Perhaps the most relevant statistics data that we could gather is presented here:
Data type/Website parameter | Status or value | Our findings |
---|---|---|
Site title (meta) | Conservative news, politics, opinion, breaking news ****ysis, political cartoons and commentary – Townhall | Sticking to between 50-60 characters for meta title length is a good idea. The length of this website's meta title is 112. |
Website meta description | Townhall is the top source for conservative news, political cartoons, breaking news, election news and commentary on politics and the media culture. The perfect site for conservatives, republicans, libertarians and liberty loving Americans | The length of the meta description is 239 characters.

Metadata keywords | Conservative Magazine, Conservative News, Columnists, Political Cartoons, Republican Politics, 2016 election, policy, Talk Radio, Commentary, Opinion, Conservatives, Sarah Palin, Ann Coulter, Mitt Romney, Michelle Malkin, Michelle Bachmann, Rick Perry, GOP, Republicans | Oh. It's unexpected, to put it mildly, to see meta keywords still being used. After all, they are no longer a ranking factor and associate with spam more than anything else. |

The basic overview not enough? Let's dive deeper.
A website is not just Quantcast ranks and meta information. There is a whole lot more to it. Let's give it a proper look now, shall we?
Data type/Website parameter | Status or value | Our findings |
---|---|---|
Categories of the website | Society Politics Conservatism |
These are not only the possible categories the website falls into, but also areas of interest of the main target audience. |

The following statistics are provided only as an approximation. We can't guarantee the numbers are absolutely correct, but we do believe they are very much within the ballpark and, as such, can give a pretty good idea about the popularity of this website.
Let's start with some telling numbers and then break it all down.
Data type/Website parameter | Status or value | Our findings |
---|---|---|
Approximate monthly visitors | 11.38M | Without taking the size of the target audience into account, we would say the website's not that popular. But, again, that is a somewhat superficial assessment - make your own conclusions. |
Traffic delta | +18.95% | Over the past month, the traffic has increased. |
Average visit time | 00:02:49 | Visitors spend a decent amount of time reading the website. |
townhall.com Visit Traffic Bounce Rate | 63.59% | A pretty good amount of visitors find valuable information here without going back to search results. |
Alexa, perhaps the oldest ranking system of its sort, bases it's website rating on approximated number of visitors of a specific page. In other words, the more visitors, the higher the global and local ranks. As of recently, Alexa has well over four million websites ranked. Having said all that, Alexa rank should be taken with a grain of salt. Or a massive bucketload. In other words, we think it to be greatly overrated, as it never takes into account how popular a website is within its niche.
QUANTCAST is very similar to Alexa, though perhaps enjoys an overall better user opinion even if, by comparison, the data processing company's rank index is smaller. The main interest of QUANTCAST is real-time audience analysis, so again the rank is based on traffic. QUANTCAST gathers this data mainly for advertising purposes of other companies. We know that, so far, QUANTCAST has ranked 438,118 websites, give or take a few. With all of this said, Quantcast rank is not really any more useful than that of Alexa and most similar ranking systems. Few of them, if any, take context into account and rate websites purely on traffic numbers (guesstimated, in so many cases). It's by far not the most accurate representation of a website's worth.
What is a server? It's basically a physical storage device (one that, sometimes, makes up several virtual servers for the cheaper shared hosting) that holds all the files and databases associated with a specific website or websites. Obviously, it's a touch more complicated than that (servers also have processors), but the essence is quite simple - your browser contacts the server, which then sends all the neccessary information and files to your computer. Each physical server has a unique IP address assigned to it, too, for easy recognition.
If you need more raw data, here's what we managed to gather:
