I did an analysis of web traffic for a blog of a local Republican club. You may be surprised to see how far words typed into a website can go around the world, and who finds these things interesting. I always suspected, but never took the time to look at the visitor list.

Keep this in mind the next time you feel inclined to waste your time telling off a fellow poster. If instead you write something meaningful and researched, you might just get the attention of the Army, Navy, Harvard, Yale, or the CIA!

***
They say you can judge a man by the company he keeps. With that maxim in mind, below is a (very) abridged list of domains that visited the NYYRC Blog, based on an analysis of Google Analytics since January 1, 2014.

Thank you to our readership, who represent the majority of peoples on earth. There is cross-appeal in reporting and analyzing news from a post-ideological perspective. We are living in dangerous times, when many countries are at war – both officially and unofficially. When transnational organized crime poses as much of a threat as any standing armies. And when American power looks ever more dim, as the president is not up to the challenge of navigating through complex, multidimensional problems involving religion, narcotics, human trafficking, development, and espionage.

Here are some highlights…

Visitors from the Central Intelligence Agency, Army and Navy intelligence, Brazilian intelligence, and the CIA’s open source organization (Foreign Broadcast Information Services);

from Harvard, Yale, Cornell, Columbia, MIT, and Princeton; from University of Oslo, Moscow State University, University of Warsaw, and Oxford University;

from the governments of China, Brazil, Taiwan, Portugal, Croatia, Canada, and the Vatican;

from the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), Boeing, Northrup Grumman, Lockheed Martin, and Halliburton; from the Democrat National Committee, the Smithsonian, the IRS, and the International Maritime Board.

Hmm.....the NYYRC must've made an impression.
That is quite a long list.
Makes you wonder who else is paying attention when you're on any site.

Randall_S Loc: Big Apple

Sure does! When you start a project, you never know where you'll end up. I think (I hope) that the audience reflects the quality of the information and analysis. We are a small team of people who discuss these topics, collect and analyze the news, and try to be as succinct and fact-based as possible

I'm sure that we were to see the visitors to 1pp, there would be people from every country and dozens of intelligence agencies. At the end of the day, these people have to get their information from somewhere. And seeing as how the world is pretty much on fire at the moment, they need all the help they can get!

bdamage Loc: My Bunker

It is pretty evident that many are watching OPP.

I've noticed that approx 10% of all that look in on a topic respond to a thread.
One thread I started had over 8,000 looks, but only about 800 responded.
I kind of wondered who ARE all these people?

Floyd Brown Loc: Milwaukee WI

Many of them are us. We can't & don't want to respond to every post. But we do like to see what is being said.

Randall_S Loc: Big Apple

Undoubtedly true. I read/glance at lots of threads, and respond only about 10% of the time. I didn't intend to make anyone paranoid. Just aware that out of the hundreds or thousands of pairs of eyes, a handful might be more powerful than the rest.

Honestly, it surprised me to see the list above.

bdamage Loc: My Bunker

I usually only look in to the topics that are of interest to me and will respond 9 out of 10 times.
There are too many topics posted on a daily basis for me to look in on.
At this point I'm looking at the poster first and then the topic.
I've kind of weeded out threads I've already read about in my own news sources.

Floyd Brown Loc: Milwaukee WI

I would say that the tone of the post is the key to following it.

I do check out many that are just rants. But I close to seek out post where people are shown respect.

For if one wished to be respected one must show respect.

Some times one has to call out a person when they get a bit out of line. It should be done with a bit of kindness though.

JimMe

Yes...specially quiet if my points are already given... or if replies have gotten personal & the original topic "is lost"... But I DO REPLY SUPPORTING ANY USA MILITARY FOLK & THEIR FAMILIES... They DESERVE It!!!

Randall_S Loc: Big Apple

I find the worst people are those who argue strictly based on emotion, and lack factual references. You can't have a political conversation with a hack for very long before you yourself end up sounding like a hack. Things that turn personal, when in fact the two people arguing have nothing to do with these situations first hand.
Case in point. Obama's cooperation with and encouragement of the Muslim Brotherhood. The facts are plain, they tell a consistent story of Obama pushing an Islamist agenda. The story is the same regarding Turkey, and Qatar, and Syria, and Egypt. At all times the administration has come down on the side of the Islamists.
Yet people absolutely freak out emotionally when you point this out, although it's documented in the most mainstream of sources.
What's the sense in arguing with someone who has immunized themselves to facts? There is no point. A hangover is more pleasant.

We have two choices. We can seek understanding with others peacefully or we can use our might to get our way.

What is being over looked is that if some one ends up with a chance to become President in this Country there is strong support from people with power who lend their support to those chosen. Lets just say that there was this sort of support for Obama.

If you wish to get to the bottom of the issue you need to find out who & why this power has been lent to Obama. It is more than my & others votes have given.

Obama has been lent this power to do what those that lent him the power want.

engaged Loc: New York City and Broward County Florida

Sorry to say, but this stream is sounding very one-sided to me.

Floyd Brown Loc: Milwaukee WI

I guess that that brings the question just what is the other side?

bdamage Loc: My Bunker

Then you don't sound very "engaged" to me.

What's your side of it?
