Web Traffic & SEO Analysis For All Four Splinterlands Websites (Including Mobile Site)

in LeoFinance4 years ago

Splinterlands is the first game I ever got into as an investment. It has grown to point where Splinterlands is my third largest investment (I'm 100% in crypto). Considering that Splinterlands has become the #1 blockchain game in the market while also being a grassroots project with no VC backing unlike games such as Gods Unchained which raised $15 million in Series A funding. Splinterlands is also one of those projects that has received very little coverage within the cryptosphere. STEEM/HIVE being social media and most of the discussions and promotions happening internally within the platform is the likely culprit.

There are things I would like to know about my investments and when the details are not readily available, I have to resort to making them myself. I don't know if anyone has published similar research. I have not come across them. So here I post statistics for

https://steemmonsters.com

This is the oldest version of the website that has been around even before there was a playable game. I suspect this website will eventually go down in popularity as the other websites with the rebranded version of the game being more prominent. One great metric is that due to there begin a game, average time spent on the website is 28 minutes and 26 seconds.

Fun Fact: https://steemmonsters.com is the #896 most popular website of Paraguay

https://splinterlands.com

This website has exploded in popularity during the last 90 days from an almost insignificant #805,716 rank to something not as bad. The growth is likely to continue for some for this version. The average time spent on site is 19 minutes and 24 seconds. Bounce rate is much lower at 25.8% compared to 29.8% of https://steemmonsters.com

https://splinterlands.io and https://m.splinterlands.io

This is the worst performing website for desktop. Most statistics are not even available for the website. The player base is used to the desktop version and that is how they started playing the game in the first place. The mobile build is more of a future proofed version for the game so that it can attract a large audience in the future.

Trying Out SEO Reports

Welcome to the real despair. I honestly believe that Splinterlands is world's #1 blockchain game out of pure game design and supportive community that fund it. We suck except for being a legitimately great game with solid economics set for price appreciation of assets.

The Results Were Repeatedly Confirmed

This is only a fraction of few hours of tinkering around the internet and learning new things. I invite you to o to any free or paid SEO tool or report and check the four @splinterlands websites and take a good look on the data.

I'm Not An SEO Expert

I got into the subject as a hobby and out of my itch for learning new things. But I can say with confidence that fixing most of these issues should not be a big hurdle for the team considering that they are very tech savvy individuals.

A Little Experiment On Page Speed

Disappointment + Confidence

I am disappointment by the results if what I saw. The presence of @splinterlands beyond STEEM/HIVE ecosystem is abysmal. The Kickstarter campaigns have done nicely managing to be o the first page for few search terms like "Kickstarter blockchain game". But us being discovered through more broad search terms is virtually nil.

This actually gives me more confidence in my investment. This is probably not something most investors or even casual players would say. But when I look at things, I see a game that has the best fundamentals of any blockchain game I know going completely under the radar lacking in both discoverability and marketing.

I'm sure @abh12345 will be interested in this, depressing analysis! Lots to be improved on there, although in fairness agro has been hitting people up for $10K a piece to take Splinterlands into the big time, so it is something the team are aware of!

I'm 100% sure the game will become a huge hit comparable with Hearthstone. Personally I see this as an opportunity to invest in and I honestly wouldn't mind @splinterlands going under everyone's radar for some time. I have been powering down over half of my STEEM account mainly to buy DEC.

I think half the steem community has been doing the same, and it's ramped up the last couple of weeks judging by the prices!

I certainly have been - I went crazy and bought myself a second Maxed Mimosa, managed to get 8 Yodins until the price went crazy (I don't even play Fire!)

I'm holding off buying new cards ATM as I think there may be a slight drop off in a couple of weeks when all the PDs are done!

I've got 360K DEC now - I want enough for land when that evolution comes.

There is a future - it's quite nice to think that even when you get beaten it's probably a good sign for your investment as it means someone else has been buying cards!

I did buy a few golden chickens the other day, enough for a L5 - I figure i play it pretty much any battle with <20 mana so I may as well get the extra 10% on the DEC!

Congratulations! I don't have enough funds to go that big. I have spent most of my DEC on Untamed Booster Packs and Potions. Recently got my first Gold Foil Legendary in the form of a Scale Doctor.

I really like that Scale Doctor, although it can be tough to find a decent rule set to play it with. It has a fantastic win rate!

I think Orbs are much better value than Untamed packs, there are some great cards in the Orbs! And the cards classify for a 10% dec bonus. And there aren't that many left.

Buy on the engines for possibly a better price. I picked a few up for $1.15 the other day!

Good pull on the Doctor! I'd hold on to that!

I think have bought a few below $0.80
STEEM-Engine is truly a blessing :-)

Damn good stuff as always 😎
I'll be buying more packs with DEC today 👍
