AI Referral Traffic Is the Least Valuable Thing AI Sends You

A contrarian take from nikvassev: AI referral traffic in your analytics is the least valuable thing AI sends you. A ChatGPT citation brings a cold, low-intent click converting under 2% — basically Google traffic with a nicer user agent. Of all AI referral traffic, ChatGPT drives 75%, Gemini 11.6%, Perplexity 7.2%, Copilot 3.5%, Claude 2.6%. The real conversion happens inside the answer itself.
