At the time of this writing, over 1.5 million page views from over 524,000 unique visitors since May 20, 2008.
Although the pace is only half of what it was in November, this was anticipated, since that was the height of the four-year political cycle, and this is the bottom.

I know the standard wordpress stats package doesn’t count when the people signed up to write there go to the site, unless they are logged in. However, I’ve tested the sitemeter and it does in fact count my pageviews. So they are all somewhat different.
I believe just when IPR opens as a homepage. That is how most of these counters work.
It doesnt count as a page-view.
Hmmmm..it might be undercounting then. What else doesn’t it count?
It wont overcount if you count this as your homepage. It doesnt count as a page-view.
But I do suggest everyone make IPR your homepage =)
The site meter might have overcounted because I have this site as my homepage. All well.

Yes, now move along into the cattle car =)
Billy Goat Eater/Prospective Advertiser–our revenue model is, frankly, none of your business. You needn’t worry about our finances.
“So, if you have a revenue model, you can pay for contributions. That should please the formerly paid contributors.”
No contributors (including me) were “paid”. We had a revenue sharing model which allowed us all to benefit from the sale of the website. Should the website be sold again, contributors will likely get a similar payoff. That is entirely my boss’ decision.
Let me guess, your revenues are a government contract to provide names and IP addresses to the gov’t as well as a collecting point for the opinions of dissidents. Do you also get a bounty for every dissident you herd onto the cattle cars?
Paranoia will destroy ya.

I really don’t see the $500 I earned for my first 500 or so articles here to be a big deal. I certainly wouldn’t pass up any petition job for that…because I can make about that a day on average on most petition gigs, as opposed to what I earned here in several months.
And that is assuming I eventually get it.
I think Trent only sells your name if you tell people about his business model…

OK.
You should have this email in a few minutes. Let me know if you don’t.
hahaha. No, nothing to do with cookies.
However, if you want to email me Paulie (and copy Ross) I can explain.
Me too!
Hmmm. That’s interesting. Can you email me the details?
“What, cookies?”
Something like that,lol.
You would LIKE for there to be a subscription fee?
Not that you asked me, but no.
For now, though, we have an independent revenue stream that doesnt depend on basic methods like these.

“No ads. No subscriptions. What good is it?”
You would LIKE for there to be a subscription fee? I think you’re the only one. As for ads, there will be some. For now, though, we have an independent revenue stream that doesnt depend on basic methods like these. We’re creative enough to see that there is more money to be made here than on basic ads.
No ads. No subscriptions. What good is it?
Define good.

“It rubs the lotion on its skin. It does this whenever it is told.”
A drop of only 50 percent following the election season is terrific news. I’d have expected it to be 90 percent and not have been surprised if it was 95 percent or more!
Great job!
