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 page, and thank you.

2. Our Webzine

In April, we added 53 posts to the website and in May we added 43, for a total of 3,386 posts since going online on June 11, 2010. We also added more than 1,800 comments.

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. These are the top 30 universities in terms of visits.

1. University of Miami
