Counter-Currents/North American New Right Newsletter: April & May 2014
Posted By Greg Johnson On In North American New Right | Comments Disabled1,297 words
Dear Friends of Counter-Currents,
1. Our Readership and Web Traffic
Our traffic remains essentially plateaued since February, when a dramatic drop in our search engine traffic took place. Before that time, it was routine that articles published years ago would enjoy 1,000 or more reads per month. Many of them were regular fixtures in our top 20. Now, these articles receive under 100 visits per month, and all of our top 20 are recently published.
Given the possibility that Counter-Currents is being specifically targeted, in the coming months we will create a mirror site with a different domain name, which should increase the visibility of our back catalog of excellent writing. If you would like to donate specifically to the cost of this project, please visit our donate [2] page — and thank you.

Special mention is due Irmin Vinson, who has returned to writing after a long absence, and Christopher Pankhurst, whose article on Damien Hirst is an outstanding “only at Counter-Currents” contribution.

9. April’s Top 30 Universities
If we treat university addresses (.edu) as a separate country, it would be number 7 in our country rankings. Visits from University addresses are not, however, a good measure of how many college students are reading us, since students are naturally cautious about browsing politically incorrect websites on campus systems.
