Bitcoin Forum

Hi All,
Recently I renewed the subscription of analytical software which I was using a while ago when I was more actively involved in online marketing.
So I decided to run report for Bitcointalk.Org and share it with you, along with some interesting observations.

http://cryptotexty.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Bitcointalk1.png

As you can see BitcoinTalk is #2279 in Ahrefs rank. They rank sites based on size and quality of the backlink profile so Bitcointalk is #2279 among all the existing sites. (For example #1 is facebook, #2 is Twitter, Google is #7, complete rank you can check here (https://ahrefs.com/ahrefs-top). This number is very good, taking to account how many huge websites exist nowadays

Bitcointalk has 24 million+ of backlinks, and is ranking by the number of 1.2Million+ keywords.
Bitcointalk has more than 1 million monthly organic traffic (traffic which comes from search engines, of course overall traffic is much bigger)

PDF site overview is available by the link (http://cryptotexty.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/bitcointalk.org-24-Aug-2018_08-59-49-e3a444a0d2f627152e6b22b284551bc5.pdf)

Now, regarding organic traffic it is interesting to check which keywords are bringing the most traffic to Bitcointalk, which keywords are in the top.

To be honest I was surprised to see that #1 is not "bitcointalk" (which is the second) but "superchillin" which brings 15,466 monthly visitors.
Another keyword which I didn't expect is in Russian "пopнoлaб" (pornlab) which brings 2,7K+ visitors a month

I did also a report in CSV with 1000 keywords, you can find them here (http://cryptotexty.com/wp-admin/upload.php?item=327)


And here is the "Top pages", in a way this section correlates with Top keywords.

I hope this data was useful, let me know your thoughts

Why superchillin on top 1? I though keyword "Bitcoin Forum" is on top 1, since its more accurate than superchillin.

SuperChillin is the top keyword to the thread called "If you want to Buy a SuperChillin Account, Read this First.... (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1544740)" (for obvious reasons). Looks like a lot of new visitors found this forum when searching for a SupperChillin account. But this isn't really accurate.

"SuperChillin" (Never heard this word before) just has much bigger search volume and bigger amount of traffic
So it brings more traffic than "bitcoin forum" keyword. Yes, it's strange but that's how it is.

As a person with a decent background with online marketing(SEO, etc), honestly my mind is blown due to the data you've given.

1. 24 million backlinks. The online marketer's dream.
2. A sort of random topic post that barely has any replies to it has the highest keyword volume here on bitcointalk. Like what the hell. I was expecting something along the lines of "bitcoin wallet safety" or "What is an airdrop" or something like that but instead the highest is "SuperChillin." 83,000 in volume too! Compared to "bitcointalk" only at 15,000. That's definitely a significant difference. Baffling, for sure.

There's gotta be a reason for this.  Somebody find out what offsite spam marketing campaign this guy was using!

I don't have an idea either. It doesn't even seem like something that should be racking up that huge of a volume. Googling "superchillin" and taking a look at the first page's results doesn't even give you a clear idea on what superchillin actually is. Definitely quite fishy.

Yes, good amount of backlinks, but I was not surprised, as this is the most important forum on this topic with huge amount of user generated content. Even bounty threads and stupid comments from the point of search engines they generate content
Also lots of reputable sources link to Bitcointalk threads (i.e. on most of cryptos on Coinmarketcap there is a link to BTT ANN thread)

Exactly, I haven't even heard much of this SuperChillin' thread before, didn't knew it existed.

I checked out the website traffic in other site called, similarweb, and I don't find the word superchillin' anywhere.

Here's the data I found: https://www.similarweb.com/website/bitcointalk.org#overview

The top 5 keywords include claymore and bitcointalk. I am really surprised it doesn't include "satoshi"  or "bounty", or "airdrop".

Yes, I also thought that "bounty" and "airdrop" would be somewhere in the top.
Here is what I found about these keywords (please note that is it US, Google.com ranking, of course combined traffic from all googles is much bigger

And about "Superchillin" - I checked that thread - that's old topic from 2016 which had only 1 page but the thread has 84K+ views
So definitely it's receiving good amount of traffic, even if Ahrefs' data is not accurate.

