RE: Steemdrive: First Steemit Billboard to hit USA in Chicago, Illinois - Vote for the “American Dream"!

in #steemit8 years ago

Curious that you're going to billboard advertise a different URL (steemit.life) rather than the actual one (steemit.com) just for tracking purposes. Has anyone done that before? Are there any examples of big advertisers doing that? Also curious, that URL currently redirects to some random temporary page rather than here. Make sure that link is working before you drop your deposit on that first billboard!

Hi @rambling-bob, I see the link error you were referring to. If you type www in the URL, all is fine and steemit.life points to the steemit.com home page, however if you leave out the www. it goes off to a weird landing page, some certificate issue. I used the affiliate link format provided in someone else's affiliate marketing post, https://steemit.com/?r=steemdrive , and since I always type www. I never noticed the issue. I have changed it now to link to http://www.steemit.com/?r=steemdrive and that now works perfectly in both scenarios. Thanks for the heads up!

To answer your other question, no-one has done a blockchain social media site that pays authors for content before either, Steemit inspires innovation and thinking differently. A lot of people asked for metrics and it gives us the flexibility to also create an onboarding website easing people into Steemit with proper etiquette, wallet security etc, chat protocols etc which is badly needed. That is eventually the idea.
