Libertas exaggerations!

    Got this from Libertas:
    The Libertas website is the most visited political website in Europe,
    according to figures just released today. The website is receiving 40,000
    hits per day, easily outstripping its rivals around Europe.
    Commenting on the news, Libertas Leader Declan Ganley said:
    "While the EU fritters away millions of taxpayers' money on its own
    "information" websites and online campaigns, the Libertas campaign is
    reaching an unprecedented number of voters across Europe, and this will only
    grow in the weeks to come.
    Seemed a bit of a claim to me, so I went to Alexa and checked. Turns out its a bit of a funny claim. What Alexa actually says:
    libertas.eu = 247,692th most popular site
    But it does say political site, so I compared it to a couple of other;
    labour.org.uk = 240,539th most popular site
    conservativehome.blogs.com =110,169th most popular site
    europa.eu =1,254th most popular site (that's the EU site they're on about)
    More bollocks from Liebertas?

    they are running a huge advertising campaign on google adsense as their ads are everywhere and it must be costing a fortune (which of course they dont have to disclose where the money is coming from ;) )

    hell theres one there at the bottom right of this site on this thread :rolleyes:


    if you have google adsense on your sites you can block libertas.eu in your filters;)


    or even better theres this thing called adblock for end users :D
