How an AI-generated wiki hit 1.1 million monthly organic visits in 90 days \u2014 then watched Google, ChatGPT, and AI Overviews erase it almost as fast.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

In the summer of 2025, grokipedia.com was a ghost. Its Ahrefs profile<\/a> showed fewer than 60 indexed pages and single-digit organic traffic. By February 2026 it had become one of the fastest-scaling information sites on the internet, drawing more than 1.16 million estimated monthly organic visits across nearly 911,000 indexed pages. By April 2026 the same data showed traffic crashing below 210,000 \u2014 a collapse of more than 80% in under two months.<\/p>\n

This is the story of that rocket ride and hard landing, told through the numbers \u2014 and what it reveals about the new, deeply entangled relationship between Google rankings, AI Overviews, and ChatGPT citations.<\/p>\n
