The SEO is the a good way to go about it, imagine searching and all you see first is steemit. Leaving that aside, we ask how selves how many people google about different things everyday? And it's likely that what they search about was blogged on steemit already.
Great idea. Good work you are doing out there.

Thank you, When I started to dig into the traffic that currently comes to steemit the other day it was like night and day why SEO should be my main focus when promoting steemit.

Great idea, do just that.

Excellent initiative, the more people know about steemit, the better the network will be. Successes.

Not many suplees around, I know a cook named Paul suplee former Marine. Any relation? Also great to see you throw your skill set behind marketing steem! I'm working on projects to figure out how we can get steem to do things beside blogs. Overtime we will all end up figuring out how to get this token noticed.

Don't believe so most of the fam is up in PA, NJ etc I just moved here to FL last month. Thank you for the support :)

One upvote for you sir!

Take the initiative. Steemit will grow as long as everyone in the community is on the same page. Let's make 2018 the year of Steemit!

Big ups from me,

2018 is the year for steemit! :D There is going to be a decent amount of competition coming out this year sites like Steemit but I have a strong feeling that Ed and others who help build this community and improve it will be here to stay.

I think you've got an insightful contribution here. Promoting steemit has to take a new turn. Good job.

This sounds like a great idea! I always was of the belief that even just showing a steemit article would be enough to pique one's interest.

I would be curious to see analytics of some of my posts too, I should go explore that.

But yeah I support this idea. Sounds like it would be tough to do though, there's a lot of competition. But the best part is it we aren't restricted to a set of keywords. We can write about anything.

One of the things that opened me up to this was I have been doing Facebook posts of my articles I write on here and while it gains some traction it is nothing compared to the few articles I wrote so far where I picked out a keyword or two and went for it. Those posts have now ended up with thousands of visitors. Might be a good way to get some more followers who knows :D

That would be really interesting if we all focused in on a few keyword articles to target with SEO.

I had no idea we got that much traffic in from searches like that, but I will mention the other day when I was googling something (damn don't remember what) a Steemit article was the fifth choice on Google for a simple question I had!

Right! Steemit has a lot going for it many articles rank right up there in search results so with a little effort we should be able to get articles for steem on just about every popular keyword that is searched.

I totally agree with you that SEO optimisation is the way to go. I am totally new to steemit, but I can already see tons of posts of very little value, because some (read many) would just like to earn money. In the long run that's not going to work.
I have found very nice post yesterday, that "visually" supports your idea: https://steemit.com/dmania/@donnaincancun/steemit-success-tip-of-the-iceberg-baby-zg1hbmlh-jx8er

This is true however search engines do a pretty good job at filtering that junk out anymore. The very informative, fun, interactive pages are the ones that will rank. One big factor they now look at is time spent on site so if you can create a highly valued and interesting article to read your going to be in the winners spot if you do the rest of your SEO correctly

O super, I didn't know that time spent on site also matters, thanks. So, engaging, fun, interesting matterial is way to go and of course SEO optimised contents...

Quite interesting @bitcoinflood, always appreciate going beyond retrofitting SEO. How do you view this best utilized by new communities that are being built on Steem/Steemit platform?

Will have to wait and see how the communities look when they are launched. Ill be curious if it turns into just a massive spam fest or actually be used for good.

Exactly, communities will not flourish with massive spam fest and must have aggregated quality content. Such is one of many challenges.

Thanks for this article but what will be the outcome if we do soo ?.

Hi, I understand very little English, I make my effort, but good idea, I will follow you!

Great post man very informative and interesting.....

Amazing °!!upvote you!!

Thank you so much for posting this article! The thought had not occurred to me to apply SEO to steemit. I still believe I need to drastically improve on my writing skills, but it's most important to reach the community, and SEO is a wonderful way to achieve reach with the right keywords. I'll be following you @bitcoinflood
