Drudge Bleeds Out as Conservatives Flee; Rapid Decline Parallels the Enron Model
truepundit.com ^ | Nov 13,2019

Posted on 11/13/2019 7:16:59 PM PST by NoLibZone

Web traffic continued its dramatic spiral for Matt Drudge’s news aggregate site in October and at this point, the negative numbers are beginning to resemble one of the models employed to predict corporate disasters.

One of the things you learn as a Ceritifed Fraud Examiner is forensic accounting and modeling and Drudge’s recent and quick mud slide of web traffic is starting to look like the Enron model. And that obviously is not good.

It is a good thing Drudge is not working in corporate America or running a publicly-traded entity. He would be in deep trouble.

Drudge’s overall web traffic is down nearly 18 percent in September and October, according to the tracking metrics on Similar Web. That’s a massive and accelrated slide from approximately 93 million visits to 77 million.

Met Drudge during the FR March For Justice in DC. He wouldn’t take my impeachment ribbon.

I quit his site a few months back. Sick of his spin. I admit I do cheat every couple weeks just to check what he’s covering.

Thing that bothered me even way back was how his site reloads every 2 minutes. Always felt like he was cheating just to rack up hits. I mean he only updated his site 2-3 times a day normally so why reload so often?

There thousands of liberal ‘news’ sites... why would Drudge want to be one out of twenty thousand? Maybe Drudge died and his boyfriend or girlfriend took over...

Truepundit keeps grinding out predictions that turn out to be false. Over the decades, I can count the number of times I’ve frequented Drudge on my fingers and toes. But it is still a major site - on Alexa, #724 globally, and #196 stateside. For comparison, National Review is #7158 globally, and #1464 stateside. And Free Republic is #18681 globally, and #3417 stateside.

Note that I’m not a Drudge fan in the sense that I despise the layout, which I think is ugly as sin. But for some mystifying reason, it still has hordes of visitors.

Yep, I killed his bookmark about 2 years ago. I stopped back 3-4 times for a quick look. Sure enough, I made the right call.

"Obviously not good"? Yes it is. It shows that people can think for themselves and don't need some media pundit to tell them how to think. That's how libs roll, so they think everybody is like that.

HS was deemed normal because activists harangued and harassed the American psychological association and others.
