A Possible Steemit Advs Solution – Viglink

revenue

Many have discussed wether the advertisement e.g. Google Adsense will be beneficial to STEEMIT. Bascially, we have come to two different opinions: @tumutanzi thinks it is not a good idea to introduce advertisement to steemit while @herlife thinks it is possible that in the future Steemit may start earning by puting some adsense advs units on the page.

steemit.com receives about 176,000 unique visitors and 867,680 (4.93 per visitor) page views per day which should earn about $4,520.50/day from advertising revenue. Estimated site value is $2,568,460.69. According to Alexa Traffic Rank steemit.com is ranked number 2,130 in the world and 0.0352% of global Internet users visit it.

We have to admit that advertisement have the impacts on user experiences, and according to the Alexa ranking of STEEMIT.com, the estimated revenues (calculated from the traffic) from the adsense may not be so significantly attractive compared to the current estimated value of the STEEMIT inc.

The other day, I was trying Viglink and I’ve got around $20 revenue by just 1 click. Viglink works by identifying the text and existing links in the page and transforming them into a revenue-based links. So it does not ruin the user experience as there is no advertisement units visible apart form the hyper links.

So, maybe it is a solution for STEEMIT to introduce the Viglink, and the steemians can choose if they want to participate in the program. The revenues from the Viglink can be shared by STEEMIT and the post authors. The advantages are:

• The STEEMIT pages still look clean.
• The steemians can choose to participate e.g. if yes, some texts/links of their articles may be transformed silently to the hyper links that can generate revenues.
• Part of the revenues can be shared to STEEMIT and those can make a difference e.g. used for further development or more payout for authors.
• Authors benefit from this, and also they basically don’t have to do anything apart from saying yes to join the program.

What do you think of this? STEEMIT + Viglink, is this a game changer?
