Do not use this post as information for making any important decisions. The only agreements I ever make are informal and non-binding. Take the same precautions as when dealing with a compromised account, scammer, sockpuppet, etc.

It takes MONTHS to get your alexa up.
We have so much to offer that doesn't require any media too, subjects like decentralized dns, or:

Our image SUCKS.
Nobody knows we exist.
 
We have 101 Delegates too! 101!!
 
I ran some reports on github. You've got like 10 really active Delegates coding in there. Yes, 10.
Another 30 Delegates appear to be off and on coding.
Fuzzy is his own beast, everyone knows he works his ass off.
That leaves roughly 60 people getting paid to do what for us? Run a node?
When their node is running, what else are they doing to entice a WHALE?
 
We need ALL HANDS ON DECK.
I REFUSE to show any wall street brokers, bankers or wealth protection firms BitShares right now. (you know, WHALES). Why?
 
Our image SUCKS.
Nobody knows we exist.
 
When you build a successful company, you hit the ground running and you grit your teeth and you fire your big guns every single day! You grab every body you  can, you put their asses to work and you show them the returns of their hard work.

Try searching again, use the incognito chrome browser which removes your personalized search factors. You will see that in your first example, Bytemaster's blog on the bitshares.org page appears as the 17th search result. Your second example, bitshares.org is the fifth search result on the page. My site Bitsharesblog.com appears in the thirties of the search result for both of those  search phrases.

As for the word decentralized, nobody uses that to search for anything and we make way to big a deal about that word, it is meaningless to almost everyone that is not in our little niche.

What are the search volumes on these keywords?

"cryptocurrency exchange" has about 1,890 / month
"decentralized exchange" has around 100 ??

Guys, this has become VERY disappointing for me, VERY quickly. >:(
 
When I search for the following strings, BitShares doesn't even appear in search results!
 
https://www.google.com/webhp?ion=1&espv=2#q=decentralized%20crypto%20exchange
https://www.google.com/webhp?ion=1&espv=2#q=decentralized+exchange
https://www.google.com/webhp?ion=1&espv=2#q=decentralized+trading+floor
https://www.google.com/webhp?ion=1&espv=2#q=non-volatile+crypto+currency
https://www.google.com/webhp?ion=1&espv=2#q=non-volatile+cryptocurrencies
https://www.google.com/webhp?ion=1&espv=2#q=anonymous+crypto+trading
..shall I go on?
 
If you do get lucky enough to find the BitShares related websites, they should look a lot more exciting like this:
http://www.falloutcomplex.com
https://ripple.com
 
Not boring like this (sorry to whoever designed this):
http://bitshares.org
Tell me WHY anyone needs to signup for BitShares RIGHT NOW?
Get me excited!
Where's the pitch and close?
 
We're even LOSING sites:
eBook: http://bitshares101.net
BitShares gear: http://www.cryptofresh.com
 
I can help with SEO and SEP too, but we've GOT to get our sites beautified, bumped up on alexa, put on a nice shirt, change your gravatar to something more professional, and I need help finishing all the translation jobs I've got posted. I'm stretched WAY too thin now, this is ridiculous!
 
It's damn hard for me to bring us the money when we look like a bunch of god damn teenagers. You want investment? Look the part! Let's get off our asses RIGHT NOW, move around, motion creates emotion! A.B.C.
 
I'm quickly losing my motivation here people, quit bitchin and start thinking of what you're going to do TODAY to bring us the next whale!


Wow my site is compared to ripple.. cool. They had WAY more money than me to do theirs! :)

I know the space isn't SEO optimized.. it really requires content and press releases to do that. Dan started a blog.. but without more people linking to it, it's not going to make an impact in google.

You also have to note that the crypto terms and space are largely dominated by bitcoin primarily because it gets ALL the media attention, which in turn affects the search results. Occasionally you see an alt coin make it's way into the media for a quick pump and dump, but otherwise thats about it.

As utility grows so will our SEO positioning I think. More sites 'powered by bitshares' coming out.

If you are looking to do something in this space.. I would carefully select a particular term to target and just start revolving all the content you put out around that. One good press release that makes it's way into reuters and bloomberg can change the entire search landscape overnight.

Keep in mind the only people in bitshares represent the 2.5% marketshare of innovators and maybe a small portion of the 13.5% of early adopters that make up the general populace. The rest won't even look at this yet.. it's not ready for them. So you want to target spaces where innovators and early adopters hangout.

My two BTS anyways. :)

Alex Jones is very entertaining:

Lol but seriously, if we actually have some well known exchanges issue their assets on our blockchain (June?) then it wont matter if we havent put much effort into SEO.

Yeah media coverage can help but its not going to be critical to BitShares' success when we have a finished product.
