I felt like going through my stats today. Hopefully this will be useful to other writers in our little corner.
- Freenortherner
- Xenosystems
- Organic search (not too many Bing users on the Outer Right — search terms include [erotic tips on being a campus whore])
- Captain Capitalism (would beat Google if I included his non-US visitors)
- Reaction Times (also run by Free Northerner)
- Facebook (which I don’t use)
- Redpillreview
- Nick B. Steves
This is about what I expected, except that Captain Capitalism can drive more traffic with a single link than anyone else on the list. The manosphere is a larger internet phenomenon than has been more broadly realized. They also have a number of people who are self-sustaining to varying degrees and work full or part time on their projects.
Free Northerner is up there because of his consistent Lightning Round posting. His Reaction Times has also been a daily visit for me, because I can’t be bothered to maintain RSS subscriptions anymore.
Nick Land’s right behind him: Quote Notes and other regular features send readers to and fro through the swampy horrors of the Outer Right.
NBS has provided a lot of the social glue that keeps everything together, and he probably doesn’t get enough recognition for that. I tip my neoreactionary wig to him.
Twitter probably ranks high because I don’t use any of the other social services.
Here are mine (crossing my fingers formatting will render…)

Would you share the search terms used either privately or on your own blog?
Top 10 search terms all time:
reactivity place
penn hills resort
the reactivity place
nick b steves
vxxc
reactivityplace
nick b. steves
nickbsteves
the orthosphere
penn hills resort abandoned
That Penn Hills one gets me 2-4 hits every day.
Anything that comes from people that aren’t semi-mistakes who aren’t already familiar with either you or other similar writers?
Quite a few searches for belle knox/miriam weeks (and her father) have landed ppl at my place. And also been linked at a couple off odd places. Also “american malvern”, not much more than the usual stuff (ppl looking for Bryce and Karl and Jim and stuff).
Interesting.
Well I do have a cute picture of her up. From a clothed part of the shoot.
Also, that seems to make sense, as you were active from back when Foseti was still writing, and you’re probably closest in terms of personality and content to Dalrock.
Yeah, neither Dalrock nor EW (AFAIK) ever directly link me. People just cruise over on their rss fed blogrolls.
Yeah, the Captain gave me the single biggest day ever just by adding me to his blogroll. Tho the 3 or 4 days around tr***ygate were all close to that. I need to get blogging again. Or put up a closed sign, I guess.
I think the week in reaction posts connected a lot ppl and I should at least continuing doing that, even if I don’t have a lot of new thoughts on stuff…
I think the value there is in telling a coherent story about what happened over the previous week. Thoughts don’t have to be terribly original to be useful.
Meh so much for <ol>> in comments…
My top three are Free Northerner, Twitter and Reaction Times. I think FN has been single-handedly responsible for any reading my blog at all, directly or indirectly.
Definitely the referral MVP.
Glad to be of service to y’all.
