2How many people visited

In plain words: These sites got fewer visits from Google than a year ago (-14%), and October 2026 was about the same as September 2026 (-1%). Deepware Scanner lost more visits on its own than the whole market lost in a year. Without it, visits would be up 0.5% on a year ago instead of down 14.0%.

Miles explains

Judge this line on the year, not the last dot: visits are 14% below a year ago, and 35% 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 12% less often than in October 2025 (-12%). 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 12%, and nobody types a site’s name by accident, so this shows fewer people coming back on purpose.

4Where the visitors live

About 23 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 23 in every 100 visits. India alone is 40.4% of the countries measured outside it.

5The most-visited sites

Cudekai gets the most visits, AI or Not is the name people search for most, and AI or Not is the highest-placed tracked site on Google for “ai video detector”, at position 4. The five most-visited sites take 90.9% of all visits.

By worldwide search visits

By US brand-name searches

Miles explains

The five most-visited sites take 90.9% 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 Cudekai (+161%); the steepest fall was at Sensity AI (-92%). Big swings are usually one site winning or losing one Google ranking.
