Traditional search engine usage is at 95%, according to data from Datos and SparkToro; and heavy AI users are still cross-checking with Google, according to a Nielsen Norman Group study.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Focus on channels that matter most<\/strong>. Clark referenced reports that ChatGPT referral traffic is declining and Bing is actually sending more traffic for some sites. This is one of those cases where results may vary, so check your analytics.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Search Engine Land\u2019s ChatGPT referral traffic is most certainly not dipping. In fact, it surged 1,233.5% in August and drove more traffic than Bing. <\/li>\n<li>That said, Google organic search sent 37x more referral traffic than ChatGPT to Search Engine Land.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Bottom line.<\/strong> AI tools are rising fast and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. But Google is still the traffic heavyweight.
