I agree. Hopefully, the presence of IPR will inspire TPW to be an even better site. This is the way the market works. The consumer wins!

Now we need to work on getting listed in Google News!

Good idea, I’ll work on adding a facebook icon to the site this weekend.

I think it’s important not to get too obsessed with TPW. Both of these sites can exist and thrive side by side. They’re listed in Google News, so trying to “beat them” on a regular basis would be very tough.

But with that said, we actually did have more traffic (pageviews and unique visitors) than they hadyesterday. But whatever…

It looks like TPW took down their SiteMeter. Maybe I’m just missing it? Earlier today, I checked and we had about 90% as much traffic as they had. Then I checked again, and I can’t find the SiteMeter icon.

“We should probably get a Facebook icon and put it on the main page.”

I’ll second that. Are there myspace groups like this? I’ll set one up if none of you have one, and you can add a Myspace icon as well. The same most politcal campaigns have.

The fact that the chief rival essentially stopped publishing during a news-filled week certainly didn’t hurt.

A demand was created. We provided the supply. The market always wins.

Im most impressed by the fact that we pulled so much traffic so quickly. I suppose it was mostly due to the fact that Knapp and GE are pretty well-known in the libertarian blog-world.
