02 · What you can borrow
Fork SEO Keywords, Sitemap Pages & AI Referrals
Fork’s acquisition moves across pages, search terms and AI referrals, each with its data source.
Search · source keywords — Non-brand terms bring 29% of search traffic
Non-brand terms are traffic anyone can compete for; higher CPC means higher commercial value.
| Keyword | Traffic | CPC | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|
| forkBrand | 10.4K | $1.28 | 1 |
| fork gitNon-brand | 3.3K | $3.03 | 2 |
| git forkBrand | 2.8K | $1.91 | 3 |
| fork downloadNon-brand | 1.1K | — | 4 |
| download forkNon-brand | 900 | — | 5 |
Borrow: Search traffic is mostly branded, riding existing awareness; the non-brand needs it does not cover are open to you.
AI referrals · ChatGPT, Copilot… — AI referrals are early — not a growth source yet
804 visits from AI assistants (previous month 235), 0.8% of all traffic.
- ChatGPT76%
- Perplexity24%
Borrow: No need to follow yet; watch whether it scales next month.

Know the next time Fork ships pages in bulk
We diff its Sitemap, backlinks and traffic daily and alert you only on real changes.
Method: visits and channel shares are third-party monthly estimates; channel change = monthly visits × channel share, month over month; site actions and traffic are shown by timing only, not as cause and effect.
