Just because a page gets viewed frequently doesn't make it worthwhile reading (or even truthful... one of the more read threads at silver doctors was about a former cme chief who wanted to take delivery of gold but was defaulted on because he only got a warehouse receipt! pure comedy, sad thing is people gobble it up).<br /><br /><br />Fair and balanced is not what silver and gold bugs are looking for, they are looking for confirmation. Those of us who want a better understanding of the mkt in general appreciate your work and your actual knowledge of movements vs. pure conjecture.mikeyj80noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6089228851855763774.post-43216470908373248992015-01-02T04:43:49.071+08:002015-01-02T04:43:49.071+08:00Popularity is not an arbiter of quality.

An average post on ZH gets 10-20k total lookins; the figure seldom rises north of 60k. <br /><br />Most revealing is that it was Martin Armstrongs' offering that drew the most eyeballs on ZH! I've long suspected that they had to start offering his[contrarian]views last year in desperate attempt to bring some much needed variety into a stale n staler mix.<br /><br />A staleness which is producing the SAME RESULTS for ZH as previous comment alluded to: from the vaunted level of global TOP 1OOO as recently as June 2014, to below TOP 2000 by Oct - smells like the UPPER percentile of mentioned decline! <br /><br />The hustler sites countered the challenge of 2014 by upping the hyperbole quotient exponentially - $2000 au by December... Shanghai Shock etc., blah blah....<br /><br />all past BEST before date now! Get ready for the "GREAT LEAVENING" of 2015...<br /><br />as goldenholders stir from slumber, to throw off the shackles of their controlled "alternative media" handlers!Nutty Buddynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6089228851855763774.post-17263423952535686592015-01-01T08:42:46.993+08:002015-01-01T08:42:46.993+08:00I note ZH's top posts get around 250,000 to 30...I note ZH's top posts get around 250,000 to 300,000 reads http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-12-31/2014-greatest-hits-presenting-most-popular-posts-past-year<br /><br />Alexa is based on a limited sample, but interesting figures Nutster, that would directly relate to reduce revenue for them. If PM markets continue sideways (which I'm not hoping for) then wouldn't be surprised to see some sites/businesses fold. Maybe that's the bottom signal needed?Bron Sucheckihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00530576934994289879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6089228851855763774.post-79109311717524625502014-12-31T22:21:04.829+08:002014-12-31T22:21:04.829+08:00Remember many of your posts can be directly read w...Remember many of your posts can be directly read within the email notification - thus there is no need to go to the website.

Declines in position ranking ranging from 30 to as steep as 50% since October! Must be some serious muttering in beards going on in the board rooms of the hustler class!<br /><br />The 'heft' a website has in the community of interest it is oriented towards is impossible to measure - or even infer - using metrics of the 'world o google.' That leaves us only able to 'speculate' on such elusive themes...<br /><br />I'll wager that in the waters of the 'opaque world o gold,' the looming profile of that deep water visitor Baron "Bron" Barracuda stirs much panicked flight in the shallower depths where the small fry nibble n natter for 'hat tips'!<br /><br /> Onwards O Monocled One... onwards!Nutsternoreply@blogger.com
