Why would blog traffic have large drop after migrating from one social media site to another one

✨AI Mode 

"After migrating your blog's promotion from one social media site to another, a large drop in traffic is likely due to losing your established audience, diminished search engine optimization (SEO), and technical errors during the transition. Unlike web migrations, which often involve site architecture changes, this issue is centered on the shift in your traffic's source. 

"Loss of established audience
"The most immediate cause of a traffic drop is the inability to transfer your original audience to the new platform. 
  • Algorithms and content discovery: Algorithms on social media sites govern who sees your content. The rules of one platform don't apply to the next, so your new account must build authority from scratch to achieve the same reach.
  • Migration inertia: Followers do not always make the jump. Users who don't frequently check the old platform may miss your migration announcements, and some may simply prefer to remain on the original site.
  • Loss of visibility: Your content will lose visibility on the old platform. The old account, with all its posts and backlinks, is now a stagnant resource that is no longer actively driving traffic to your blog. 
"Diminished SEO value
"Social media signals can indirectly boost a blog's SEO, and moving platforms disrupts these signals. 
  • Broken backlinks (link rot): Older posts on your previous social media profile that linked to your blog now point to an unmaintained account. Even if you redirect your social media profile, the old links can lose authority.
  • Loss of engagement signals: Search engines like Google have historically used social engagement (likes, shares, comments) as signals to help rank content. Migrating platforms effectively resets these signals, and your new account will not initially have the social proof your old one did. 
"Technical and logistical errors
"Mishandling the transition can create technical problems that impede traffic. 
  • Unchanged or improper links: Any direct links to your social media account in your blog's footer, author box, or 'share' buttons need to be updated. Forgetting to update these will redirect users to the old, inactive page.
  • Bot traffic vs. real traffic: After a migration, you may see your overall traffic dip, even if some referral traffic from the new platform exists. It is important to distinguish between human users and search engine bots, which may take time to fully adjust to the change in social signaling. 
"How to recover from a traffic drop
"To regain traffic, focus on re-establishing your presence on the new platform while addressing the root causes of the decline.
  • Communicate the move: Create prominent announcements on your blog and other platforms to ensure your audience knows where to find you.
  • Redirect and update all links: Go through your blog and any other marketing materials to replace all links pointing to your old social media account with links to the new one.
  • Use social media to build new links: Use the new platform to promote your blog and earn fresh links. Focus on high-quality, engaging content that encourages users to click through and share.
  • Monitor and adjust: Use analytics tools to track where traffic is coming from. If the new platform isn't performing, adjust your strategy to focus on other channels or different content formats.

  1. [Tried to paste above ai_mode response, verbatim, so as to maintain links to sources, and that works but sources within summary won't click through…]
  2. […panel containing the sources remains as well as the rest of the whole ai_mode page, shadowed, active, and overlaying the blog post page…]
  3. [not sure whether caused by Google product —ai_mode —being introduced to another Google product —blogger…]
  4. […or some id issues at play because links do contain material like sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8&udm=50&fbs= etc…]
  5. [ai_overview couldn't parse the search term, Why would blog traffic have large drop after migrating from one social media site to another one, properly because the way it's worded is confusing, but ai_mode could and did…]
  6. [After reviewing the sources which ai_mode used to write its summary above, all of those sources involve website migration and not social media migration…]
  7. [Refresh gives new intro: "Moving blog promotion from one social media site to another can lead to a large drop in traffic because you lose your built-up audience and must contend with a new platform's unique algorithm. Your old, established social media profile was a direct channel of traffic, and that stream does not automatically transfer to a new account."]
  8. [Refresh still gives website migration results, but includes, now, info about social media migration… however, the two types of migration are treated as separate issues involving strictly one or the other migration as cause of drop in its traffic and not an affect on the other's traffic…]

  10. [All this, keeping in mind, we're not trying to chat about this; we're trying to connect an action on one platform to a result on another…]
  11. [both the sources and the summary presented by ai_mode are incomplete, not up to the task so far…]
  12. [other reasons in traffic drop can involve something like upcoming holiday, etc… but neither ai_mode nor ai_overview, in my limited experience, have ever deviated from central, mainstream, on-point material to branch out to other sources that would suggest alternatives…]
  13. [I've never witnessed ai_mode or ai_overview brainstorm a search term…]
  14. [All this reinforces my experience so far that most AI additions to domestic, civilian, ordinary, everyday apps are superfluous unless you want to interlace all these tools into your very own personal agent who learns your context and can then brainstorm with you…]
  15. [of course that requires sacrificing every bit of your privacy to the agent's real owner who is not you even though you may be the purchaser…]
  16. [even without AI, trying to find out today's weather on teh internets nowadays involves dodging 20 or so interlopers and the constant requests by the website itself to migrate itself into my phone as an app…]
  17. [Good example of appropriate android UX combined with AI might be the perfection of autocorrect and/or autocomplete… more challenging would be cursor movement …or even Gboard itself?]

"Although a nuclear confrontation based on fake intelligence may seem unlikely, the stakes during crises are high and timelines are short, creating situations where fake data could well tilt the balance toward nuclear war. "The evolution of nuclear systems has led to further ambiguity in crises and shorter timeframes for verifying intelligence. An intercontinental ballistic missile from Russia could reach the U.S. within 25 minutes. A submarine-launched ballistic missile could arrive even sooner.  "Many modern missiles carry ambiguous payloads, making it unclear whether they are nuclear-tipped. AI tools for verifying the authenticity of content are not sufficiently reliable, making this ambiguity difficult to resolve in a short window. "The likeliest nuclear hotspots are also the arenas involving actors with low levels of trust on both sides — be that the U.S. and the Chinese Communist Party or Russia, or India and Pakistan. Even if communication is established in a...

Swarm 🦹‍♂️

"Knowledge discovery from data typically includes solving some type of an optimization problem that can be efficiently addressed using algorithms belonging to the class of evolutionary and bio-inspired computation .  "In this chapter, we give an overview of the various kinds of evolutionary algorithms, such as genetic algorithms, evolutionary strategy, evolutionary and genetic programming, differential evolution, and coevolutionary algorithms, as well as several other bio-inspired approaches, like swarm intelligence and artificial immune systems.  "After elaborating on the methodology, we provide numerous examples of applications in astronomy and geoscience and show how these algorithms can be applied within a distributed environment, by making use of parallel computing, which is essential when dealing with Big Data."

Digital ID tracking system

The U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has moved forward with regulations establishing a smartphone-based national digital ID and tracking system, disregarding objections from organizations like the Identity Project. These new rules are based on the REAL-ID Act of 2005 and set the standards for how states will issue digital versions of driver’s licenses or ID cards, which will be accepted by the TSA and other federal agencies for certain official purposes. However, these rules do not extend to airline travel, where no ID is legally required, despite the TSA’s misleading statements to the contrary. Under the TSA’s new regulations, digital IDs can only be issued to individuals who already possess a physical driver’s license or state-issued ID card. Additionally, individuals are still obligated by state laws to carry their physical ID while driving, even if they have a digital ID on their smartphone.  This shift is not primarily about improving driver’s license technolo...
