Naughty or Nice? How about Naughty But Nice?

naughty but nice

It’s that time of year, and we’ve taken to the interwebs to consult the digital traffic Santa to see who has been naughty or nice. Or, in our case, naughty and nice?

The left hates us. We’ve got a love-hate relationship with Republicans and Libertarians. We’re committed to the foundation of the nation and the idea that it requires a primarily moral people to survive. A morality founded on the idea of something greater than government and themselves.

Not everyone agrees, and we agree to disagree.

The legacy media dismisses us, but clones failed media models while wondering where their readers have gone.

We have some thoughts about that.

Despite the traditional digital slowdown that comes to opinion, news, and digital print media every Christmas (new and old), we’re still managing to knock it out of the park!

Naughty and nice. We broke into the top 10,000 US websites this month (just barely). That’s not an easy thing to do, especially for a bunch of unpaid hobby bloggers.

I’m not yet convinced we have the base traffic to sustain that, but we’re working on it, always working on it.

Our last trip into this region was from August to November 2019. We made it to 8,286 before creeping back out but near the top 10K domestically. It was crazy pre-primary election season, and we continued to do well until after NH Primary weekend. That’s when the Facebook Factcheckers came for us, and the Zuckerstasi locked us down.

We have since idled our presence on Facebook and built a following away from the Big Tech twosome. It took a while, but I think it is safe to say we’ve fully recovered to where we were before that.

We now need to build on this base and we look forward to your continued input into how we can do that or do it better.
