<b>Today: where push subscribers come from</b>

Every push subscriber started with one tiny moment: a website asked "Allow notifications?" and they tapped yes. Understanding that moment explains everything about your traffic.

If a site got the "yes" with a clear, honest prompt, those subscribers tend to remember subscribing and stay responsive. If a site tricked them ("click Allow to continue" gates), the subscriber is confused and grumpy from minute one.

You rarely see how a network collected its list, but the symptoms show up in your numbers: tricked lists often click but never convert.

This is why testing different traffic sources matters so much. You're really testing how honestly each list was built.

<b>Try this:</b> next time a site begs for notification permission, notice whether the ask felt fair or sneaky. You're learning to read traffic quality from the inside out.
