You are right, not only steemians may read you. Sometimes I look for something in google and I find articles from steemit. We may reach some traffic from outside if we leave our contacts in our blogs.

If steemit inc are able to monitize steemit with ad revenue, then there are plenty of eyes getting to our content. The problem is they dont want to sign up for a steem account. we could see this as a barrier for steem content creators. collecting email addresses is standard for blogging elsewhere, and I think its a good idea to do it on steem too. thanks for your comment @clixmoney
Are they really monerizing the platform with those ads.
Of course, everyone can monetize his site with Adsense, but as I'm on my phone and can't seem to be able to find any mobile ads, I don't even know if they are using Adsense.
I mean, it's not because they are displaying ads, that this means the content here is seen more.
To really monetize SteemIt, you need to make it attractive for advertisers, and that is not the case. The number of SteemIt articles that reach a broader audience is very limited. Too limited to be interesting for advertisers.
steemit gets a lot of traffic. Similar web shows almost 12m visitors in December. Pity most of them do not sign up for a wallet. The ads are only seen when you are logged out. For a while I was seeing ads for content marketing lol. now they seem to have changed and steemit seems to be looking for direct advertisements. I just took a quick screen grab to show you
There is also now the change of mind from steemit inc in the importance of steemit.com. Not so long ago it was on maintenance, now they have added ads and steemit.com is back to being a core part of the business. Ned himself said that he was surprised with the first lot of revenue.
