I'm pretty sure its being drug down by Bitcoin's problems not just crap posts. Google doesn't just see Steemit as one big website. It can see that there is individual users. When you look at your address bar you can see that Steemit.com is highlighted and the rest is kind of grey or dull. Now I agree I have followed a couple people I regret following but unless they have some bored friends they will not be rewarded for their crap posts.

@joeyknowsbest is right. The ENTIRE cryptocurrency market is down. Bitcoin is the back bone of all of it all. Most people used bitcoin to buy the other cryptocurrencies. If Bitcoin has problems all other cryptocurrencies are going to suffer. Right now Bitcoin is about to go through a change.
-- so what makes Steem success is only the other cryptocurrencies market value? --
Steem is affected by bitcoin. I don't think steems success depends entirely on bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies. It is a young market so the altcoins are definitely affected by bitcoin.
correct - it is affected.
but is Bitcoin price the only factor? No. So What are the other factors?
Steemit.com is doing quite well.
Do you know how many visitors is currently getting Steemit.com from Google?
about 100 000 month . the average website with the same number of articles is getting 1 million visitors per month
:-) it will do better when we all pay more attention on how much text we write on posts and how we write the titles of the pages
it will do even better when most of us will stop posting spam or duplicate content.
Agreed. Don't post crap and copy and paste existing content. Keep it real and as good a content as you possibly can
Thanks for the advice.
Exactly. Right now sadly the price of Steem is tied to the overall market. Steemit on the other hand is doing good despite the price of Steem going down. People have confidence in the future of the entire platform or they would just leave now. I don't think anyone is saying article quality is unimportant. Have a good day.
things are not all good as you pretend. problems exists keeping eyes close will not solve it.
SteemIT is different and cannot be compared to any other cryptocurrency ... the Steem Value is not depreciating only because the market is down.
Steem is what it is.. a new kind of social and blogging platform... Steem value can be up even when the other cryptocurrencies are failing..
I wish it was as you say.
The address bar cannot be taken into consideration for Search Engine Optimization Analysis.
what matters is the domain.
Google sees steemit.com as an unique website
if you post some spammy article the penalization Google gives affects all the community.
That cannot be true because places like wix.com or wordpress.com are not penalized and they have a ton more crap sites on their domain. They have free websites attached to their domain with literally nothing on them and they are not damaged by it. Google's algorithm is very smart and can understand the separations between each username. Now don't get me wrong. Good posts and informative posts do benefit Steemit but not exactly in the way you think.
wix and wordpress are using subdomains.
steem doesn't. so, yes spam on 1 page penalizes how other pages are ranking on search engine results.
google algorithm is smart and could do it, but actually the domain is what matters. there is no distinction between username. do you have a spare Idea how much computing power they should use to achieve what you say!?
if you post something on your blog it gets high because of steemit.com
if you post some spam google penalizes all the domain not only your @joeyknowsbest folder
indeed. rofl
I pretty much concur to that. Still that's not a reason enough to quit steeming, right?
I am here to make this place better. is it not clear?
