Things to do to help FR get a higher ranking:

1) Make more hits on FR.

2) Respond to a good post.

3) Make FR your home page, so you get a hit when you open your web browser.

4) Send an FR discussions link to a friend who might be interested. Encourage them to sign up to FR.

Where can I get a bumper sticker?!! I would slap on that baby on my car bumper in a heartbeat!!

Do the stats in the article reflect hits only on FR's main page? I very rarely go through the main page; my FR link is to the 'Latest Posts' page.

incredibly vulgar language

This seems to be the standard way liberals communicate with one another -- at least when on line.

What are the ranking charts actually measuring? There isn't an Eschelon system tabulating all web site accesses, is there?

Bartcop is a steaming turd...

They use every hit on every page of the site. Just posting a response can get FR a few more hits.

Sweet!

Thanks for the info. I wasn't sure on that.

I never realized Free Republic was that high up in the rankings. There are hundreds of thousands of websites out there but only 1250 websites get more hits than Free Republic! When you consider the millions of dollars being poured into websites such as Amazon.com, Google, Yahoo! and WIRED, you gain an appreciation for the enormity of this achievement.

A review of DU shows a very open forum, allowing (and perhaps encouraging) incredibly vulgar language. The users of Freerepublic.com are held to strict limits on vulgar language, and freerepublic’s posters generally have a sharp sense of humor and fun.

For all the crap Free Republic gets for its moderators and so-called "censorship", we can all be thankful that we are not the cesspool that is DU. And that's just what this website would become if we didn't police it.

Thanks for the info! That means our Breaking News threads like today that went well over 1,000 will really help with the hits!

Want to make this the #1 political site!

[LurkerNoMore!]

bump for good measure

[PhiKapMom]

Take a look! We really added to the total today thanks to Blix, Powell, etc.

[Palladin]

Thanks....this is a very interesting report.
