2How many people visited
In plain words: These sites got fewer visits from Google than a year ago (-82%), and October 2026 was about the same as September 2026 (+0.3%). Cryptohopper, which takes 41.6% of all the visits, accounts for most of the fall (86% of it). Without it, visits would be down 53.5% on a year ago instead of down 82.3%.

Miles explains
Judge this line on the year, not the last dot: visits are 82% below a year ago, and 91% 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 36% less often than in October 2025 (-36%). 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 36%, and nobody types a site’s name by accident, so this shows fewer people coming back on purpose.
4Where the visitors live
About 24 of every 100 visits come from the United States. Outside the US I measure 7 countries one by one; the largest is India.
