Cryptoblogging platforms: SimilarWeb analysis and insights

Hi Serey! I've decided to do my own SimilarWeb analysis on 12 crypto-blogging platforms. Please open my report post to see my insights :) I'm cross-posting this article to most of my blogs because I find this data important and interesting.  ## Methodology In this small analytics I've used only SimilarWeb (free) analytical instrument. The metrics I'd collected was: visits to current moment, visit duration, pages per visit number, user bounce rate, and visits for each of the 6 previous months starting with previous month. ## SimilarWeb rating URL | Visits | VD | PPV | BR | Feb | Jan | Dec | Nov | Oct | Sep |-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-|-| Steemit | 10.14M | 197 | 2.94 | 70.41% | 10.1M | 12.0M | 11.9M | 13.3M | 14.3M | 16.4M Golos | 1.22M | 139 | 2.27 | 75.75% | 1.2M | 1.45M | 1.4M | 1.45M | 1.65M | 1.75M Whaleshares | 298K | 718 | 7.9 | 40.22% | 300K | 240K | 230K | 230K | 160K | 130K Deals.weku.io | 116.95K | 629 | 6.25 | 27.27% | 120K | 160K | 210K | 240K | 330K | 210K Scorum.com | 86.67K | 275 | 2.78 | 61.39% | 85K | 95K | 100K | 120K | 130K | 140K Smoke.io | 83.56K | 367 | 4.21 | 30.96% | 85K | 95K | 110K | 170K | 140K | 25K *VD = Visit Duration (in seconds) **PPV = Pages Per Visit ***BR = Bounce Rate Months in the table are showing how much users visited the website for each month accordingly. M stands for Millions, K for thousands. ## Not enough data on SimilarWeb * alpha.weyoume.io * serey.io * viz.world * vox.community * bearshares.com * VIT (touch.tube) Only half of the known platforms (6 out of 12) has enough data for similarweb to see the analytics report. That's sad serey doesen't have enough SimilarWeb statistics to be in the article. ## Summary **Steemit, Golos** and **Scorum** are currently suffering user base decrease for mostly half of a year. **Golos** is having a shortest view time and highest bounce rate, and it lost about 0.5 millions of visitors in just 6 months. In the same time frame, **Steemit** lost about 6.3 millions of visitors, or more than 1/3 of audience. **Whaleshares & Weku** are growing in the terms of user base, and they are also having good numbers for visit duration (more than 10 minutes) and "pages per visits" are also high with numbers up to 6-8. Their bounce rate is also quite low - just 30-40%, especially comparing to **Steemit & Golos** 70-75% user bounce rate. **Weku** seems currently transferring its users from deals.weku.io to main.weku.io domains. **Smoke** had a nice user base grow until November 2018, then user number started to fall down and now it's stagnating. It has medium visit duration and pages per visit rating. Do you have any insights on these platforms? Do you know others? Please post your opinion, links or whatever in the comments below. I hope serey will become more popular and we will see some live stats on similarweb soon. See you in the next cryptoblog! ;) **Den Ivanov aka @sxiii from Random City**
