Dear Friends of Counter-Currents,
There is a lot of news from Counter-Currents this month.
1. Our Readership and Web Traffic
Our web traffic steeply declined in August. Our unique visitors went from 52,306 to 41,616, a drop of 20%. Our visits went down from 108,340 to 96,314, a drop of 11%. Our pages viewed declined from 367,589 to 305,729, a drop of 16.8%.
The focus of our site and the quality and quantity of our offerings have not changed. Indeed, we published more in August than in July. So we must look elsewhere for explanations.
We know of two new factors that explain these drops. First and foremost, Google has altered the search rankings of a number of our most popular articles, pushing them off the first pages of results, which makes it less likely that people will read them. Other racialist sites have experienced similar dramatic changes in their Google rankings. We believe this is a deliberate attempt at ideological censorship. Second, we have learned that the French internet provider free.fr has begun to block our site. This is also deliberate ideological censorship.
This is bad news, of course, because fewer people are hearing our message. Of course the majority of people who come through Google searches bug out of here very quickly. But some stay around long enough to learn something. We will have to work harder to attract their attention.
But there is good news here too. First, this kind of censorship is an acknowledgement that we exist and are regarded as a threat to the powers that be. Second, traffic is beginning to climb again, so in the end, we have been just slowed down, not stopped.
2. Our Webzine
In August, we added 92 posts to the website, for a total of 1,993 posts since going online on June 11, 2010. We also added over 500 new comments.
3. August’s Top 20 Articles (with date of publication and number of reads)
One of the consequences of Google’s actions is that our perennial favorites, Daniel Michaels on Stalin’s plan to conquer Europe and Gregory Hood on Scarface, have been driven from our top 20 entirely (indeed, from our top 50). Another perennial favorite, Irmin Vinson on Hitler, has been driven down to number 19.
Andrew Hamilton, Patrick LeBrun, Matt Parrott, and Greg Johnson each have three articles in our top 20. Jef Costello has two articles.
Patrick LeBrun and Mark Dyal make their first appearances in our top 20. Congratulations, gentlemen! We look forward to your future writings.

These are the titles that are at one stage or another in the editorial process. Beyond the first three titles, these are in only the roughest chronological order. Everything has been pushed back a month in order to devote time to launching the C-C Radio Network.
