All you do is [[spam]] confusion to [[Conservapedia]] readers, and young readers in particular are the biggest victims of your [[delusion]]s about your own qualifications and the [[neo-Nazi]] [[globalist]] rants you spam into Conservapedia.

== Traffic to Conservapedia: 2026 to 2036 ==
Your choice. Keep this in mind.
"Conservapedia.com is a niche, conservative wiki encyclopedia with relatively low and declining traffic. Based on recent data, it averaged approximately 85,000 monthly visits in 2025 (derived from August 2025 figures of ~87,000 visits, adjusted for reported month-over-month drops). This baseline reflects heavy reliance on search engine traffic (about 20–25% of traffic) and direct/referral sources, with a global rank in the low millions.
...traffic is likely to decline steadily.
*2026: ~12% decline
*2027: Additional ~15% decline
*2028–2036: ~18% annual decline
By 2036, traffic could stabilize at a minimal level (~10,000 monthly visits), resembling a small blog rather than a viable encyclopedia. This represents an ~87% cumulative drop from 2025, aligning with the site's historical niche status and the assumed headwinds.", Source: [https://sites.google.com/view/traffictoconservapedia/home Traffic to Conservapedia]

===Traffic to Conservapedia: 2011 to 2025===
:[[Conservapedia]] has dropped from #60,000 globally [https://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=User_talk:Aschlafly&diff=prev&oldid=2160384 in 2011] to #360,000 now under your "expertise" as an [[SEO]] "specialist". From 20,000+ daily to 2,900 daily now with about 3 active editors. I don't know how much further it can go down.
:And the criticism has only gotten worse from "more credible" sources, like [[United States Government]], for example. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|''Zelensky Must Go!'']]</sup> 21:25, September 22, 2025 (EDT)
:A little more than a year ago you & I spoke on the phone. We agreed that you, me, and Andy each had a daily following of about 5,000 readers, totaling about 15,000-18,000 daily visitors. In your [[narcissistic rage]], you wiped out mine, Andy's, and half of your own regular following. [https://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=User_talk%3ARobSmith&diff=2161009&oldid=2160019 Your open threats to do more harm to Conservapedia] are somewhat hollow and meaningless now. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|''Zelensky Must Go!'']]</sup> 21:38, September 22, 2025 (EDT)
:::My hands are largely tied as far as helping Conservapedia's SEO to a big degree. For example, my SEO recommendations to improve the website could be implemented in days, but I am not getting green light from Andy. Web traffic would go up by at least 20,000 to 30,000 monthly visits as a result. Using some computer programs, the current dead links could be replaced with Internet Archive links, the unused pictures could be deleted and the thin content pages that are stub pages, etc. could be deleted. These are all brakes on Conservapedia's SEO. Also, moving up to the latest version of MediaWiki would help Conservapedia's SEO. When you add all this up, this is about 300,000 yearly extra SEO visits. Normally, I would persist and get the green light from Andy, but I am no longer interested in doing this. I am pursuing other things now. Say goodbye to those 300,000 yearly extra web visits forever in all likelihood.
:::On top of this, there are the DDOS attacks.
:::As far as us talking on the phone again, in all likelihood, we will never talk on the phone again. I have no interest in doing so. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 21:46, September 22, 2025 (EDT)
::::Comgrats. With your DDoS clickbot attacks to promote yourself, and your admission to [[shadow banning]] active users with [[Negative SEO]], you managed to complete the Mission of [[Rationalwiki]] of turning [[Conservapedia]] from a conservative alternative to [[Wikipedia]] into a "small blog". And it didn't just happen overnite. It's been a long time in coming. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|''Zelensky Must Go!'']]</sup> 22:12, September 22, 2025 (EDT)
:::::RobSmith, you don't have a big following. [https://sites.google.com/view/userpages-counter/home The web visits to your user page are merely 200 visits per month, whereas the web visits to my user page are 2,000 page views a month]. And I don't believe you ever had a big following. But if you did, given Trump growing disappointment with Putin who he now calls "crazy", your Putinism would certainly harm any following you have from a website that gets half its web traffic from the USA. In addition, Russia is in decline and generally speaking people admire strong things and not weak things.
:::::The biggest threat I could make to the website is to simply not push for SEO reforms given that I am positive that my above mentioned SEO changes would make the web traffic of Conservapedia go up by 25,000 to 30,000 visits a month. By the way, your web pages that do rank high for various Google terms could lose their ranks fast by a SEO who improves the rankings of competing pages. A few links built to competing pages and "badda boom, badda bing" your articles lose SEO traffic from Google, Bing and other search engines. No negative SEO needed such as convincing web masters to delink from your articles in an ethical way. A talented SEO could make your articles lose their Google rankings in a number of ethical ways.
:::::One thing for sure. Don't come crying to me when your articles page views take a dive - which is going to happen if you persist in your present course. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 22:19, September 22, 2025 (EDT)
:::::One last thing, the website is under a DDOS attack. I am not using a clickbot. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 22:21, September 22, 2025 (EDT)
::::::Andy needs a new [[technical]] advisor if [[Conservapedia]] is to survive as a knowledge base (and some input on who to appoint, so the same error isn't repeated again). [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|''Zelensky Must Go!'']]</sup> 22:22, September 22, 2025 (EDT)
Wrong again, RobSmith. In 2024, I helped a leading website in the world with its SEO and its now getting over 1,000,000 web visits a month. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 22:30, September 22, 2025 (EDT)
:It's for Andy to decide after examining the [[fact]]s and [[data]]. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|''Zelensky Must Go!'']]</sup> 22:42, September 22, 2025 (EDT)
===Rob's following and its destruction by [[User:Conservative]] since June 2023===
Through the following graphs, we will measure the effects of internal [[Conservapedia]] [[trolling]] on web traffic which began [https://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=User_talk:RobSmith&diff=prev&oldid=1959051 June 30, 2023].

