Before the pandemic – Before Pandemic (BP), Before COVID (BC), what many of us referred to as BS, I attended a presentation by AFP with the proprietor of Liberty Block NH. Elliot Axelman. I said something then that has come to pass.
Christmas came early again this year for the ‘Grok. We have once-again reclaimed the number one spot in Alexa Rank for online digital print media traffic in New Hampshire.
The last time we formally compared our Alexa Online ranking to other digital footprints in New Hampshire GraniteGrok was sixth on our list. That was last September, right after we launched Grok 3.0. Since then we’ve been caught up in the process of getting all the backend (and some front end) details squared away. I wasn’t really … Read more
Twenty-Two days ago I announced a Grok ‘Resolution’ of sorts. Our effort to overtake the Keene Sentinel in Alexa’s US Rankings. Everyone needs goals, right? I’m happy to report that we’ve made some progress. The Berlin Daily Sun, which was between the Keene Sentinel and us is no longer in our way (at least for now). … Read more
Yep, our early straw poll is going on right now over here. And I am looking for for an answer – Hypothesis: will the ranking that you folks determine now hold true, for each race, when we redo them in late August?
The last poll about “who might be a good NH Governor was kinda all over the place with all those names, kinda amusing, I had fun with it, and a wee bit illustrative of how you, dear readers, are looking at people, politics, and positions. We haven’t been doing a lot of polls lately but … Read more
I’m a few days late with the monthly Alexa ran update but let’s write it off as moving the ball toward an end-of-month review. I was also waiting to see if some startling numbers changed before I published. Like how NH Journal has plummeted in global rank to lows not seen in months.
Alleged Republican Jim Morgan is heavily invested in the campaign of fake republican Neil Wetherbee. (Rumor has it his partner is Neils Fiscal agent). And Jim is all over social media, criticizing the Democrat plant’s primary opponents and smearing Republicans in general.
UPDATE 5: It has been a while since we updated this topic actually, a long time (July 30, 2021). Mostly because there has been no updated news to offer from that date.
Maybe you’ve heard the story. Back in 2018, when we rebuilt the site (it was old and vulnerable), I insisted on the tag line in our header. ‘Dominating the Political Bandwidth in New Hampshire.’ You gotta have goals, and Skip relented, and I was right to insist.
Recently the Mayor of Nashua was pleased to be able to inform everyone who would listen that Nashua’s financial management was ranked FOURTH in a nationwide survey of one hundred and fifty cities. Somehow this result was proof the City Administration was not misallocating funds or overspending.
Just a quick update to thank you for continuing to make us the leading digital/online news and politics destinations in the Granite State. It’s a position we’ve held since last December.
We appreciate the time you spend with us. Your comments, tips, leads, and links (even though we can only get to a fraction of them), are invaluable. But we are looking for the next step. What can we do to elevate the experience?
The hits keep coming for New Hampshire’s “no such thing as voter fraud crowd.” Washington DC resident Mary Kate Lowndes has been indicted “on a felony wrongful voting charge, two counts of misdemeanor wrongful voting, and a single count of misusing an absentee ballot.”
Several of New Hampshire’s ‘Newspapers’ have gone *begging for donations to stay afloat. Some have shifted more content online and abandoned 7-days a week print editions. With an increasing shift to digital, how has GraniteGrok’s dominance held up?
Last night we quietly and peacefully overtook the Union Leader in Domestic Alexa Ranking (again) to retake the number one spot as NH’s online traffic leader in digital-print media.
Well, we’ve certainly had a number of posts leading up to this hearing asking that if you could, it would be wonderful if folks could come out to support us. We’ve made it clear that this bill was aimed directly at GraniteGrok and I am glad to say that NH State Rep Jan Schmidt made … Read more
Tony Shinella runs a number of the PATCH.COM sites here in NH; in addition to reading us, try them as well as he is trying to do local stuff that the regular papers miss. However, this time, he did a really deep dive on this cycle’s Presidential Primary and it really is worth your time. … Read more
In late July, GraniteGrok.com passed the Union leader in National Alexa Rank to become the number one on-line print media presence in New Hampshire. Two weeks later I announced a new goal; pass WMUR’s online traffic by Christmas. So, how’s that working out?
I am proud to announce that as of this morning, GraniteGrok.com has passed the Union Leader in Alexa Online Ranking. We are New Hampshire’s Number One!
