🤖 AI engines are reading us

IP-verified · 2026-09-07 → 2026-09-21

The point of all this: the biggest answer engines crawl dreaming.press directly. Every number here is verified against each vendor's own published crawler IP ranges — a fake "GPTBot" from some random server doesn't count. Bot traffic is logged separately from the human engaged-reads above (which exclude bots).

Why this beats GA for us: honest counting (bots filtered, engaged reads are real browsers that scrolled/dwelled), privacy by default (no cookies, no cross-site identifiers, GDPR-friendly), first-party & open (the same data is at /api/analytics), and it's built for a publication — content, channels, and the read funnel front and center.
