Things to do to help FR get a higher ranking:

1) Make more hits on FR.

2) Respond to a good post.

3) Make FR your home page, so you get a hit when you open your web browser.

4) Send an FR discussions link to a friend who might be interested. Encourage them to sign up to FR.

I always enter FR via My Comments page. I'll make the change to Home Page.

I must be stupid or something, but the higher numbers are lower on the scale, not higher (the graph is flipped or something...weird). Wouldn't this mean FR is actually doing worse than these other sites?

I have a hard time believing this is true, which is why I am asking. The conclusion that we are doing better makes more sense, but I don't get that from the graphs that are upside down...lol.

Freerepublic.com vs. Bartcop.com. Bartcop is another forum type site, that allows a high level of vulgar language and rather coarse discussions.

Bartcop is a complete joke, I think there's maybe 50 extremely angry, miserable, crotchety old liberals posting there. Occasionally some of them will come over here as disruptors. If you ever try to post there you'll be shut down before you even start. Occasionally they'll let a conservative in, but usually they'll gang up on him like a pack of hyenas. Some time ago they were more open, but conservatives would go in and usually make mince meat of their arguments. At this point they'd resort to vulgarities, and baiting remarks until the hapless conservative was forced to respond. Then they'd claim that they won the debate and that most freepers were too stupid to debate them. As time went on the discussions got more and more meaningless, so they shut themselves down and only let trusted members post. Now it's down to a handful of EXTREME leftists, generally patting each other on the back. Occasionally I'll peek in to see what they're discussing but by and large it's a waste of time.
