...without spending a penny!

Follow steemchain on twitter. Even if your twitter is inactive. Like steemit on facebook. Even if you rarely visit facebook anymore. Subscribe to steemit reddit channel. Even if you need to open a reddit account just to do it. Resteem this post so more people do the same.

Why will this boost the steem value?

Coingecko comes up pretty high in search rankings for crypto price charts and they rank the different currencies on a number of currencies. Given their current criteria, steem actually scores really bad for, of all things, community! So despite SBD coming in number 5 and STEEM coming in at number 6 for developer, we are actually punching way below our weight for community! This is in part because coingecko base that score on facebook likes, twitter followers and reddit subscribers.

Other coin sites and exchanges probably rank based on similar criteria. Improving our rankings in this regard will increase interest in STEEM from investors.

This currently poor score can in part be rectified if as many of us as possible like the relevant pages. Annoyingly the twitter one is @steemchain and not @steemit because we'd jump from 1000 to 11000 followers instantly!

What more could we do?

Some of the stats present for SBD seem to missing and show 0 for STEEM.

Our Public interest ranking is also lower than it should be. In part because coingecko are using the visitor stats for steem.io rather than those of steemit.com .

Lobby coingecko?

We could lobby coingecko to use better stats for their rankings.

It would be better if they used the alexa ranking of steemit.com instead of steem.io It would be better if they used the twitter followers of @steemit rather than @steemchain. Most importantly they should be using the same community stats for STEEM as SBD.

That latter suggestion might require a dialogue between @steemit and coingecko as to why the stats are broken before the community intervenes however...
