2How many people visited

In plain words: These sites got more visits from Google than a year ago (+71%), and October 2026 was about the same as September 2026 (-0.2%). PolyBuzz, which takes 82.5% of all the visits, gained more visits on its own than the whole market gained in a year. Without it, visits would be down 29.6% on a year ago instead of up 70.9%.

Miles explains

Judge this line on the year, not the last dot: visits are 71% above a year ago, and 0% below the September 2026 high. One site winning or losing a ranking can swing a single month a lot.

3How many people went looking

People typed a site’s name into Google 81% more often than in October 2025 (+81%). That is the loyalty number: nobody types a name by accident.

US searches a month for the counted brand names, summed. Google Ads data via DataForSEO, to September 2026.

Miles explains

Name searches are the number I trust most. They are up 81%, and nobody types a site’s name by accident, so this shows more people coming back on purpose.

4Where the visitors live

About 26 of every 100 visits come from the United States. Outside the US I measure 7 countries one by one; the largest is United Kingdom.

Miles explains

The US is the biggest single market, but only about 26 in every 100 visits. United Kingdom alone is 19% of the countries measured outside it.

5The most-visited sites

PolyBuzz gets the most visits, PolyBuzz is the name people search for most, and no tracked site ranks on Google for “ai anime girlfriend”. The five most-visited sites take 99.9% of all visits.

By worldwide search visits

By US brand-name searches

Miles explains

The five most-visited sites take 99.9% of all visits. When one of them gains or loses a big ranking, the whole market total moves with it.

6Who grew and who shrank

The fastest grower in a year was Candy AI (+3185%); the steepest fall was at anime.gf (-94%). Big swings are usually one site winning or losing one Google ranking.
