The answer I got in my most recent test of where EA ranks in Google searches was discouraging if not surprising. Ethics Alarms used to pop up on the very first screen when you searched for “ethics websites” or “ethics blogs.” Now it’s buried so deep that I got tired clicking and gave up. “Nah, there’s no Big Tech ideological bias!” Yes, I do believe that the marginalizing of Ethics Alarms is substantially based on politics.
My clicking did turn up something useful and provocative, however. Feedly has a page titled The Best Ethics Blogs and Websites, though, like Donald Trump and others, it conflates popularity with quality. It ranks the top 50 “most popular” ethics blogs and websites.
I can’t figure out what its criteria are, but one way or another Ethics Alarms ranks #5 on the list. Even that honor is an apples-and-oranges conclusion. Ahead of EA is “The Ethicist,” #2, which isn’t a blog but a Sunday Times newspaper column with a website. “Everyday Ethics”(#3) and “Practical Ethics” (#1) are both UK websites, and #4 is the narrow range “Business Ethics.”
My favorite aspect of this listing however, was the description of each site’s output. “Everyday Ethics” has one article a week; “Practical Ethics” has an article a month. “The Ethicist” features two articles a week. “Business Ethics” also has just one new piece a month.
Ethics Alarms averages, the site says, 23 articles a week, behind only #50, “Corruption”( with 564 articles a week from around the world) and #12, bioethics.com, which has 35 articles a week. After these three, the most prolific ethics site has just 6 articles a week.
Ethics Alarms 
Jack,
Where the heck did Freedly get that “212 Followers” they posted, you have 1,400 Subscribers?!
I don’t know. That subscriber list is also wildly out of date: the number has been the same for years, going neither up nor down I’d love to see the traffic on some of those other sites with just one post a week or month.
On Duckduckgo, Ethics Alarms comes up as the number three response when searching for ethics blog. On Bing, this specific article is on the second page. Yandex lists Ethics Alarms on the first page. Granted, Google is the most popular search engine by an enormous margin; nearly 90% of all web search traffic goes through it. Still, Google is starting to lose a bit of its web search domination, as people slowly move to other search engines, mainly Bing.
