Strike! 
When I read it it was about the best thing I've heard in a long time. I don't quite get how they got the stats together and why SOTT ranks that high though. Frankly though I don't care why, since they shoot themselves royally into the foot by mentioning SOTT as one of the main "conspiracy" and "right wing" outlets in such a big and famous paper right along the new big politically party here in germany called AFD. Zeit is among the biggest and most read papers in germany. So them mentioning us in that way and so high up is about the best thing that could have happen. The Zeit article has already over 320 comments by the way, of which many are deleted by the editors of Zeit. Common practise there by the way. The usually delete stuff that mentions the truth.
Yes the above is probably why SOTT came out so high. I think daily postings of the articles on the Facebook page might be one of the reasons why. German SOTT does that with pretty much every article that gets published.
Notice how SOTT is mentioned right together with AFD (the new big "right wing" party that emerged in germany and will probably get much more votes then the mainstream wants to admit, in this coming election on Sunday. And I do wonder how Merkel and Co. want to handle that).
Since they mention us so stupidly (In regards to promoting us to a wider audience, you can hardly get a better promotion in germany, although they probably didn't want it to come across like that!). I'll try to provide a full translation in the next coming days, for your pleasure and delight and maybe to share it on non german platforms as well.

HiThere

Note that SOTT is higher than RT, which is something. If RT knew what our "German budget" is, they would all fall to the ground weeping. A budget? What's that?!
So there you have an answer to the question, "But what can I DO??"
And also to: "But it doesn't seem like we're having any effect... What's the point?"
Call me crazy, but I like to think of SOTT as a sort of Special Phorces Alternative Media (SPAM).There is no glory, there are no shiny gold medals, no interviews with Putin. We just do what we can do because it's the right thing to do and because we can do it, and then see what happens.
, then!

Yes comments like these really make the day brighter. That's the result of articles like these. More people get interested in those websites and the truth is spread even further. We don't even know if the deleted comments (of which there are quite some) mentioned SOTT positively as well.
If I'm understanding it, it's like they are saying that sott carries both "conspiracy" theories AND truth (by their standards, i.e. politcally correct)? Or, are they referring to "the Right" as in political position? Even that is weird because the Right didn't used to go with "conspiracy theories".
I guess our editorial policies are bearing fruit.

Yes, they were simply trying the old routine of throwing us - or anybody threatening their BS narrratives - into the pot of Nazis and conspiracy theorists: use two labels to deter potential readers, and in the end shoot yourself in the foot, because anybody actually reading what Sott publishes can easily refute those claims. It's really weird though, that they haven't yet figured that one out by now.
