Of the 25 websites TheRighting studied in October, 19 showed September-to-October visit increases of at least 10%.  Infowars, with 16,420,000 more visitors compared to September 2017, generated the largest percentage visit increase (106%), followed by Hannity.com (84%) and One America News Network (61%).

“The strong growth numbers for conservative websites suggest that the deeply unsettling news events in October helped draw larger audiences to these sites in search of the latest developments, bulletins and analysis,” said Howard Polskin, President and Chief Curator, TheRighting.  “These events included the Las Vegas massacre on October 1 and the terrorist incident in lower Manhattan on October 30.” 

Five conservative websites ranked among the top 1000 of all US websites in October on the basis of visits: Foxnews.com (#39), Breitbart (#231), The Daily Caller (#677), TheBlaze (#818) and Infowars (#841),
