Topic: Bitcointalk monthly traffic analysis and stats - page 2. (Read 437 times)

Google does not consider a blog and a discussion board (forum,...) in the same way. This is a well-known fact, but to give an example, Google's bots visit a forum more frequently than a blog (every xx minutes for a forum, once a day for a blog. Considering you haven't written a rule in the robots.txt file of course)

(And there is a good reason to do so, but that's another topic)

The default SMF is enough to optimize SEO, of course they can install a mod but to be honest it's pretty useless. The forum is optimized sufficiently as it is and changing something won't do much.

Not to mention the fact that Bitcointalk has been considered by Google as an "authority site" for years. And when it comes down to it, SEO is pretty useless.

There are so many keywords with which Bitcointalk comes up on the 1st page of the SERP

That's for ON-site SEO, now for the OFF: does Bitcointalk need anything given the mentions it already has? Wikipedia, Forbes, WJS,...


These traffic analysis tools are to be taken with caution. Since you don't have access to the server, such statistics can be considered as not accurate (or not very accurate).

And to stay about forum and SEO. https://youtu.be/WSkETCRe7Ic

Since it changed, we can say the SERP do the job now.

Traffic is not the priority for theymos, quality is. However the forum is missing on some great opportunities, where the source of all things bitcoin related should be this forum, where it should be in the top 5 results on the first pages of search engines. Some of the most prominent crypto related developers lurk these woods regularly and provide the most useful content, yet the search result for some fundamental discussions about bitcoin refer the user to other sources. Bitcointalk should be the go to for the majority of crypto enthusiasts not the go to for the majority of altcoin scammers.

I am pretty confident that the stats do not have much flow. I am using one of the best tool that is existed in the industry.

The desktop users are steady, the ups and downs are not much noticable but that huge drop from September to October may caused by the price of Bitcoin. These days new generation always use mobile. When they see much growth, much talk about Bitcoin then they obviously find us from their smart phones.

With a mobile friendly version we could hook them better.

Your statistics does provide valuable insights for the forum An average monthly registration of 8.5k, 1.3 million visits for February is a remarkable number.
I am doubtful the admins are interested in boosting traffic or attracting more ads. And they do not plan to make any changes from the current system to make the forum more friendly to other users.

There was no significant price action to result in the dramatic change. Could it be a flaw in the stats? It also shows mobile users to be way higher than desktop users which does not show up in any other month.

Analyzing website traffic for Bitcointalk can provide valuable insights that can help forum members to understand how big we are and obviously we can inform Crypto businesses to make informed decisions about advertising their projects on the forum.

As an SEO professional, I have all sorts of tools which allow me to see different metrics of a website to analyze and improve.  I always wondered why admins never thought of to have an SEO audit for the entire forum, I understand it's an old forum but having an SEO audit and some simple tweaks can increase our online experience by 100x. That being said let's start with the last last month's stats.




1.3 Million visits with 552.1k visitors. Although visits gained up to 8.63% compared to January 2023 but 2.97% drop of unique visitors basically makes it even. We had very similar traffic activities comparing to previous month. 56.53% bounce rate on a forum is a lot to be honest. The average visit duration is not bad. It means there are people who spend almost a whole day on the forum.




Does anyone have any explanation why on the earth there is a dramatic drop from September last year to October last year? From 3.9M monthly visit to under 1M which is almost 75% drop, not a very normal behavior. Is this because of the Bitcoin price? I can not remember when it started to drop from $50k then below.

Form October to until now, it's moving steady which is a good thing.

81% of the forum visitors are from Desktop which again proves if we had a mobile friendly version then we would have at least 10x visitors on the forum.



It's very simple, most of the visitors who stay longer time are people who know the url and visit the forum by typing the URL directly on their browser. They may have bookmarked the pages too.



Even without proper optimization, Google is providing 32.89% traffic. Duckduckgo is also popular around the community. I think these small percent of people are really concerned about their privacy.



No office but it seems Colombian nations who are the most numbers as visitors do not like mobile device at all LOL. See 100% are on desktop when they are visiting the forum 

Would you like me to continue it for every coming months?
Opinions please.
