Regarding the Alexa / Google Trends rating:

I think the main issue for a good google visibility is now not the content. It's the incoming links from other websites.

Using a few of my Marketing Tools which I can access, there are a whole load of social signals via Facebook, Twitter, etc. (which is good). But really less signals via other websites.

Maybe more users should link from their own websites to steemit, try to get this up, so the overall visibility will follow. Would also help steem as a crypto itself, I guess.
