One of the more interesting aspects of SteemIT platform is that most of the content embedded is YouTube traffic.
What's intriguing about visiting a SteemIT page from a "Cookie" perspective, is that your attention to various subjects can be tracked and monetized. There's intrinsic value in knowing where where traffic is coming and going.
Traffic patterns are helpful especially in machine learning algorithms and can help establish patterns and profiles. These patterns and profiles can build models and develop better algorithms which in turn can fuel campaigns in real time.
Hence a market is established. Value "about" us is exchanged.
We are the Cryptocurrency.
The beauty of SteemIT platform is the fact that the content can reside elsewhere but don't for a moment believe that the value of the traffic is minimized and the content you create is rewarded.
Start by establishing your own content network and serve SteemIT the assets. Then you can run your own analytics and develop a better understanding of your audience.
Is Google looking at SteemIT? Probably not yet, but the more YouTube videos and referral traffic that gets posted will raise eyebrows or maybe confirm what we thought all along.
SteemIT is the new Google+ (Sorry that was a joke. We all love Google+....right?)
