JONAH GOLDBERG REPORTS that NRO got 10 million pageviews last month. By way of contrast, in the past month InstaPundit has had 1,175,429. This isn’t as big as it sounds, since a lot of those were people hitting “refresh” to see if there was something new (of course, people do that at NRO to see if the G-File has appeared yet, too . . .) And NRO had one million unique visitors. I don’t track those, but I’m pretty sure that I didn’t have a proportional 100,000 unique visitors last month.
Still, when you consider the big bucks they’re spending over there — Slim Jims for the underpaid Goldberg, fancy ocean cruises for the overpaid Lowry, and so on — I feel pretty good about InstaPundit’s performance. And I don’t have annoying popup ads asking you to subscribe. Just a little, tiny tip jar over there on the left. . .
