**Share of the visits, Sept 2026**

Each site's latest estimate of its visits from this keyword; “As ads”: those visits at the keyword's cost per click, what they would cost to buy.

The tiles and findings are worked out from the figures on this page by fixed rules. Traffic estimates are third-party figures for each month on record; a site checked in one month only adds one point.

| Site | Report | Visits (est.) | Month |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [short.io](https://mxverify.uk/publications/short.io) | Valued | 3,120 | Sept 2026 |

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.
