The ATH has been breached and we are in record territory, with further climbs in traffic every day.
-
Steemit and the STEEM token have made it through the great depression of price and user base. Blockchain rewards for content and curation are climbing, as they catch up to the rise in STEEM price on the cryptocurrency markets. 

The price of STEEM is reasonably stable at these new levels, ranging between 70 and 90 cents. STEEM is also still trading at much higher than historical trading volumes.

Increased levels of activity are now across the board. 
-
The Americas is just below record levels. Europe and Asia are above record levels. There is even an increase in traffic from Africa and Australia starting to show.

This will be my last steemit stats update for a bit since the purpose of these updates has been accomplished.
-
That purpose was to make sure that there is accurate, positive and up to date information being returned buy search engines when searching on certain key words.

To much [old and obsolete](https://steemit.com/steem/@gavvet/writing-on-steemit-about-steem-why-do-it-and-why-community-trending-will-help) information was there up till last week. 
-
I haven't posted about steemit for many months but with the action on the markets felt it was necessary to present traders and potential investors with up to date and accurate information. It was necessary to post daily (which is a break from my usual pattern over the last couple of months) to get this info up as soon as possible and also because there were significant daily moves.

This has been accomplished...

Now any trader or potential investor that searches for "Steemit Traffic" will get the two articles(2 and 3 on google just behind Alexa) I put up specifically for this purpose.

These are just some of the keywords I have been targeting and it has worked, google search results now have up to date, accurate and positive information to find on their first page.
-

Google results are now primed and ready for the next leg up in price. As proof that these articles are bringing more eyeballs its simple to see by the increase in view counts.


My posts normally only get a couple of hundred views at most. These SEO ones from the last two weeks however are mostly above 500 and still increasing with two over 1000 views. 

These are record levels for me as well.

PS. i didn't decline rewards so people from search engines can see a number not 0.00. That number would never have been so large now if it weren't for the price increase and its effect on the reward pool.

Edit: Since this post is also trending high on Google's front page and based on some of your suggestions I have edited out the parts which had user mentions a potentially hostile tone.
