Search.
Growth of the @Steemit Twitter Account Over Time.
Back in April I was asked by the team to attempt an experiment. We stopped automatically retweeting which has greatly reduced our impressions but even though we stopped this our clicks to Steemit continue to rise. We have also seen an increase in the amount of accounts following us. If the team decides to resume the retweets I can begin immediately.

Top Pin on Steemit Pinterest by @steemitjorya with 24 Clicks.
This Steemit user has not been active for two months. This proves the power of social media and imagery. 5 months after posting this image the traffic has begun to arrive. Make sure to SEO and add images to your posts. It helps to use cute images!
Thank you everyone for doing such a great job. Continue to improve how you format and SEO your posts and I promise that our share of internet traffic will continue to rise.
FLIPPIN AWESOME..!! Stephen

Great traffic coming from the USA. It seems like Europe is except Spain, Germany and the Netherlands low traffic, and should be our next Steemit advertising campaing. Many creative people in the Europe. Great content creators, and the payrolls are low. Facebook ads are just milking money from Europeans. Thanks for sharing.

Your post suggests to me that by staying active on other social media sites, we can link good steemit posts to those communities as well. If someone were to use their big facebook/twitter accounts, steemit posts could truly go viral. :)

Sorry if this is silly but not getting the destination sites. The referral sites i guess is people going to steem via those sites and destination sites is where they click on after visiting steem. If this is the case im not sure why that would be worthwhile collating destination sites.

One conclusion from this is that you should post during North American "prime time".
That would mean somewhere between 7-9 pm (US Eastern Time)
From the data we can tell that the US and Canada contribute for a total of 35% even though the international traffic is increasing its total share.

Great post and very helpful. I am trying to SEO my posts a lot more now but since I don't use Facebook or Twitter I can't really drive too much traffic to my posts other than the followers I already have here on Steemit. As an aside, as an expat, what do you think of buying in Belize? Looking to retire early and spend half the year in the US and half down below or near the equator. My goal/dream is to buy a Catamaran and live off of that most of the time sith a small permanent home in two locations, one in NY or another NE coastal state like Maine and the other in either Belize, the Bahamas or perhaps Panama. I like places that allow me to own property without too much trouble and where the USD can be used and banking is not very difficult. I have visited many expat websites but get a lot of gery different opinions all from personal opinion and subjective experience. But I figured why not ask someone who is already doing it. Maybe I can even do some charter trips once I get set up and generate some extra income on top of my savings, IRA's and all that jazz. #silver 😉✌️🇺🇸🌏

the best way to promote steemit is through the word of mouth though. Tell people that they can actually make "money" by posting images, videos, and articles much like Facebook will definitely create curiosity and interests.
So far, I've might to convince my wife to publish her psychiatry articles on Steemit which might benefit the community. Then again, the tradeoff of time and money is a considerable factor before anyone invest their efforts on the platform.
