HM, MAYBE DRUDGE HAS SEEN HIS BEST DAYS

I was concerned before that the Drudge Report may be making a comeback, especially since Fats, Sean and Foamer seemed to be referencing him more often. Today, there are a couple of reports that Drudge's influence has still not come back to his heyday years of the Clinton presidency. The Columbia Journalism Review noted that his Internet ranking no longer leads the pack:

As of this writing, Alexa, Amazon’s Web site counter, lists Drudge as the 704th most popular site on the Internet. (Politico is 2,078 and The Huffington Post is 331.) Compete.com, which tracks Web traffic over time, tells a fuller story: in June of 2008, all three sites had around two million unique visitors. Since then, The Huffington Post’s numbers have soared, reaching 6.7 million in June. Drudge and Politico have both seen their traffic rise slightly, yet remain under the three million mark monthly.
