Popularity amongst the audience is the core factor behind any series getting a sequel. The fact that Noragami was renewed for a season 2 explains that it was since its initial release widely popular amongst the audience. Generally, season 1 tends to gain a vast audience than season 2 as many viewers loose interest by the time its sequel is release.

This, however, was not the case with Noragami where according to statistics its season 2 proved to be much more popular than season 1 and the google trends saw a spike of about 15% with its release.

Another way to determine the popularity of a series is to see their social media accounts status and activity.  This tells you a lot about the Noragami season 3 release date.

With its official website updated in 2019 about the rebroadcast of Noragami and its official twitter handle with about 109K followers tweeting in December 2019, it is safe to say that even though the accounts have been updated they failed to attract and interact with the viewers as they should have.

Merchandise also helps in calculating the popularity of a series. Even though till 2016, Noragami sold an impressive amount of products by 2018 these sales had considerably dropped with little to no new products being manufactured now.

The mange book series that this anime is based on was the 14th top-selling series in 2014 but after this large interval between its release, it has stooped low as well.

To conclude, the popularity of Noragami initially was rather overwhelming that it got renewed for a season 2 but now with a considerable span of time passed since the viewers were hooked to the series, many followers have turned away and its popularity is decreasing with every passing day.

Anime as it is known takes an ample amount of time and money to be produced. With over three million dollars being needed for its production, franchisees are always looking to profit and benefit from this investment.

As viewers tend to drop with every passing season, the likelihood of a third season is very unlikely as production houses are unwilling to take the risk of bearing the impact of a low box office rating.

This was the exact case with Noragami being renewed for season 2. The average sales of Noragami blu-ray season one were around 5K while they were dropped to 2K by the second season.

This was an about 60% drop witnessed which discouraged the production houses from looking up to produce a season three.

Based on the novel series Noragami, the volume 20 of manga sold over 140K copies but volume 21 made it to 120K sales only.

These figures for the sales of manga with every passing year have seen a major drop while the Noragami merchandise including up to four figures of Bishamon, Iki Hiyori, Kofuku, and Yato have only received minimal popularity and affirmative response by the viewers.

With up to 450 products associated with the anime series, only 20% are related to its season 2 even though it proved to be more popular than the first one.

TO sum up, even though the season 2 did well in the popularity aspect, it was not well received in the costs and sales department with all monetary aspects relating to the series witnessing a major drop in the values.
