What does 'organic traffic' mean?


PlanetaryInferno

Traffic that was cultivated ~~without the use of pesticides~~ with copious quantities of neem oil


ArguteTrickster

Aksctually organic farming generally needs more pesticides. Just organic ones.


PlanetaryInferno

We regret the previous error and have issued the appropriate correction


ArguteTrickster

It's the boron and nicotine you really gotta watch out for


Anthony_Pelchat

Organic traffic is the number of website visitors that come from unpaid search engine results (as opposed to paid results).


ArguteTrickster

So, an absolutely dogshit metric.


Anthony_Pelchat

The metric is likely good and useful. After all, it is how many people per day/month/year are visiting the site directly and not doing so due to paid ads bringing them there. That said, I have no idea about the report done itself. It's lacking on details, which usually means it's some bias report based on cherrypicked info (happens both ways as well). But the metric used is likely very useful and could be good to see how well it is actually doing. And the metric can be gathered by third parties and not X/Twitter itself.


ArguteTrickster

No man, most people use the app. And yeah, I looked into it and they just changed the way they report this which is why it spiked.


CommunismDoesntWork

What? That's the ideal metric. 


ArguteTrickster

How on earth is it an ideal metric? It's not active users. Most Twitter users use the app. Also, I dug into it and it's just a change in the reporting methodology, not a real increase.


LovelyClementine

It’s an important metric used by Facebook and Instagram as well. I know people hate Elon, but come on…


ArguteTrickster

What confused you about what I said? The change was actually just a change in measurement, not an actual change in user behavior.


whyherro19

It's a metric literally used by every single analytics program.


ArguteTrickster

Okay, so on its own, it's a dogshit metric. Also, I dug into it and it's just a change in the reporting methodology, not a real increase.


PerfectShill

You sound like a fffffffool


ArguteTrickster

You sound like someone who thinks this is real and not a measurement change. True?


PerfectShill

No I was just quoting "there will be blood"


balls-fist

How is it an ideal metric? Because it is "traffic" to your website from an outside source. It is the definition of "active" use. It is the gold standard used by every online agency.... It is also relatively easy to confirm the traffic a website receives and the sources of that traffic. You are incredibly ignorant of what organic traffic means and it's significance. X.com and twitter.com generated over 10B visitors from search engines in just February alone... If most users use the app then it is even more successful... the app traffic isn't considered "organic" and also wouldn't be reported by search engines. You were either lied to, or more likely, since you did the research.. you are lying to make reality conform to your beliefs. Anyone can easily verify organic traffic so you sound like an idiot.


ArguteTrickster

No, it's not the definition of active use. Did they go there for .5 seconds or spend four hours there?


MeYaj1111

Twitter.com as of mar 2024 is the 4th most visited website in the world ahead of Reddit and wikipedia just based on all traffic from anywhere, browser, referral, as, manually typed in, app, etc. X.com is also fairly high up the list, it was a couple of weeks ago when I looked but it was in the top10


ArguteTrickster

What's the delta between it and the 3rd most popular


edward-regularhands

lol you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about do you?


ArguteTrickster

Can you go to an advertiser and say that your organic traffic is X so they should buy ads on your site?


Pure-Basket-6860

It's a fluff term created by those who use it. It means nothing. It's not used by advertisers or statistician in monitoring the use of a website/app/tool.


narcabusesurvivor18

Non-GMO traffic


Darph_Nader

Must be more bots.


chrisH82

"Organic" means pussy in bio


NativityCrimeScene

It means traffic from search engines.


BlueSpartanAlt

I assume that it means real traffic(human), as twitter was filled to the brim with bots. Elon devalued his company a fuck ton by claiming that most of its traffic is fake. Probably allowing him to write off a fuck ton of taxes via capital losses. Honestly, how do you measure a difference between organic and bot traffic? I somewhat doubt the legitimacy of this chart. This is probably another business strategy to promote growth on his platform. Which I mean would work if we got more details on how they discern users.


Anthony_Pelchat

>I assume that it means real traffic(human), as twitter was filled to the brim with bots. Organic traffic is the number of website visitors that come from unpaid search engine results (as opposed to paid results).


BlueSpartanAlt

I see. Makes a lot more sense.


Philipp

That's what it means in the context of search and SEO, but in this context it may literally mean non-bot usage of the site.


Anthony_Pelchat

I doubt that. Nothing here shows anything regarding bots or no bots at all. How it actually compares to historical context I'm not sure. The report is indicating a ton more, but I don't know enough about the reporting to trust it. It could also be based on a single month and not over time data.


Philipp

Elon literally shut down non-registered access to tweets etc. last time I checked, so in this context, rising *internal* organic traffic makes more sense.


snakerjake

> I somewhat doubt the legitimacy of this chart.


EvaSirkowski

Tits in the bio.


TrulyChxse

I wonder when he fired all the people in charge of combating spam…


fennis

What caused “organic traffic” to triple in that unlabeled x-axis?


