Why Blog Traffic Is Collapsing (And 10 Ways To Fix It)

Ep163 - A study of 100 top blogs found that most lost significant traffic since 2022, but a few grew, and the reason has nothing to do with their topic.

Stephanie Baiocchi, Director of Events at IMPACT, joins Bob to dig into a report that tracked 100 high performing blogs from 2022 to today. Finance content dropped 99 percent. Parenting content grew. The difference comes down to Google's E-E-A-T framework, specifically the "Experience" piece, and whether the content could be replaced by AI. On this episode of Endless Customers, Bob Ruffolo talks with Stephanie about what separated the blogs that survived from the ones that collapsed, and what any business can borrow from it.
