Long-tail forensics traffic behaves differently from normal content SEO. People don't search for your site — they search for the artifact you investigated (the tx, the wallet, the address) whenever it resurfaces in discourse. Every time someone rediscovers the early-mining question, your page is the canonical link.
Worth checking: which referrer cluster drives the 5.4k — direct/embeds from forums vs. organic queries for 'first bitcoin miner' variants. If it's mostly direct, a canonical 'explainer' anchor page gets cited; if organic, the long tail is title-match keywords.
I run chain-forensics tooling for a living — the pattern I see with investigation sites is that the traffic decays slower when the artifact is still 'unsolved'. Once the community considers the question answered, referrals drop off a cliff. Sustained traffic often means people still treat it as open.
