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.

Welcome to SteveGrok!
Apologies for all the Steve stuff over the past two days, but everyone else is tied up with life or busy. We do this as a hobby, so our authors will create or curate news and opinion when life allows. When it does not, I do most of the heavy lifting.
The Monthly Alexa Rank Update – Why Yes, We Are Still #1 …
It’s that time of the month again. Yes, a reminder to all that a handful of liberty-minded nobody’s can fill their free time with stuff that gets more eyeballs than any other digital print media site in the state—our Monthly Alexa Rank Update.
The Return of Our Reader’s Choice Awards – September, 2021 Edition
Politics has poisoned nearly every well, so there is always more to talk about than time. But we try, and you did us the honor of making space in your day to read it. What did you read? There were about 400 new articles from which to choose and these are the top ten for September 2021.
Nitecap – ‘Grok Still on Top in Alexa Ranking (But we Have a New Number Two!)
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.
Introducing Our Newest Microsite in New Hampshire – SeacoastGrok
Not everyone realizes this, but GraniteGrok has satellites. We call them MicroGrok’s or MGs. We’ve been muddling around with them for more than a year but with a goal and a purpose. To create local focal points for Conservatarian news and opinion.
603 Alliance RevCon 2021 – Steve Mac Donald, Skip Murphy: “Using New Media to Challenge Politicians and Influence Policy”

This is Parts 1-4 of the 603 Alliance’s RevCon 2021 Panel on “Getting Your Message Out” with Steve Mac Donald of GraniteGrok and Alan Forbes of NH United.
Hobbyists With no Budget Continue to Dominate Political Bandwidth in NH
One of the most amazing things about our continued dominance in Alexa Rank across New Hampshire is the absence of a payroll. Authors work for free, no budget, no ad managers, or salespeople—just a few folks with some ideas on the internet.
Historical Palate Cleanser – Blast from the Past: Our former Blogroll – Part 1
Time changes, Time marches on…you know the drill. Nothing remains the same because Time hates the Status Quo. With Time comes changes and changes have certainly happened in the blogosphere since we opened in 2006.
‘Grok Continues to Dominate Online Print Media Sites In New Hampshire
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.
I Think GG May Need an Over Night Thread (ONT) to Call Our Own…
Ace of Spades HQ is famous for its Overnight Thread (ONT). The ONT is a basket full of deplorable links and goodies for your consumption at any hour, but it gets published at night, for the overnight, yes? I think we need one of those and here’s why.
ACTION ALERT! The “Windham Incident” Update / Learn What YOU Can Do!
I believe the audit for the “Windham Incident” has lost all credibility because there is no way for observers to observe in a meaningful manner. “Trust but verify” is difficult, and in many cases impossible. While the AG’s office and auditors have responded to some concerns, they have repeatedly ignored most legitimate requests for transparency.
So, Gracie Gato Accuses US of Being Obsessive?
I would have thought, given how NH rejected her, she would have said “end of that chapter, start of a new one” and left NH in her rearview mirror. No such luck.
Beginning Today You Can Find ‘Grok Content on Locals.com
At the reader’s suggestion – we talked at the GrokMeet in Rochester, I set up an account on Locals.com. As the guy who signs up, manages and delivers content to all of our Social Media platforms, I figured, why not.
One America News Network (OANN) Does Story On The Windham Incident – Names “GraniteGrog…”
We’ve been getting a good amount of national attention over the past few months. The Coach Keyes story got picked up, but most of that attention has come as a result of our continued reporting of the Windham Incident.
“We Have A Mask Mandate, too.” Sure Thing, Boss – ‘Grok Mask Exemption Placard to the Rescue
Ah yes, another story of the GraniteGrok Mandatory Mask Medical Exemption placard (with lanyard!) in use. I wish this video was just a BIT longer but the point was made. It’s amazing when Governor’s own words are used against his own Mandate.
Reminder – We’re Still Making Some Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch Changes… (Growing Pains, Edition)
Last month I announced a few backend changes with an eye on improving page load speeds. We’re still doing that, and it’s working. We have also moved a few things and removed a few things.

What You Clicked and Read the Most During the 2020 COVID Apocolypse Year- Part II
We will have published just under 4600 new posts in 2020 by New Year’s Eve. That’s just over 12 per day, every day, all year long. To focus on just 10 seems trivial, but this is a hobby, so we aren’t paying someone to post the top 100. Ten will have to do.
