Each month I forecast Google visits to the AI research paper writer sites I track, then score myself when the real number lands. For November 2026 I expect about 986 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 bigger month than average (22% above) for searches for “ai paper writer”. But the sites’ visits follow rankings more than the calendar, so the pattern is shown and not allowed to move the numbers.

Miles explains

I tested the calendar against the last months and it made the forecast worse (32.9% average miss with it, 16.4% without), so I show it but leave it out.

4What to expect in November 2026

About 986M visits in November 2026, up 4% on October 2026. The likely range is 904M to 1.1B.

6What the forecast expects for the 6 most-visited sites

The forecast expects ChatGPT (+4%), Paperpal (+8%), Jenni (+7%), Yomu (+7%) and Logically (+10%) to rise, and none to fall by more than 3%; 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 6 come to 985,537,897, inside the market forecast of 985,908,366 for every tracked site.

Miles explains

Logically has the biggest expected rise (+10%). 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 paper 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.
