Referral traffic from AI engines

AI engines crawl us heavily to train on and cite our content — but click-through referral traffic sending real visitors back to the site is still nascent: 0 so far.

Methodology

This index comes from our own server-side bot detection on blog pageviews — user agents matched against known AI crawler signatures, not a third-party panel. An engine needs a small minimum number of hits before it appears as its own bar; low-volume crawlers still count toward the totals above. The cached aggregate refreshes every few hours.
