SEO Tip: How to Track Traffic from ChatGPT /Searchgpt using GA4 I wanted to share a simple tip that you can use to track traffic from chatgpt or even from any other relevant source (perplexity etc). Some of you might need this now or later so let me know if this helps. Here's what worked for me: First, hop into GA4 and head to Reports → Acquisition → Traffic acquisition.

But when I look that page up in GSC it is telling me that it hasn't been crawled since September!... 4 0 replies
90% traffic drop when cookie banner implemented on Joomla I wonder if anyone with experience of Joomla can share any insight? One of my clients migrated to the platform earlier in the year. When the cookie banner was implemented, and tracking set up via Tag Manager, traffic dropped by around 90% YOY. I know a 30-60% drop is normal (and is what I see with other clients on other platforms), but 90% seems an insane drop. Stats on Search Console are showing a fairly steady/gradual increase in traffic over the year, so I don't think there has actually... 2 0 replies

How did this competitor get so many referring domains/backlinks so fast? I was looking at a high ranking competitor's data in SEMRush and noticed their referring domains and backlinks both spiked, though at different times. Linking an image of the data in the comments since the automod removed my first post. My initial inclination is to assume that these links were paid for. When looking at their referring domains and the quality of the links themselves, they are very clearly low quality links. But this begs the question: Will a sudden burst of low-quality backlinks really tank a site per... 3 0 replies

Looking for simple backlink strategies for a blog with 45k monthly users I run a blog where I publish legal articles, and it attracts about 45,000 users per month. I’ve been building backlinks through outreach to reporters and organizations, but I’d like to incorporate some simpler strategies into my process. For example, I’ve considered re-posting some of my articles on platforms like Medium or Quora. However, I’ve heard that Medium doesn’t do much to boost SEO.
