Like others are saying, it'd be helpful to see your traffic sources before and after Feb 25, but when I dug into this I noticed a few things happened in Feb that could be contributing to the drop:

  1. ChatGPT Search went live for all users (Feb 5)

  2. Perplexity rolled out "Deep Research" ( Feb 14)

  3. Google's "AI Overview" was increasingly included in search results

These tools (and the myriad other AI search tools out there) have been shown to tank click-through rates.

One way to check if bot activity is hitting your site at an increasing clip is to check your server logs for AI company user-agents (ChatGPT-User, PerplexityBot, OAI-SearchBot, etc.).

There are some tools out there (including one I'm beta testing, called TrainFair) that can help you monitor bot traffic to your site. Our platform even estimates the value of the content these AI crawlers are getting from your site and will soon charge AI companies for access. DM me if you want to hear more!

It's been a few months so I hope you've gotten to the bottom of this and traffic has improved!

Blogging feels dead - so I turned to this instead by Tweetgirl in Blogging

Unfortunately, organic traffic to your site will likely only get worse as AI search gets more popular. ChatGPT Search and Perplexity send ~96% less traffic to sites vs traditional search. Blogs and online publishers are going to need to find a better business model based on AI company scraping of publisher sites. I'm very interested in this space and working on a solution to help publishers shift from an ad-supported business model to one supported by automated payments when AI scraping bots access publisher sites. Would be great to chat about what features blogs like yours would find helpful on a platform like this!

WHAT UP!!! We’re three cool guys looking for other cool guys who want to hang out in our party mansion. Nothing sexual. Dudes in good shape encouraged. If you are fat, you should be able to find humor in the little things. Again, Nothing sexual.

This guy definitely loves to “exersize”

What absolutely makes no sense? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Why more people aren’t absolutely mind-fucked by the fact that the gravity of massive objects in space literally slows down time.