::Expect the traffic to go lower. I know the various web marketing technical indicators indicating that a website is on a declining trajectory and Conservapedia has them. Of course, if I convinced Andy to make some SEO changes and other changes like I did in the past, things would look much better. But I am no longer interested in doing this - despite the fact that my SEO recommendations would increase Conservapedia's SEO traffic by 20,000 to 30,000 visits a month and that is a conservative estimate.
::Abandon all hope! The SEO who helped a website in 2024 that now has 1,000,000 visits per month has spoken! [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 22:43, September 22, 2025 (EDT)

===more senseless [[trolling]] & [[harassment]]===
A key assumption of the below Conservapedia web traffic projections is me not lifting a finger to get Andy to implement my SEO recommendations which would cause the website to have about 300,000 more annual visits (20k to 30K extra monthly visits).
*2026: ~12% decline
*2027: Additional ~15% decline
*2028–2036: ~18% annual decline
By 2036, traffic could stabilize at a minimal level (~10,000 monthly visits), resembling a small blog rather than a viable encyclopedia. This represents an ~87% cumulative drop from 2025, aligning with the site's historical niche status and the assumed headwinds.", Source: [https://sites.google.com/view/traffictoconservapedia/home Traffic to Conservapedia]
Just by me doing nothing and not lifting a finger to improve the websites SEO any longer, all your high hopes of becoming as well-known as Socrates, Plato and Machiavelli are smashed to smitherines! [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 23:37, September 22, 2025 (EDT)
:'''Query:''' [https://grok.com/share/c2hhcmQtNA%3D%3D_e24e9092-9129-4bf6-b0d5-bf3dedcebdc1 Conservapedia.com has about 58,000 pages. Approximately how much SEO traffic a month is Conservapedia.com losing a month due to its thin content problem, dead link problem and it not having the most recent version of MediaWiki?]
:Summary: Assuming fixes could double SEO performance based on similar wiki optimizations, Conservapedia is likely forfeiting 20,000-30,000 visits monthly—enough to boost total traffic by 25-35%.
:That's about 300,000 web visits a year. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 23:45, September 22, 2025 (EDT)
This loss of traffic has happened since my desysopping in 2011, which Andy has admitted was his mistake of listening to you.
After my re-sysoping, rankings stabilized and even improved somewhat - until your bloated head & [[ego]] got offended cause I got tired of you sticking your know-nothing nose in conversations about a subject you didn't even have a junior high school understanding of.
If you had any qualms about my writing on [[American foreign policy]], there were more than a dozen ways to engage on the subject. But you didn't use them. You chose to target an individual editor for harassment (thinking you were dealing with [[PZ Myers]] or some [[idiot]] stooge you engaged with in the past). You were wrong. And when asked by me or Andy to stop, you doubled, tripled, quadrupled, and quintupled down, convinced of your own [[righteousness]]. And the net effect is you killed [[Conservapedia]].
And you still don't care, cause your own self-image comes before Conservapedia.

===[[spamming]] & [[trolling]] part 2===
:::We'll see how well RobSmithpedia does in the coming years. With me no longer pushing Andy to implement SEO improvements to Conservapedia and Russia's economy probably seeing big troubles within 2 years, the SS RobSmithpedia will probably be as mighty as Russia's only aircraft carrier the Admiral Kuznetsov [https://x.com/NavyLookout/status/1944021445379555732 which is likely to be dismantled or sold!] [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 00:20, September 23, 2025 (EDT)
