## Methodology

- Visits come from sites that measure AI traffic with Notra: requests from known AI crawlers, and page views referred by AI assistants.
- Aggregated and anonymized. Only shares, reach and per-site medians are published. A bot, assistant or company appears only after reaching at least 5 different sites; a chart day only when that many sites had AI traffic.
- Sample projects and demo accounts are excluded. Days are UTC; snapshots cover full days and end with yesterday.
- "vs. prior week" compares the last 7 days with the 7 before, over sites measured in both weeks. Assistants rank over the last 28 days against the 28 before, since referrals are sparse.
- Published once a day. Cite as "Notra AI Traffic Data, usenotra.com/data" with the snapshot date.
