Great post mate!
It is very interesting to see where hive will go in the future.
I have found Google has some of mine and @terrybogan travel posts on hive on the first page when asking a question which is answered in the blog we wrote on hive.

So I guess SEO in your blogs does help with Google to find it and get it out to people who have never heard of hive before. But SEO gets very confusing just like explaining hive to someone !lol

That's awesome! Well done with that!!

So yeah, it's not impossible to rank on the first page with Hive posts... Google is definitely scraping Hiveblog, PeakD and Ecency for content.... but I don't think it ranks our stuff that high compared to other sites. I'd guess if we wrote the exact same posts, but in Reddit they'd probably be in Google first page results more frequently.... which again, makes it hard for newbies to find out about Hive at all.

One thing I'm really confused about is... does Hive need new people to buy up $HIVE tokens to be successful long-term? Or will it just keep going okay if the current buyers keep buying?

Yeah I don't think Google ranks hive over other sites as well.
Hive has stayed pretty solid around the AUS $0.50 for a while now
If new people bought up hive I think that would be great for the future of hive! But it doesn't look to likely atm

Yeah... I'm honestly happy with it being pretty stable and solid.. especially since we're printing more every 3 seconds, but clearly not enough to overwhelm demand.
