I am what you would graciously call a website traffic geek. I have looked at Matt Drudge’s actual traffic numbers, on Quantcast, every week for the past 12 years. Quantcast is a slice of javascript code you install in the header of your website and it counts every page view and visitor. It functions almost exactly the same as Google Analytics.
Matt Drudge used to average 1 billion page views per month, as he famously used to brag. Remember those headlines from 2016 — ‘Thanks a billion!’ He ran that same headline every 30 days for the entire year.
Now in 2020 Drudge Report is getting 475 million page views per month. Though the chart only shows the past 30 days, I can attest that his traffic has been in the 450-500 million range for several months in a row.
So Matty is down 53% from his peak.
And this at a time when his traffic should be going up headed into November.
Also, always remember Drudge uses an auto-page refresh every two minutes.

I sure wish Rush would stop showing his site on the dittocam.
Schade.
I don’t think he’s actually curator or editor anymore.
Good. Go down more.
Such a strange character. Something happened to him, and his site... but what???
More good news for our side, to reelect President Trump!
FR/Breitbart/The Liberty Daily/American Thinker/Revolver/Redstate.....It can be done.
There’s your real national poll number with Trump at 53%+.
I used to check it at least half a dozen times a day. I haven’t looked at it once in at least six months. Glad I’m doing my part....
I don’t think Drudge even owns the site anymore and has no editorial input.
He cashed out his decades of hard work.
Drudge was secretly sold off to leftist/MSM interests several years ago. It’s just another leftwing propaganda site now.
Drudge has an estimated net worth of $150 million. Even if that is off by a factor of 10, he couldn’t care less as long as he helps bring down Trump.
Three years I haven’t been there. And don’t own a TV so internet info is important to me.
Me too, checked it all the time, ive finally weaned my self off it completely.
He and Anorexic Annie
Frankly, FR's commenters are the best/better than pretty much any site around. FReepers are the best source of information content. I still fact-check and get into demolition derby-type arguments but it makes me smarter. This site bested every site during the pandemic and she continues besting the rest.
No. He’s pissed at Trump for some reason. He and Ann Coulter are best buds. I’m just glad I’m not the only one who doesn’t visit anymore.
Same here.. no more Drudge for me.
