Overlooked in all this is the fact that most do not use Steemit.com especially with the introduction of the tribes. For example, I am posting this comment from Steemleo directly. I personally do not do anything on Steemit.com. I not only use busy and Steempeak but I also post/vote directly on Steemeleo, stemgeeks, and palnet. Add in the other applications and it is easy to see that Steemit.com is no longer the choice app for most.

But the content still appears on steemit.com. And with 180K+ daily unique visitors it is clear most will be organic search engine traffic. It will be interesting to see how the stats grow for each of the tribe sites. Hopefully tribes will be able to make the figures public.

it appears on STeemit and the other frontends but Alexa only notices when the content is accessed through Steemit.com

The issue here is one of "canonical URL"; the originating website of a post. This has been discussed a few times within the Leo chatroom because it was noticed that steemit.com is claiming as canonical posts that do not originate from its own site. This should be of concern to all platforms and to tribe websites. The setting is placed in the post header and the webmaster must know how the setting works and what to do about ensuring it retains canonical status if a post originates from somewhere other than steemit. Google is not the dumbest company on the planet and can tell the difference between theft and article farms (lol) and, if there are conflicts between the canonical status of a post it will use other metrics. I also noted that even if an article is posted from a tribe site, the timestamp of the Steemit "copy" is 3 seconds *before* it appears on the tribe site. These are all issues that a webmaster should be aware of.
