Nearly one million backlinks

Written by Dixie Flatline

I don’t remember how, but I found my way to this Stephan Kinsella article at LewRockwell.com and had my SEOQuake plugin enabled in Firefox.

At the top of the page, the seobar (search engine optimization) appears with relevant web metrics.

Lew Rockwell SEO Stats

Lew Rockwell SEO Stats

We’re looking at the Yahoo count of backlinks. The red arrow on the left points to the number of links Yahoo has tracked to this specific page and the blue arrow on the right, points to the total number of links to the lewrockwell.com domain. It’s this latter amount that interested me.

908,520 backlinks since November 28th, 1999. That’s more than 90,000 links per year, more than 240 per day. 7 days a week.

That is enormous weight and authority to a single domain. That’s staying power. And relevance.

I read LRC every day. I think a lot of other libertarians do as well. The numbers seem to bear it out.

    Many who would not label themselves as libertarians read it as well.. as its a source of no propaganda news.

    Mike, of course you are correct. I’m sure there are a great many liberals and conservatives, as well as political atheists who follow the news and articles at LRC.

    LewRockwell.com? It’s my morning paper. It, along with about a half dozen other sites, gives me the truth against which I balance the “media’s” propaganda. You’ll never learn the truth unless you’re willing to study all sides of the issues. Go ahead and listen to the main stream media, then compare it to LewRockwell.com, then do your homework. Dig for the truth. Don’t just listen to the “experts” and nod in agreement.
