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. There was, however, a slight overall rise in June over May, taking into account the June is one day shorter. In June, moreover, there were a few surprises, as some older articles went viral and racked up many thousands of reads. Maybe, just maybe, we will rise again from the search engine crypt to which Google has confined us.

2. Our Webzine

In June, we added 53 posts to the website, up from 43 in May, for a total of 3,429 posts since going online on June 11, 2010. We also added more than 900 comments.

3. June’s Top 20 Pieces (with number of reads)

1. Greg Johnson, “Philip K. Dick’s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? as Anti-Semitic/Christian-Gnostic Allegory,” 8,455
2. F. Roger Devlin’s, “Fascism as Anti-Modernism: Julius Evola’s Fascism Viewed From the Right,” 7,574
3. Derek Hawthorne, “D. H. Lawrence’s Critique of Modernity,” Part 1, 6,251
4. Gregory Hood, “Invading their Own Country,” 3,176
5. William Pierce, “Background to Treason: The Balfour Declaration,” 2,838
6. Gregory Hood, “Sexual Serfdom,” 2,734
7. Gregory Hood, “The Sexual Counter-Revolution,” 2,700
8. Greg Johnson, “The Slow Cleanse,” 2,691
9. Gregory Hood, “Spain and the Failure of Reaction,” 2,522
10. Colin Liddell, “Stop Overestimating America,” 2,420
11. Greg Johnson, “The Iraq Crisis,” 2,383
12. Greg Johnson, “Death in June in New York City,” 2,251

18. Patrick Le Brun, “Taking the Streets: France, 2014,” 1,597
19. Jeff Frankas, “Notes from the Baltic: The East Hits Back,” 1,572
20. Greg Johnson, “The Hate Born on Sinai: Jan Assmann’s Moses the Egyptian,” 1,471

Two new writers made our June top 20: Francisco Albanese and Jeff Frankas. I also believe that Derek Hawthorne is in the top 20 for the first time. Congratulations, gentlemen, and thank you! The rest of the top 20 consist of familiar names: Greg Johnson (6), Gregory Hood (4), Patrick Le Brun (3), and Andrew Hamilton, Colin Liddell, F. Roger Devlin, and William Pierce with one each.

Our top three articles are older pieces that went viral. The rest of our top 20 consist of recently published pieces. The contrast between the top 3 and the next 17 shows the difference between our regular, loyal readership and the kind of readership we can enjoy when our articles go viral. So the great question is: how can Counter-Currents become more “virulent,” as the ADL boilerplate says?

6. June’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. These are the top 30 universities in terms of visits.
