My 5th most popular traffic source: ChatGPT
This previously didn’t exist, now it’s sending YouTube-level traffic (and YouTube clicks are notoriously good).
SEO will likely change from writing how-to articles to more experience-based articles AI can take examples from.
A few years ago, ChatGPT didn’t exist. Now it’s sending creators YouTube-level traffic. That’s crazy. People are literally discovering sites, videos, and products through AI chat answers.
Marketing Analysis
ChatGPT is acting like a new organic channel. When people ask it questions, it sometimes surfaces real links. If your content gets mentioned, you can suddenly see a surge of traffic—without writing a single SEO-optimized headline.
Why It Works
- AI answers feel personal, so people trust the click.
- Competition is still tiny—early content wins.
- Real experience-based posts give AI something to cite.
- Long-tail questions = high-quality visitors.
Real Examples
- Bloggers say ChatGPT now sends as much traffic as X.
- Brands are writing for “AI discoverability.”
- YouTubers see ChatGPT mentions boost subscribers.