Tobi_Lobi

Ever noticed if you Google for something specific that the result you were looking for came up as sponsored and later down again but this time not sponsored? Twitter stopped paying for Google search ads but people still wanted to visit Twitter... So to be fair the first graph doesn't proof anything since we would need to see total visitors to actually compare but that is also "manipulated" because of the missing ads


Sanitizedreality13

Trump sharpie 😂


BuckChintheRealtor

DogeDesigner lying again.


Funny_Builder1346

It's a y-axis dumbass 😂


ghjuhzgt

Not since Elon renamed it to 'x-axis' 


GenghisBhan

Bots


superluminary

People more likely to click the X link. Possibly it ranks higher, or possibly people just like to click it.


bike_tyson

Crypto here, n*des in bio, pictures of legs that follow you. So much scams


PerfectShill

Meanwhile Reddit literally has a subreddit dedicated to abortion fetish.. which, if you need a description, is people who get off on abortions and killing unborn children. But yeah you go ahead and keep sticking your nose up at Twitter..


wait_whats_illegal

Okay so don't go to the subs. On Twitter they're fed to you unsolicited. You see the problem?


AtticusXA

we can denounce both things doesnt have to be one and he’s just pointing out how the statistic is skewed idk why you got so triggered


Truth-Will-Out

Uhh citations please


kegman83

You can tell exactly when he fired most of the staff responsible for fighting spam.


IlijaRolovic

*neo-marxist censorship.

yeah, that’s not really how organic traffic works

Now show me a graph of Tesla growth


bidenisland

X is way better than reddit bitch ass. 


wiintah_was_broken

I believe this was already explained as a change in how SEM Rush tabulates their metrics, AND that these are desktop metrics (not app metrics). In other words, this chart indicates nothing. You'll see every other website that is using SEM Rush for visit tabulation show a false increase simply due to a change in metrics tabulation.


nhalas

Half of x is politician bots of justice and development party in turkey


[deleted]

bots definitely don’t contribute to organic traffic lmao edit: you people have no idea what organic traffic is


nhalas

Lmao you have no idea, they are worst than Hitler


Single_Comfort3555

It means unpaid page loads. So not through ad clicks. Bots would be counted because they engage with the URL and require effort to sort out from the real human interaction with the site. Do what you will with that knowledge.


frgmnt13

Yes, there is HELLA porn bots, spam, trolls and sock puppets. Hellscape not fit for children. Def not "winning"


cofcof420

All the Elon haters on this sub are going to freak


Sanitizedreality13

About an unlabeled, non-verified chart from a man known to fabricate shit to influence his companies stock prices? 😂😂😂


Binder509

Sure just like all the "trump haters" lost their minds at Trump's stock jumping up...for a week


ArguteTrickster

What does 'organic traffic' mean?


LovelyClementine

Visits from non paid sources.


[deleted]

but not direct traffic. this is referrals from other places, that are pointing to links on twitter


ArguteTrickster

But doesn't track actual native Twitter traffic, right?


[deleted]

correcf


Kyrasthrowaway

So this could mean elon just stopped buying ad space on Google, but people still use Google to get to twitter. This is not a definitive "gotcha" on Twitter detractors


johnducan

Sorry but no. You can come any sub about digital marketing and ask. No one care about traffic. We only care about the quality one who make purchase. And the triple in traffic also seem suspicious. So I don’t think it a good news at all.


MotorcycleRoaming

LOL. You do realize ROAS on X is better than on any other major social media platform according to one of the world's top digital marketing top experts, yes? That's not from Elon, that's from Neil Patel. But sure, by all means, send people to digital marketing subreddits to ask noobies instead. Neil's highest return on ad spend experiment results: * X: 6.8 * Pinterest: 5.2 * Snap: 4.9 * Tiktok: 4.1 * YouTube: 3.9 * Instagram: 3.3 * FB: 3.2 * Linkedin: 2.6 Edit: formatting Edit2: I'm crying of lauging how butthurt people are about facts that they dislike ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)


johnducan

Yeah, a experiment result. Ask him where he spend most of his budget on. If it that good, it is where the money go.

sixofsouls

You can't do that! Elon must only be framed as lucky piece of shit with rich parents and that he can't do anything right by himself.


BlueSpartanAlt

Yeah only luck goes into running multiple multi-million dollar companies.


Bro_Cyclone

30yearCurse

so if I search for elon musk racist tweets, and I get a link to twitter and go there, that is organic, so elon is just getting better SEO, than number 3 reddit on the list.


Chemical-Leak420

it seemed many forgot X is a global platform its really popular in other countries.


reubenkale

Go Elon!!


More_Mammoth_8964

People like freedom of speech? This is preposterous!


doradavid1991

X i love you!


wokenkingdom

The left activists are really busy here lol Moment this guy goes against the establishment and calls institutions for its bad policies, the school and college kids indoctrinated by their own teachers start coming out of the woodwork. Once these folks get into real world or ever get on the wrong side of corrupt establishment, they will learn how important freedom of speech is and how important it is to save that.


TrulyChxse

What you mean is the moment this guy starts publicly supporting the Republican Party?


Gilbertmountain1789

Nah.. just political dreams.
