DU is the underdog

[Peak_Oil]

I didn't believe it when I saw it, but there it was nevertheless. FR gets almost 8x the reach that DU gets. Wow.

1. Do you have a similar link

for Freeperville?

[Peak_Oil]

7. Update for new chart (my bad)

I didn't go back and click the link to see what happened. You have to scroll down a little on that page and type in www.fr##r#public.com where it says, "Compare: democraticunderground.com vs."

That gives you the comparative traffic.

Whoops

2. I don't put too much stock in online "ratings"

probably just means that 8x as many freepers have the alexa tooldbar installed

10. Correct - I ban Alexa - and all spyware - from my computers

so I count as a ZERO as to traffic at DU.

3. Hmpf...

4. The Alexa toolbar is spyware. Probably more Freeper morans who installed

it.

Plus, I'd say a good quarter of their hits are DUers lurking!LOL

:evilgrin:

9. Spyware. LOL! I guess we are more sophisticated in keeping

crap off our systems.

5. we're still newbies... the reTHUGs have been at it since pigboy

times are a changing though ;->

peace

6. Check your math (125 v 620)... more like 5x

8. They have been around much longer

since 1996 I think. They also have over 200k members now.

Give us an extra 5 years and we will have a quarter million.

11. All those people and not an intelligent thought amongst them...

...sad.
