Doesn't anybody wonder what happened precisely three weeks ago to cause this amazing rise in popularity? Somebody big must have linked to us, who never did before. Either that, or it's some data collection weirdness at Alexa; there is nothing in John's daily stats that would indicate any huge increase in usage, unless they are all lurkers. How about the FR fund raiser? (I know... i'm a day late to this party)

I wonder if James Woods is a freeper?

Again these liberal websites are drifting down the toilet everyday. Actually, they're still swirling around the bowl on their way down.

You know this means virtually nothing. This is only of Alexa users... not a huge number of experienced users I assure you.
But nice to see anyway.

THIS thread.

Either that, or it's some data collection weirdness at Alexa;
there is nothing in John's daily stats that would indicate any huge increase in usage, unless they are all lurkers.
Methinks that the folks over at
Alexa got FReeped, sort of.
Just as the Nielsen ratings of television popularity can be skewed if you have control over who has one of their "boxes," the Alexa ratings of Internet popularity can be skewed by power users here on FR adding the Alexa "toolbar" to their browsers.
I think.
See also, from my post on a previous thread:
Nice to see favorable publicity but note well that their rankings are created "...by analyzing the Web usage of millions of Alexa Toolbar users."I've never seen, let alone used, an "Alexa Toolbar" and I'd bet that goes for the large majority of Freepers.
I wouldn't go to the bank with rankings based on a minuscule, and possibly not very representative, sample of the web-using public.
Aye, but that means that their "miniscule unrepresentative sample" is eminently FReep-able... ... i.e., subject to dramatic intervention by motivated members of this forum, who may download the Alexa toolbar at rates significantly higher rate than OTHER web-surfers...
While I have some concerns about letting Alexa (aka amazon.com) follow me around as I surf the web, I will keep their toolbox on my browser - for a while - to support this forum...

Doubtful. As you know, MM was on RadioFR just a couple months ago, and, was very gracious to us at CPAC. In fact, she indicated she would like to become more involved in FR and FRN activities.

And just think of it, probably half of the hits DU got were just Freepers checking out to see what the evil ones had to say...

Great, that's all we need. Joe Conason showing up at Jim Robinson's doorstep wanting to place a "personal ad".

"The Alexa generated graph below shows salon.com's graph (and this weeks decline) in communist red, and freerepublic.com's dramatic 3 weeks upsurge shown in Patriot Blue. The crossover is shown on the right side of the graph." Sure enjoyed your artistic analysis.
