Trump trounces Biden in campaign site traffic, thanks to far-right outlets
Axios ^

Posted on 08/11/2020 8:47:58 AM PDT by MNDude

Traffic to President Trump's presidential campaign website is more than 4x greater than traffic to Joe Biden's presidential campaign website, thanks in large part to traffic referrals from right-wing outlets like The Gateway Pundit and Citizen Free Press, according to data from SimilarWeb.

Why it matters: The data speaks to the enormous role the far-right web plays in promoting the president's ideas and his re-election campaign.

Web traffic to campaign websites is important because it can help campaigns fundraise, sell merchandise, and rally enthusiasm amongst voters. Details: Nearly 60% of traffic to Trump's website from May to July of this year came from The Gateway Pundit, a far-right news and opinion website that has a reputation for spreading falsehoods and conspiracies, and Citizen Free Press, a fringe-right website that links out to stories using hyper-partisan headlines.

Meanwhile, the majority of traffic to Joe Biden's website (over 65%) in May and June came from the Democrats' online fundraising platform ActBlue.

MSM is about 99% far-Left extremist.

But the real problem is Gateway Pundit.

Uh huh. Sure.

“far-right web”

~~~

I don’t go to the sites cited in the article, but someone correct me if I’m wrong, I have a feeling these sites are not nearly as far to the right as axios would. Are these really fringe sites? Or is Axios trying to imply a vast right wing conspiracy like some sort of impending doom

I believe that platform is directly tied to BLM. So, without the rioting, Biden would have almost nothing.

At least there is no bias in reporting..../S

I guess this figure doesn’t just reflect the mood of
the voters...

One benefit of having honest press on the right, who admit they have a dog in the fight, is promoting the candidate directly. No reason NYT and the rest of the left-wing media mob shouldn’t start directing traffic to Biden. Nobody believes they are objective anymore.

Fear not dems. All the polls from CNN, FoxNews, Washington Post show Biden is trouncing the President.

Far right equals:

Believes in borders
Supports *all* rights guaranteed by the Constitution
Believes that there are only two sexes/genders
Believes that one cannot change his/her sex/gender
Believes that all who are physically capable should be gainfully employed

BLM has billions to give Democrats (or keep for themselves)

It’s always hilarious to read a far-Left website whose owners clearly do not understand the medium they’re working in.

There are many more far-left outlets, including Axios, yet left-pandering Joe gets no traffic. How come?

Far Right believes in law and order

Far Right supports the local sheriff

Far Right believes that criminals engaged in assault, looting, and arson should be arrested, charged, and prosecuted.

Far Right believes that prisoners should remain in prison until their sentence is served.

The middle (according to Axios and others) is somewhere between the Green Party and Antifa these days.
