There are times when I find an interesting article on FreeRepublic that I copy and paste in an email to family and friends. I always make sure to give FreeRepublic a mention - and a link to the article.

One of the things I have always liked about FR over Drudge is that I not only get to read the articles but I love the comments. Concerning the WashPost/LATimes thing, I never could understand that. I compared what FreeRepublic was doing to if I bought the paper, and then showed an article I liked to 25 people who did not buy the paper. Isn't that the same thing?

The scale requires a little explanation. The top number is ONE meaining the site with the MOST daily hits. FR ranges steadily around the 1000th most popular site. Move-on goes off the page in (un)popularity.

Think of Amazon rankings: First is most.

Howard Dean has raised $3.6 million on the Internet over the last three months from not quite 45,000 donors. Last Monday, Dean collected "a breathtaking" $820,000 online

I'm guessing this is a way to get around campaign finance laws. Someone puts up the cash and then they farm names and numbers. These names should be made public immediately.

Kinda says it all...

No, it doesn't. MoveOn.org does most of it's stuff through email lists, not web hits. Now, you may want to whinnie, giggle and snort about what they're up to but I would say that it is unwise. Using their list, Dean raised over $800,000 in just over 24 hours. To put that in context, it will take nearly 2 weeks for the FReepathon to garner just $60,000. See, it's no joke.

The best advertizing for this site is for those of us who value it to send a link to it to our like minded friends. Word of mouth will bring the right people on board.

That's a great idea. I remember when I worked on my college paper that there was an ad agency that companies would go to and this agency would mass publish the ads in college newspapers across the nation. Perhaps it would be possible to do something like that with all Conservative college papers.

You read it as the lower the number the better. You want to be number 1 not 100,000 hehehe. Its not a count its a ranking.

That is great that Rush has a link to Freerepublic. Conservatives need to have better interaction.

Jim:
Given that the whole point of FR is to publicize conservative opinion and patriotism, how much consideration has been given to having a fundraising thread for the purpose of raising an advertising budget for college newspapers (some time when we are not in the midst of raising the quarterly expense goal)?

Shouldn't take big bucks to at least put

FreeRepublic.com
Adult (not adolescent) Entertainment

before a few college students.

If it attracted a good response that could become a significant part of the FR publicity thrust. If not . . . (shrug)

I love the link on Rush; I remember that I found FR by the link it had on Drudge. It pays to advertise--I suspect that FR could do well to make an advertising budget for itself. Probably ought to advertise on Fox News, if we could. Obviously just a one-shot or something . . .

I also found FR through Drudge. At that time this site was called Whitewater.

And I found Drudge from an article in the New York Times Magazine, a hit piece attempting to discredit "A Citizen's Independent Report" and several web sites for their investigative writing on the Vincent Foster murder. The Times's hatchet man stupidly mentioned a couple of the URLs in his article--or maybe it was on purpose, now that I think of it, because the writer may have been Michael Kelley. My memory's a bit dim on that point.

Television advertising may be out of reach for the forseable future, but print, outdoor, radio and the internet are all in play. Jim may not want to do this, but enough people convince him of the benefits, he may change his mind!

You could advertise in my college newspaper and it wouldn't cost very much.

I will have to look at our rates, but I am co-editor and needless to say, I got enough stuff to worry about on such an extremely small publication and so the more ads I can get before school starts, the more I will feel relieved.....lol.

And hey, it would be helping FR out.

BTW, the college paper is printed in the local town paper, so you will reach a bunch of rural Kansans with it, not just the campus . . .

"Maybe if we were a religious cult ... yeah, that's it -- The Church of the Anti-Crust (Hillary)"

This is the best I have heard. Way to go AngrySpud.

We need some free publicity to get more visibility.

If Lance Armstrong is looking good to win the Tour de France, my wife and I are thinking of going to some of the last few stages to cheer him on. If we do, I'll be sure and hold up sign with "FreeRepublic.com" on it as the riders pass ;-) If I do that on the Champs Elysees, we'll get loads of exposure.
