Free Republic's status might explain the attacks on it by the 250 or so posters at truebluerinos.

And, if there's jealousy, then consider who FR is beating, and they have 24/7 around the clock coverage on the major media:

ONE FINAL NOTE:

How many of you think those folks above are NOT making millions? How many of you think they receive no financial benefit from their ad stuffed, self-promoting, sales cart inundated websites?

Agreed. And to refine further what you say:

It is the most TRUE TO CONSERVATISM WEBSITE

Newsmax belongs down on the list. They use to be good.

This list is based on internet traffic volume

Apparently, Newsmax gets lots of hits

Little Green Footballs does NOT belong on this list at all! Maybe a few years ago, but definitely not now.

Interesting list. I find FR very informative. I usually learn something from at least one of the posts everyday.

Free-republic has been my home page for some years.
I am a monthly donor because I do not have to wade through the pop-ups and other ad content.
Jim could be making big money by surrendering to ads - as some here during every quarter suggest.
I prefer a donation so long as Jim continues to be willing to accept far less money than he could be bringing in through ads.

The list is based on internet traffic and John Hawkins’, of Right Wing News, opinion of what is a conservative web site.

Today's Alexa ranking put FreeRepublic at 5,505.

Also, Drudgereport is much higher. It comes in at 434.

I wonder why they left TheBlaze off the list. It would come in at 4.5 (Alexa ranking 1,332)

I agree. I go to my local newspaper website, and I’m battling pop-ups, attacks, pages littered with ads throughout the entire time I spend trying to get last night’s baseball scores.

It’s crazy.

Freepers who don’t see the good deal they have here are blind to what’s going on with other sites. With his rating in terms of internet traffic, Free Republic could be pulling down serious money with advertisements.

Hawkins doesn’t detail his methodology, so I figured he just listed conservative websites and then put down their numbers for that day/week/month...whatever.

My guess is that if FR goes up and down in traffic, then so do others, that there is a standard rate of fluctuation.

LOL!

Not really. The only one with real discussion software is Free Republic:

“Software on Loan from God!”

42) Little Green Footballs: 49,844


This is a joke, right? Makes me wonder if they have really checked the websites on the list. LGF is to the left of DU and HuffPo.

The first 4 so called "conservative" websites are MSM news sites. The next 2 are conservative news sites. Free Repubic is the NUMBER ONE CONSERVATIVE DISCUSSION FORUM.

Most of those other sites are high on the list because of hits generated by links from FREE REPUBLIC.

We are the frontline in the fight against liberal tyranny and the front line in the rebellion against GOP-E appeasement and decay.

We are Gideon's Army.

The fight is on fellow Freepers.

Rebellion is brewing. Mutiny is in the air.

Looks to me like FR is “THE” top conservative web forum.
