Google custom search just does not cut-it for a content rich platform like Steemit.
First of all, when browsing the Search page, the Top Navigation bar is missing, which does not allow for easy flow of the website.
Secondly Google search, although one of the best search engines online, is the primary search engine for Steemit, considering the amount of content produced on Steemit daily, this should be a focus point for developers on platform improvements, to develop a SteemSearch engine.
A couple of initial improvements;
- Clean-up search page navigation issues
- Include a sidebar on the search page, for each category search
- Get rid of the Google Ads, no use advertising 3rd party services
Content and Search operate hand-in-hand, i would like to see some major improvements in this regard for the platform, keeping in-mind SEO benefits too.
Question: Google Ad revenue generated by the Steemit platform on users content, does Steemit keep all the Ad revenue or is this distributed back to the community?
