so, as you can see, they have all gone down in the last year. the US based ones (curezone servers are in dallas and all global mods are in the US) took more pronounced hits to traffic.
my speculation on what has caused this is twofold.
first, obamacare. this explans the US sites being more affected. why? becasue once people got access to "regular medicine" or real medicine or however its viewed, they no longer sought DIY health info.
the second perpetrator in this decline is google. the benefit of a website like these was that they were a one stop shop for health issues and related items. the speed and reach of the search engines have eliminated this benefit by making the entire enternet a one stop shop. also, this method provides entire sites devoted to ones interests so that the information is more specialized and comprehensive.
mercolas success in all this is that it is run by a guru who has sole say over content. a dictatorship is a much more efficient machine than a committee. trust me on that.
earthclinic seems to have made more efforts into keeping their market share by venturing into other platforms, especially their use of youtube.
curezone is dependent on users in order to appear on other social media and platforms. its been a steady downhill for quite a while.
so no matter what the rumors are that you may hear, theres the facts and some experienced analysis. for what its worth.
