We tracked the organic search traffic of CNET, Wired, The Verge, TechRadar, and six others from early 2024 to today. Combined, they’ve lost 65 million monthly visits. Some lost over 90%.



On one hand this is the death of independent sites funding themselves off organic traffic. On the other hand these sites were shit and should have died a long time ago.
They’ll still exist just moved off to social media instead.
