Where do users come from?
In Traffic estimate last month the top channel is organic search at about 66%, direct about 25%, referrals about 5%, and visits last month were about 25.8K (+93% month over month). There are 546 search terms, but apart from the brand keyword blainy the top ones are Japanese or tire terms such as ダイワ ハイブリッドアイアン, セイコー watches, and 245/40r21, unrelated to essay writing. The blog also has spam articles such as "kms pico" and "office activation", so speculation: this part of the traffic is not product demand, and real search acquisition should be discounted. The blog has 100+ SEO articles on essays, papers, grammar, and study methods (since 2024-11), and the site also launched on Product Hunt (2024). The founder did not fill in a channel on Revenue record.
Channel share, initial acquisition, and growth drivers are distinct; correlation does not imply proven causation.
