RE: Falling out with Alexa and making friends with Google - write as if your steem life depended on it...
My point was that Alexa is not seeing the post appear on Steemit.com .. it's seeing and tracking the visitors ... so when people visit the other frontends that shows increased visitors to that frontend which is a corresponding decrease to Steemit.com
I don't consider that a bad thing because the ecosystem is the traffic that really matters and those other frontends are just access points as well.
So, seeing a drop in steemit.com's Alexa ranking is not an indication of Steem's decline when the other frontends rankings are climbing. It's more an indication of the distribution of attention across the ecosystem.
True, but is the opposite of what I replied to ;-)
Organic growth of visitors to the tribes is good, but those coming from a search engine are likely to be directed to the steemit version of an article, even if not the originating platform - and that has to do with what is considered the canonical url.
Do you think the distribution to the other front ends will impact on the potential advertising revenue from steemit.com?
I wonder if some shared ad revenue model needs to be explored?
Yes, but good luck with the "sharing" model - I suspect tribes and platforms are now very obviously in competition.
I suspect the opposite, and that tribes need to find ways of actually being communities and not just post-tags with potentially zero actual participation - and zero eyeball count.
I would definitely agree on that. Beginning to explore that in conversations with tribe owners on my new MSP show - TRIBE.talk that started yesterday.
Good to see you back on air! Shame that the show-times are so US-centric but, as before, appreciate the copies made so can watch those. It does, however, mean I can't butt in - a blessed relief to some, no doubt.
