Hi @o1eh
What an interesting article. I was struck by the way Steemmit publications are appearing in specialized search engines and that they are being used as reference sources in various investigations.
I have a recent experience, a journalism student at a Venezuelan University contacted me on my WhatsApp.
What caught my attention was that she found through Google, a publication of my authorship about beliefs according to Neurolinguistic Programming, which I made in 2018.
The surprise was great, the girl contacted me because my cell phone number appears in a banner at the end of my publications.
We talked for a while and I helped her "as an expert" in relation to the subject of her degree thesis that she is starting.
I share some screenshots of the WhatsApp and a translation:
ENGLISH: Hello, good morning, sorry for the inconvenience and the surprise, but I am a social communication student from Barquisimeto and I am using as a reference for my degree work a research on beliefs on your website, therefore I need the author's last name.
ESPAÑOL: Hola, buenos días, disculpe la molestia y la sorpresa, pero soy estudiante de comunicación social de Barquisimeto y estoy utilizando de referencia para mi trabajo de grado una investigación de las creencias en su página web, por ende necesito el apellido del autor.
Other capture whitout traduction.
This is very interesting. Recently, I was also approached by a guy as an "expert" on Steemit 😄. He wanted to promote his business on Steemit, but he was only interested in the Ukrainian audience, which is not very large here.
I think Steemit would gain a lot if links to posts appeared in Google search results. But apparently Google doesn't take kindly to content posted on Steemit. You can mostly find older posts in the search.
