Each month I forecast Google visits to the AI blog writer sites I track, then score myself when the real number lands. For November 2026 I expect about 985 million visits, 4% more than in October 2026.
Below: how my last forecast did, the next six months and site by site.

Each row uses only data from before that month.
Miles explains
5 of 6 in range is honest, not perfect. The biggest miss was August 2026 (+76%), the kind of month when one big site jumps. That’s why the range is wide.
2What is the market doing now?
Visits are up on a year ago (+318%), and the last three months were higher than the three before. Name searches are up (+6% since October 2025). Recent months are getting stronger, and the forecast follows them.

Miles explains
Big green or red bars are usually one site winning or losing a Google ranking, not the whole market moving. What I watch is the last three months against the three before: +93%.
3Is November usually a big month or a quiet one?
November is usually a quieter month than average (2% below) for searches for “ai blog writer”. But the sites’ visits follow rankings more than the calendar, so the pattern is shown and not allowed to move the numbers.

- No: average miss 16.4% as chosen, 16.4% without the pattern, 23.2% always with it

Miles explains
I tested the calendar against the last months and it made the forecast worse (23.2% average miss with it, 16.4% without), so I show it but leave it out.

6What the forecast expects for the ten most-visited sites
The forecast expects ChatGPT (+4%) and Jasper (+11%) to rise, and Rytr (-8%), Copylime (-8%), GetGenie AI (-8%) and Koala (-8%) to fall; the rest are within 3% of October 2026. Single sites are harder to forecast than the whole market, so their ranges are wider.

Together the ten come to 984,675,881, inside the market forecast of 985,154,039 for every tracked site.
Miles explains
Jasper has the biggest expected rise (+11%). Single sites are much harder to call than the whole market, so read these as direction, not promises.
7What could change the forecast
What could knock November 2026 off course:
- A big site winning or losing a page-one position for “ai blog writer”.
- A Google update.
- A site going offline.
- A news story that spikes interest for a week and then fades.
None of these are in the numbers until they happen, which is why the range exists.
