Counter-Currents/North American New Right Newsletter: December 2011

[1]628 words

Editor’s Note:

Due to computer problems, I have been unable to distribute our December Newsletter to our mailing list. Rather than delay it any longer, I have decided simply to publish it on our front page.

Dear Friends of Counter-Currents,

1. Our Blog

In December, we added 73 posts to the website, for a total of 1,390 posts since going online on June 11, 2010. We also added over 500 new comments.

2. Our Readership and Web Traffic

In December, we broke our records for unique visitors, visits, and pages viewed — in spite of slowdowns for Christmas and New Year’s eve. In December, we had 97,223 visits (up from 88,824 visits in November). We had 49,845 unique visitors in December (up from 44,445 in November). These visitors looked at 337,881 pages (up from 330,664 in November). Because of the holidays, we came just short of the milestones of 50,000 unique visitors and 100,000 visits. We’ll save those for January.

As we had hoped, Counter-Currents/NANR is much more than a blog with ephemeral commentary on the news. It is becoming an encyclopedia which people will be consulting for years to come to find racially-aware outlooks on all aspects of politics, history, and culture.
