Miles explains

Judge this line on the year, not the last dot: visits are 35% below a year ago, and 42% below the January 2025 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 17% less often than in October 2025 (-17%). 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 down 17%, and nobody types a site’s name by accident, so this shows fewer people coming back on purpose.

4Where the visitors live

About 17 of every 100 visits come from the United States. Outside the US I measure 7 countries one by one; the largest is India.

Miles explains

The US is the biggest single market, but only about 17 in every 100 visits. India alone is 74.2% of the countries measured outside it.

5The most-visited sites

Imgflip gets the most visits, Perchance AI Image Generator is the name people search for most, and MemeCam is the highest-placed tracked site on Google for “ai meme generator”, at position 3. The five most-visited sites take 78.5% of all visits.

By worldwide search visits

By US brand-name searches

Miles explains

The five most-visited sites take 78.5% 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 MemeCam (+79%); the steepest fall was at Predis.ai (-82%). Big swings are usually one site winning or losing one Google ranking.
