2How many people visited

In plain words: These sites got fewer visits from Google than a year ago (-6%), and October 2026 was a weaker month than September 2026 (-8%). CrushOn AI lost more visits on its own than the whole market lost in a year. Without it, visits would be up 49.7% on a year ago instead of down 6.3%.

Miles explains

Judge this line on the year, not the last dot: visits are 6% below a year ago, and 27% below the February 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 29% more often than in October 2025 (+29%). That is the loyalty number: nobody types a name by accident.

Miles explains

Name searches are the number I trust most. They are up 29%, and nobody types a site’s name by accident, so this shows more people coming back on purpose.

4Where the visitors live

About 25 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 25 in every 100 visits. India alone is 45.9% of the countries measured outside it.

5The most-visited sites

SpicyChat gets the most visits, SpicyChat is the name people search for most, and no tracked site ranks on Google for “ai roleplay”. The five most-visited sites take 98.7% of all visits.

By worldwide search visits

By US brand-name searches

Miles explains

The five most-visited sites take 98.7% 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 Bubio.ai (+861%); the steepest fall was at CrushOn AI (-45%). Big swings are usually one site winning or losing one Google ranking.