That's interesting research and observation
And it's pleasant to see that Bitcointalk has so much traffic
Together we'll move it even higher!

Thank you everyone for attention and comments!
I didn't expect such amount of merits!
In some time (I think in several month) I will make site analysis once again and I think it will be interesting to observe the change, stats, etc.

You did an excellent job! I really liked your research. I am sure that the traffic of the bitcointalk site and its popularity will only grow. I hope you will soon share some interesting statistical information with us again.

Huge gratitude for statistics for the community!
I think that the forum will continue to be the leader!
+Mepiт for You!

I studied the data published by Floder and your findings, and decided to look at another famous resource (serpstat.com). To my surprise, the data I found was very interesting. First of all, I did find the word 'superchillin'. Although, it isn`t #1, but #9 and refers to the topic mentioned by TryNinja (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1544740.0). What is striking, 'bitcointalk' is not even under the second, but under the third number.

'Claymore' is #10. And #1 is 'generalt' which refers to this account (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=354479).

I, by the way, did not even know about the existence of "Ahrefs rank".
Others used the services of statistics. But this one is new to me.

Found this thread in the list of "Top-merited recent topics", thought it would be fun to look this forum up in SEMrush, it provides pretty accurate results, in my opinion. That's what I got:

https://preview.ibb.co/m7Ypuz/talk1.jpg (https://ibb.co/d997ge)

For me, it was very interesting to see that even now, when the market doesn't look very promising, this forum receives a lot of attention. I think, it's a good sign. And it was surprising for me, too, to find out that out of top 10 keywords bringing traffic to BCT, only 3 are bitcoin-related. Others are about gaming, gambling and even porn. Looks like this forum is more about "sex, drugs and rock'n'roll", you know :D

Thanks! You see here there is also this tricky keyword "superchillin"  :)

Yeah, I didn't even know what it was :) had to google it. Turned out it's one of those websites where you can watch movies online for free. Again, nothing related to bitcoin or crypto   ;D

Interesting that this site is closed, just read on their Reddit "The website has been closed down and will not return."
So no wonder that Bitcointalk ranks high for this keyword and receives good amount of traffic.
But this will change for sure. May be in half a year I will run Ahrefs report again and will post here results, it will be interesting to compare

The volume for "superchillin" has already started to decrease and "bitcoin forum" is significantly increasing. "bitcoin forum" will be in top over the span of time, IMO. Also, the main keyword "bitcointalk" and "bitcoin talk" has also a good growth.

I thought sperchillin wss a cold storage wallet until I read this thread. :)

No doubt the superchilling traffic will increase as a result of this topic. So Here goes -

Attention to all Super Chillers. Bitcoin is a great way to store and transfer wealth, and it is starting to be adopted by some of the major financial players. Read Bitcoin Talk, and grab some Bitcoin while you can. It will let you carry on chillin' for a few more years.

If anyone is curious, SuperChillin was a movie streaming site. A pirated version of Netflix, with a lot more movies and TV series.

They used the torrent to send the movies. But it had a UX more practical and easy to use than downloading the movie using piratebay. Similar to popcorntime, but without the need for software.

Many people sold invitations to the site using Bitcoin as payment. And when it was closed many people started to sell invitations to similar sites also by Bitcoin. Since paypal seemed to block some negotiations. There are still similar websites, like xrpflix. And continue with the same scheme, someone who has an account needs to invite you.

Good points)
But I don't think this topic will influence superchillin traffic, we don't have "superchillin" here in topic)
By the way it might be good name for one of the numerous altcoins))
Real-use-case token - paying for streaming, paying for membership at Superchilin site.
Hollywood companies will be able to join it and receive some SPCH from others streaming their movies (as anyway their movies are already uploaded)

As for Netflix, I had 1 free month, then 1 time I prolonged my membership, but then had to cancel, as I just watched all the interesting films for me. Their base of films is quite small..
