After spending several months on Steemit one starts to forget just how revolutionary it really is. Since it's inception in March 2016 over half a million accounts have been created at an average of 2,000 new accounts a day, 4,042,634 posts have been authored, and 16,611,869 comments have been made, making Steemit one of the most exciting and dynamic platforms growing on the internet.

Seeing the welcomed jump in both the price of STEEM and SBD in recent days I decided to take a look at the health of Steemit, and see how it might look like in 6 months or a year from now.

Drilling down into the data a bit further on SteemData reveals Steemit currently has around 32,000 active daily users posting just under 28,000 posts a day. Although these numbers are still quite small compared to Reddit and Twitter, they are still healthy for a platform not yet out of beta mode.

TRAFFIC

Since January web traffic to steemit.com has jumped significantly pushing it from about the 16,000th most visited site on the planet to just under the. Jumping a 103 places in just the last 3 months alone. In comparison reddit.com is 8th , twitter.com is 13th , and gab.ai is 19,795th

The growing success of Steemit over the last year has been entirely 100% organic. Just over 50% of the traffic comes from search results, with 29% from direct traffic, and 8.8% from social media, of which 33% comes from Facebook alone.

Interestingly next to nothing has been spent on advertisement or paid promotions, which is surely a great sign for the future of Steemit. Any digital platform that's had this amount of success so far without paying for promotion must be doing something right. Once Steemit is out of beta and they start to ramp up the publicity these numbers will without a doubt grow significantly.

AWARENESS

To understand the popularity of the platform I next to a look into some of the other statistics and trends happening online around Steem and Steemit. Looking at the Google Trends graph below we seeover the last several months and have never looked better. Another good sign more and more people are becoming aware of Steemit.

Looking at Steemit's official twitter account also reveals very healthy numbers. With an increase of over 40,000 followers in the last 6 months, averaging about 300 new followers a day, the popularity of the Steemit on Twitter seem set to continue.

THE FUTURE LOOKS BRIGHT

There we have it, although Steemit is still in it's infancy, the steady rise in traffic, current global positioning, and the recent price jump of STEEM and SBD has placed steemit.com in a very comfortable position. All in all the health and future of Steemit looks pretty promising.
