🎯 Accurate Picture: Non-Organic vs Organic Performance

June 2025 vs October 2024 Baseline (No Double-Counting):

  • Non-Organic Traffic: 876 reg (+108%), 510 dep (+1%), 698 camp (+101%)
  • Organic Traffic: 134 reg (-24%), 94 dep (-80%), 97 camp (-79%)

Key Insight: Non-organic traffic largely recovering (5 out of 6 metrics above baseline). Organic traffic needs volume recovery through continued SEO deployment + infrastructure optimization.

Data Pattern: Non-organic traffic shows strong recovery trajectory. Organic traffic conversion efficiency improved per visitor (+26.7%) but absolute volumes need traffic recovery and infrastructure support.

Volume Analysis: All traffic shows much higher registration volume (527-1,045 monthly) vs organic (88-176 monthly). May 2025 convergence (111% both) during SEO launch demonstrates platform-wide infrastructure factors.

Conversion Analysis: Both sources declining from peaks, but organic maintains higher efficiency rates throughout most periods until convergence in May 2025.

Complete Picture Analysis: While registrations show growth (all traffic +91.7%, organic +24.1% in June), depositor and campaign volumes remain significantly below historical peaks across both traffic sources. This supports Ben's point that success requires all three metrics above peak levels.
