Just checked my Google search traffic stats, and boy this is becoming grim for web publishers: Clicks Per Impression for Cybercultural is down to an all-time low of 0.37 (was as high as 2.24 in mid-2024). BUT search impressions is at an all-time high, and still climbing as I continue to post new articles. The problem, as the chart with the blue line shows, is that click-thrus flatlined last year and in December began to dip again. This will only get worse this year, as AI Mode really kicks in.
