Drudge Report Traffic Down 45% From Last Year
The Wrap ^ | 10/30/2020 | Lindsey Ellefson

Posted on 11/01/2020 1:49:03 PM PST by marcusmaximus

The Drudge Report continued its nine-month losing streak in September, according to Comscore data.

The Drudge Report’s traffic fell 45% year-over-year in September, extending its nine-month losing streak in 2020, according to Comscore data.

The data shows that visits to the conservative news aggregator was down, but one conservative figurehead who did not see declines is Dan Bongino, a Fox News contributor who launched his own aggregator site last year to compete with Drudge’s.

Comscore did not provide full Bongino Report or Drudge Report numbers, but Bongino.com, which features original pieces instead of aggregated ones, saw a 780% increase over last September.

In September 2020, Bongino.com brought in 2.593 million unique visitors, a gigantic jump from the 295,000 it saw in September 2019.

If you like the Drudge Report Format, but hate the leftward bias it has taken, go to the Populist Press (https://populist.press/)

I’m not (yet) convinced he sold to the Chinese, but he did sell the site, along with his aging father’s reference desk site. He’s just not at liberty to say anything due to a nondisclosure agreement. How long do NDAs last? I’d love to hear what he has to say once the NDA has expired . . .

Whatever happened to Rightreads.news ?

It’s been “down for maintenance” since September, I think.

Sold out to the Chinese.

Drudge was taken over by an outfit named “Granite Cubed.” Next to no information can be found on this entity, although searches of archived material indicate it operated Chinese websites.

https://thedonald.win/p/3nMY018/x/c/FMEqw69z

The stories about its association with Drudge indicate it is headed by Margaret and Adrian Otto. Adrian Otto is also the technical director of Google Cloud.

https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/craigsilverman/drudge-report-ad-revenue

He is also the “Distinguished Architect” of a company named “Rackspace.” Rackspace is a partner of the Chinese conglomerate Alibaba.

“Our Rackspace Managed Public Cloud Services includes Alibaba Cloud management to help ease this burden and smooth out the path for organisations looking to expand into China. As an Alibaba global managed service partner, our cloud experts can help you get the most out of your investment.

...."Drudge didn’t sell the site".....

Just here on this thread, it's been sold, It hasn't been sold, Drudge still owns it, and the Chinese now own it. How do you find out for sure what happened? I don't go there anymore, but would like to find out the truth. Seems like just out of curiosity FNC or somebody else would have done a story on how to destroy an empire in 2 years or less.

I googled it but learned very little. I think the story that was peddled was Drudge still owns it but someone else is running it. If that's the case it looks like he could fire them to save his empire, or just take it back over. It appears to me that Drudge has had a falling out with Trump and changed his stripes.

Just curious and wanted to know.
