One would hope there aren’t that many idiots in the world to give the nod to the HuffPo.. Did I say Hope? :-}
lol... even the libs are leaving the MSM :)
“I had a squadmate get busted down in rank for Huffing...”
Most of our visitors were trools and not the good ones
> Free Republic had the largest number of unique visitors in September 2007
“unique” means..?
Huffington has millions of dollars, celebrity & politico bloggers, actual reporters and thousands of links. We have donations. It’s amazing that we can even compete with them at all.
I don’t see how the Drudge Report counts as a conservative web site. Drudge just posts articles and links to articles. There are not reader responses at all.
Not hard to manufacture traffic if you have the $$$$.
There is more to this story.
I’ll bet FR, Reynolds&PJM, LGF, Townhall, etc, have probably sent more ‘unique visitors’ to pestholes like Kos and Huffpo than they have regulars. Headers like ‘Kos Hits Bottom, Digs’ sometimes pique the curiosity. Watching Huffpo disable comments on all Palin stories confirms to me what their stories are worth. These are establishment democrat sites, and the quality of the traffic no doubt reflects that. In my opinion they’re mainly troll hives.
The Huffington Post-where the vacuous ‘elite’ meet LOL!
Huff is just the latest fad for the goofballs. It was only a couple of years ago it was Kos. Before that, even DUh got a lot of traffic. Two years from now it’ll be some other new kid on the block. Meanwhile, FR keeps on trucking like it has for ten+ years.
I’m in the disbelieving camp on the concept that HuffPo gets more traffic than Drudge.
And that would be generous calling Drudge a ‘right wing site’. It’s a freaking news site. No editorials. No forums. Just links to the MSM. How ‘right wing’ of Drudge...
I think Digg has something to do with Huff Po’s hits.
he more vile the postings the more people report it causing others to go there to see it for themselves. The trash who run the Huffington Post knows this that's why they allow such garbage.
I wonder how much of an effect the downtime put into these numbers... If it was close at all, I’m sure the 4 or 5 total days of outage would have allowed us to blow them away...
When outlets like NBC and CNN refer to the Huffington Post as a legitimate news source, of course they’re going to see a traffic uptick. The Ill informed voter then goes there and gets usurped by the slant.
And when the numbers get pulled in normal mid-term election years where the media doesn’t turn into an American Idol season, they’re going to drop like a rock.
The turnout percentage in Georgia yesterday proves that. Democrats depend on a media circus and celebrity power to get their base to the voting booth to vote straight Dem ticket. Ludacris and Young Jeezy didn’t quite work to get the turnout on runoff day...
We’re going to win:
Scads of money often screws up a good little thing that’s growing —look at how many great military programs this happens to.
People here crosslink, research, dig around...they do it for FREE. You just can’t buy that kind of loyalty.
Thre are many thousands of us, now. I remember when there were just 30 threads per day on FR —now you can spool and spool alllll day long through them; the situation has changed completely.
Some day our numbers will be like the stars.
Let’s say they take down talk radio completely —what do you think would happend at FR...?
