# Sites where “javascript” is a top search keyword

One site on record lists “javascript” among the searches that send it the most visitors, by traffic estimates. It is searched about **1M** times a month on Google, worldwide (Google Ads, Sept 2026), at about $3.13 a click in search ads: a month of its searches would cost about **$3.1M** as search ads. Each site checked on the [backlink value checker](https://mxverify.uk/backlink-value) adds its top five search keywords, so this list grows as sites are checked.

### What the data says

- Demand is down on the year, now levelling off: Google searches for “javascript” fell 33% (1.5M to 1M) from Oct 2025 to Sept 2026.
- The listed site takes about 28.3K visits a month from “javascript”, 10% of its 296.4K searches (traffic estimates). The other 90% goes to sites not on record here, or ends without a click.
- From Aug 2026 to Sept 2026: developer.mozilla.org lost most (30K → 28.3K).
- At $3.13 a click (Google Ads), the listed sites' 28.3K visits a month from “javascript” would cost about $88.4K as search ads. That is what the traffic would cost to buy, not what it earns.
- The two sources differ about 3 times for Sept 2026: Google Ads counts 1M searches, the traffic estimates 296.4K. Read each for its trend, not as an exact count.

| Keyword difficulty | 9 | 91 of 100 (US) · weight 50% |
| First-page strength | 5 | median Ahrefs DR 95 · weight 50% |

### What to do with it

- Strong demand but a hard first page (ease 7): aim at its related searches first and build links before the head term.
- Google answers part of it in an AI Overview: the pages it cites get a link above the results.
- The listed sites take 10% of its searches: most of the traffic goes to sites not on record here.

A business score needs your own figures (conversion, deal value) and is not made here. Scores are fixed formulas over the figures shown; they are not Google's.

Listed A–Z. A top search keyword is one of the searches that bring a site the most visitors, by estimate. It is not a position in Google, and the order here is not a ranking. Visits (est.): the traffic estimate's own figure for the keyword on that site, which behaves like visits a month, not an amount of money (2026-09-29: it had been shown in dollars). Ad value is what advertisers pay for the keyword — its searches × cost per click — not how hard it is to rank for. This page is kept out of search results until 15 sites share the keyword.

Searches, cost per click and ad value above: Google Ads, worldwide. Sites and their visits: third-party traffic estimates, Sept 2026. The traffic estimates' own searches figure for the keyword is in the section below; the two sources often differ several times over.
