Reddit, Quora, and other internet forums that have climbed up through the traditional set of Google links. Data analysis from Semrush, which predicts traffic based on search ranking, shows that traffic to Reddit has climbed at an impressive clip since August 2023. Semrush estimated that Reddit had over 132 million visitors in August 2023. At the time of publishing, it was projected to have over 346 million visitors in April 2024.
I was wondering if the bump was universal or if Google just thought I always wanted to see Reddit results based on my browsing history.
Also, every time Quora comes up it amazes me that it overtook Yahoo Answers. It’s like Tik Tok vs Vine
I really don’t get how Quora gets ranked so highly in search results when it’s one of the worst sites I’ve ever seen. They somehow managed to fuck up the UI on a Q&A forum. And the answers are wrong like 30% of the time.
30% is generously low
But I’m definitely ordering that corn cleaner post haste.
Another 30% is just Nazi posting.
Agree… you’d think Google would prioritize sites that are actually useful. Quora isn’t useful unless you want to jump through a bunch of hoops to sign in.
Quora was supposed to be the high-brow answer to Yahoo Answers, but then Yahoo Answers was killed off.
Eventually the muppets found their way to Quora. Probably by accident at first, but the Quora moderation didn’t stop enough of the muppetry and now it’s just Yahoo Answers pretending not to be.
Was it ever high brow? I never really noticed it until the past few years
That’s what their marketing team decided to say.
Then they decided to pay people for activity.
SAME! I’m so glad someone else said this. I feel like I just repeat it to myself internally every time I notice it.
