agreed. The people who only focus on the value of a post by it's payout are shortsighted. :-)

Indeed, the search engine optimization that steemit offers is huge!... I for one have to study a lot more about SEO, but i have been amazed by all steemit posts showing up first on google search, there is a lot of value there, other than the payouts...

Thats how I got here. I kept Googling things that had the best answers on this odd looking steemit sight. Then when I saw Jerry Banfield start to shout at me in an add that I would normally ignore, I did a double take because it was the same new layout that had kept popping up in my Googling. I see a lot on here about how to help this site grow, but I believe this would be the most helpful. After all, it got me here and I generally dont participate in this sort of thing.

Yep, this have the potential to bring a lot of people that usually wont do traditional social media...

Steemit also has a lot of page authority with the search engines and it should only grow over time. I was going to see if I could find the post I read that talked about that but it was yours @cryptoctopus --- SEO Case Study - Domain Authority & Page Authority
