Hello.

I just received an answer to my old request to Fandom regarding the monthly number of individual visitors to our wiki. (We already automatically receive the monthly page view statistics.)

"Hi there, & I apologize for getting back to you so late on this! We were able to get approval to share as a single-time request.

Also quick note - we no longer use Google Analytics. We switched over to a service called Amplitude in 2023, so we are only able to pull numbers from then on.

The highest number of visitors for a single month was actually last month, July 2025, with 1.82m visitors. The next highest was May 2025 with 1.78m. In 2024, the highest was August with 1.63m, & in 2023, the highest was December with 1.25m.

Hope that helped!"

So, 1.82 million individual visitors just for the last month. Not bad at all, I think. 🙏🙂

And these are all unique visitors? Not repeats? Quite impressive.

Given how often I'm seeing vs battles casually mentioned or alluded to on social media like Twitter or in YouTube videos nowadays, I guess it's no surprise it is seemingly gaining more traffic.
 
That is the number of unique visitors for our last month alone, if I have understood correctly, yes. We had around 8.6 million page views for our wiki last month, if I remember correctly, but with the page views for our forum included, we reached around 10.5 million page views last month. 🙏

Glad to see the growth, I am curious though how it counts unique visitors?

For example, does account matter, and does a vpn affect it? (don't answer, I am just having some random shower thoughts)

There are ways they can tell when VPNs are used (especially if people are logged in), but even without it, idk if people use VPNs and change the IP they present often enough for that to really make it more than 1% off.

That's a lot!

The people that criticize us the most, are often the same ones who visit us the most.

Ironic isn't it?. Human behaviour and reasoning are fascinating....

Well, a part of them probably want us to change for the better, much like I dislike much of the overall narrative thematics of Marvel Comics, but like several of the characters in themselves. Of course, a large part of us also want to change for the better, but every single positive change requires very extreme amounts of work. 🙏
 
On Reddit, TikTok, Quora, Telegram, Twitter, Discord, and especially on Facebook, I often see many people using the “VS Battle” site as a reference for power scaling certain characters. So it’s no surprise that our growth has been very rapid, making it one of the most frequently visited sites. Glad to hear that 🫡

It may not be particularly great in terms of the internet as a whole, but I think other places trying to serve our segment end up with worse SEO. While mobile layout viewing matters, it's ultimately only one factor. I don't think other forums like Spacebattles or Fanverse would be doing too much SEO, Tiktok is largely absent from search engine results, Quora/Reddit/YouTube can get on top for specific questions but don't cover many characters in general ways like we do (at least in search-engine accessible ways, respect threads need to pretty much specifically be searched for). Other wikis may have a better mobile experience, but I don't think that outweighs the greater popularity/activity/resources we have as a whole; if you search for "How strong is X", other sources will pop up if it's a huge battleboarding character, but otherwise we end up in the top 3 results.

(Note: This is just based on my general knowledge of SEO/powerscaling, and some experimentation with various searches)
 
Okay. Thank you for the information.

I still hope that Just_a_Random_Butler manages to figure out how to properly program a script for applying a SEO-enhancing/mobile-friendly infobox format to our pages though. 🙏
 
Yeah, @Phoenks is right here. Back in 2023 and before that when I was not a member here I didn't see VSB mentioned all that much in common discourse regarding anime in general (it was mentioned a lot in powerscaling/battleboarding spaces but that's not all too surprising), now however I've noticed a dramatic shift at least anecdotally. I see far more anime-watchers, even casual ones, talking about the versus battle wiki in some capacity at least and even making references to specific profiles and threads (as a side note, my father himself frequents the site a lot and knows I'm here). So yeah, these numbers reflect what I and I suspect many others have observed.
 
Okay, that is good, but unfortunately I personally think that our DC and especially Marvel Comics statistics seem like an exaggerated and disorganised mess. 🙏

I've tried this on multiple platforms myself, anything powerscaling related and I'll always get the first or second links being either VSB threads or even actual profiles. It's actually remarkable how much reach this platform has.
 
Okay. That is potentially good, I suppose, but it also increases our collective responsibility to provide as reliable information as possible, especially for highly prominent frachises that are largely a mess, such as Marvel Comics. 🙏

People doesn't seem to like the Idea of Cap's shield being more higher tier durability than Superman.

Yeah, I wasn't quite sure about Meiou's claim, so I searched a Discord server I was in, and found some casual non-battleboarding users talking about vsbw.

Alas, they were largely talking about how laughably wrong some profiles were (in that case, Touhou (idk the series so I have no view on whether they are actually wrong)).

I hope we can improve profiles such that viewers, at the very least, find our profiles surprisingly accurate.
 
I do not think some popular (Or debatable if actually popular given everything could be arguably mixed) offsite opinions should really should be to worried; and for every verse people complain about being "Grossly exaggerated", there are also Discord complaints about verses being grossly downplayed. But not on topic.

I know Ultima plans to get the 1-A Marvel ratings from Skyfather scaling downgraded to High 1-B. As for DC, not sure how that's going to go at the moment aside from the various characters 1-A keys getting downgraded to 2-C.

Hopefully sharing this won't be a problem, but here's something that hammers this even further. Someone on a completely unrelated subreddit related to military aviation recognized me from VSB when the conversation is entirely different (China's aeroengine industry)

It’s not an uncontroversial opinion to have, given that the profiles are fairly dated and dating back to this site’s inception.

Cosmology just needs to be updated really. Profiles are also filled with some dated information. Thanks in part to ZUN making major reveals as of late that warrant sweeping updates to nearly every page.

Some people dislike our site simply because their favorite character isn’t rated as highly as they’d like, not necessarily because we’re doing something fundamentally wrong. Biases, opinions, and different points of view will always exist, and powerscaling is ultimately subjective it shouldn’t be taken personally. As long as claims are backed by verifiable evidence, disagreement comes down to interpretation. For example, I personally consider the Battle of Gods (2013) movie canon to Dragon Ball GT based on multiple official sources (Chozenshu timelines, movie guides, producer statements, etc.). Others here may disagree because it disrupts the timeline, but Dragon Ball canon has always been loose, as Toyotaro and Torishima have both said. People are free to come to their own conclusions, even if that means disregarding certain official sources.

That’s why we shouldn’t let outside criticism dictate how we operate. It’s true that we sometimes lag in areas like staff voting, scan interpretations, or reliance on certain statements, and some external critiques are fair. But we shouldn’t overhaul our standards just because someone from a given fandom dislikes our ratings.

Instead, if critics present their reasoning politely and with strong evidence, we can evaluate it and adjust accordingly. Constructive debate should guide improvement, not hostility or bandwagon hate.
