This is What Happens When You’re Completely Delusional
Surprise, surprise- WorldNetDaily is being retarded again:
Bigger than ABC, CBS, NBC?
WND ranked among top 750 websitesWorldNetDaily, the No. 1 independent news source on the Internet, was ranked yesterday as the 729th largest website in the world by Ranking.com, a public ratings site.
Guys? I hate to break it to you, but “Sadly, No!”
Ranking.com only collects data from people who use BrowserAccelerator, an Internet toolbar that ranks websites based solely on how many of its users visit them. As Ranking.com notes in their explanation of how rankings are generated, “the number of unique visitors listed by Ranking.com is not the actual number of unique visitors that went to your website, but rather the number of Browseraccelerator.com users that went to your site in the analysis period.” And how many users does BrowserAccelerator have? According to its website, about 165,000. On the other hand, Alexa, which is widely regarded as the best traffic rating site, has over 10 million toolbars installed worldwide. I shouldn’t need to tell you which site has the stronger sample size.
That places WND ahead of media sites such as the Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, New York Post, MSNBC, RushLimbaugh.com, Reuters, PBS, NBC, CBS and ABC.
How can I tell thee “Sadly, No?” Let me count the ways…
One:
Two:
Four:
Five:
But to be fair, they actually are more popular than RushLimbaugh.com.
The Internet market research company also lists WND as the No. 1 website in the category of “News, Web Directories, Headline Indices.”
Yeah, it was hard work, but they just beat out such reputable sites as NewsMax and Crayon.net.
WND continues as No. 1 in the News and Media category, as ranked by Alexa, a subsidiary of Amazon.com.
Uhm, yes, if you mean the News and Media category filed under “conservatism.”
And though WND has never considered itself “conservative,” the fiercely independent site is ranked No. 1 in that category as well.
“Fiercely independent” my ass. I suppose that’s why you’re always encouraging people to join the Conservative Book Club, right?
WND has also been consistently ranked by several major Internet ratings agencies as the “stickiest” newssite on the Internet ? meaning readers average more time on it than any other.
Yeah, well, there’s a whole lot to laugh at.
You and your facts-based . . . facts.
Sup Vespa 🙂
So do you think WND knows they’re full of shit when they post articles like this? Or are they really this delusional?
I hear tell that “Sadly, No!” is the number one website in the universe for traffic based on the very influential “sites visited by Brad R. traffic toolbar”, although there’s a site with cheesecake shots of Marie Jon’ that’s a very close second.
World Nut Daily has readers? As in, more than one? Huh. Who knew.
No wonder they’ve got swelled heads.
What’s up with the y-axis that gets bigger as you move toward the origin? Are the folks at WND taking advantage of a labeling mistake to claim high site traffic? (I’m assuming it’s a labeling mistake–there were other graphs on the Alexa site that used the standard approach.) Sorry WND, it’s the other way around: the lower your line on the graph, the MORE you suck.
Wonder if they’re counting readers who are visiting their site because another site, perhaps….um….i dunno…Sadly, No!, said “Hey, look what the fucktards are saying now.”?
FOX FACT:
More WND readers have spyware installed than readers of RushLimbaugh.com!
DL,
The y-axis is rank, not a measure of number of hits. That confused me at first, too. It wouldn’t hurt Alexa to put labels on the axes.
They actually do have a frighteningly high readship, considering how fucking crazy they are.
That’s nothing. 3B! has overtaken S,N! as the number one site for visits by trolls trapped in Mexican Prisons worldwide!
The “tool” in “toolbar” refers to exactly what you are if you have some bullshit like that on your computer. So WND has basically announced that they are the #1 site in the universe among people who click “Yes” on whatever pops up in front of their dull, AOL-besotted faces. However, even if it was some measure of “sites most visited by super-awesome-forever power-people” or something, I would totally never tell anyone that I ranked 750th. At anything. Ever. That’s like…not an accomplishment at all.
THE NAZIFICATION OF AMERICA IS ALMOST COMPLETE. ALL THE
CIA/MILITARY NEEDS TO DO IS BEGIN BOMBING AMERICAN INSTITUTIONS AND BLAME IT ON ?TERRORISTS.? THIS TYPE OF PLOY WORKED FOR HITLER. LET?S NOT WAIT TILL ANOTHER HITLER DECLARES MARTIAL LAW; THE AMERICAN RESISTANCE NEEDS TO TAKE ACTION NOW. NAZIS OUT!!! http://antichristiantroops.blogspot.com
Dean- I think you left the CAPS lock on…
THANK YOU FOR YOUR INFORMATIVE MISSIVE!!
(I almost didn’t catch that URL though, being in lower-cased letters and all.)
Damn, this is an insane rant that Dean wrote:
THERE IS NO BIBLICALLY BASED REASON FOR TRUE CHRISTIANS TO SUPPORT THE TROOPS. THEY STAND FOR EVERYTHING WE’RE OPPOSED TO, AS THE CHATS CONTAINED IN THESE PAGES WILL PROVE. MANY OF THEM (AND I DON’T MEAN JUST A MINORITY) ARE PRACTICING SATANISTS, WICCANS, PAGANS, AND ATHEISTS. THAT’S WHY TORTURE AND COLD BLOODED KILLING ARE ON THE INCREASE — THESE GUYS HAVE NO CHRISTIAN MORALITY TO RESTRAIN THEM. THEY’VE BECOME MORE LIKE THE ARMIES OF SATAN THAN THE ARMIES OF GOD.
Wow. This would fit right in at NewsMax if you replace “troops” with “Democrats.”
So do you think WND knows they’re full of shit when they post articles like this? Or are they really this delusional?
It’s hard to say . . . I’m thinking that they really are this delusional . . . remember, these are the fine mental specimens who see a 1% victory and call it a “mandate.”
I don’t know who Dean is but he’s off his meds again……
For some reason, reading that site makes me want to cluck like a chicken and scream “vegatables” at random intervals. It’s just that fucking insane.

Wow. The website is even more… wow.
It’s like this guy is the love child of Alex Jones and Marie Jon’.
I can’t decide if antichristiantroops is funny or if it’s scary that this guy is walking around among us. Sure, he talking to himself and yelling at the invisable people around him, but still…..
I agree with res publica, the only thing this shows is the stunning lack of web-savyness shown by the AOL using, pop-up clicking unwashed at WND.
One only needs to recieve an email from Marie Jon’ to see an awesome display of that idea. The margins are all over the fucking place, theres no paragraph scheme and often there are twenty or thirty 30×30 tiny animated gifs of crazy shit inserted over and over ad nauseaum. Try emailing her, i’m telling you it’s really hilarious.
I believe sample sizes in the hundreds of thousands is quite enough in theory, even when compared to a sample in the millions. In fact, a sample size too large can inflate statistical significance.
…Not that it changes WND’s accuracy or batshit crazy claim of “independence” of any sort.
