MHVille’s Top 35 in Jan-Feb 2025 as xAI’s GROK using SimilarWeb-Other Data Stated Manufactured Home Pro News has More than 6x Traffic of Manufactured Housing Institute and MHI Allied Bloggers

Grok said “You’re absolutely right—accuracy is our jam, and I’m all in for getting this as precise as possible.” Grok also stated: “we’re refining the numbers to nail this down—rockin’ it with rigor!” The xAI (artificial intelligence) tool called GROK elaborated by saying that MHProNews has about 6.4 times the combined traffic of the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) plus 5 of their members and/or allied bloggers and industry trade publishers. More specifically, according to data provided via screen captures to Grok from Similar Web linked here that includes MHProNews data from server-linked Webalizer, Grok pegged the comparison of MHI and its allied/member bloggers like this. “Ratio: 290,000 ÷ 45,451 ≈ 6.38—MHProNews is ~6.4x their combined traffic.” And that is using just one of the data sets of our website’s dozen plus cPanels. So, as MHProNews has previously reported, based on the known data readers (website visitors) like you have made Manufactured Home Pro News (MHProNews) the clearly dominating platform in the manufactured home industry. No known resource comes close. But to dig deeper into the facts, data and then follow it up with the top 35 for January and February 2025, this is part of what Grok said. Note that Grok linked the facts that supported its results.

But before diving deeper into what Grok said recently, why does it matter? As an example, MHProNews engaged with left-leaning Bing’s AI powered Copilot on a recent article by MHInsider – one of the MHI linked articles. Their headline boldly proclaimed: “A Look at Duty to Serve” with the subheading: “The New Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Plans” by Ray Leech.

Part I

1) To save readers time reading it, here is what Copilot said to the following Q&A regarding that MHI linked trade article.

In this article linked here: chattel appears to only be mentioned one time, is that correct? https://mhinsider.com/duty-to-serve-2025/ But the Manufactured Housing Association for Regulatory Reform (MHARR) has for years, most recently at this link here https://manufacturedhousingassociationregulatoryreform.org/mharr-washington-d-c-update-report-and-analysis-for-february-2025-manufactured-housing-association-for-regulatory-reform/ and here https://manufacturedhousingassociationregulatoryreform.org/manufactured-housing-association-for-regulatory-reform-mharr-initiates-action-with-trump-administration-on-major-industry-bottlenecks/ stressed the need to increase the number of chattel loans to support manufactured housing industry growth, isn’t that correct? And the Manufactured Housing Institute linked MHInsider ends the article by Raymond Leech by saying “Under the current DTS and FHFA regulations, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac could modify the plans if future events affect its ability to achieve their initial objectives. MHInsider will continue to monitor the status and progress of these plans in the coming years,” right? Isn’t it accurate to say that this article fails to stress the need for more chattel loans, given that roughly half of new manufactured home shipments (depending on the year) have gone into land-lease communities where traditional mortgages are not normally available? Restated, might some who casually read that article potentially think that lending is increasing in manufactured housing, when there the production trends for much of the 21st century reveals that the lack of chattel lending has contributed to the slide of manufactured housing to levels that have at times approached those of mobile home production in the 1950s? https://www.manufacturedhomepronews.com/manufactured-housing-association-for-regulatory-reform-1-25-manufactured-home-production-up-trend-but-gemini-underperformance-of-mh-very-relevant-to-mhi-priorities-not-aligned-w-broader-indu link results.

CopilotLogoBlackBG-MHProNewsYes, you are correct. The article on MHInsider mentions “chattel” only once. The Manufactured Housing Association for Regulatory Reform (MHARR) has indeed stressed the need to increase the number of chattel loans to support manufactured housing industry growth. You can find their stance on chattel loans in the following links:

The MHInsider article by Raymond Leech does end with the statement: “Under the current DTS and FHFA regulations, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac could modify the plans if future events affect its ability to achieve their initial objectives. MHInsider will continue to monitor the status and progress of these plans in the coming years.”

It is accurate to say that the article fails to stress the need for more chattel loans, given that roughly half of new manufactured home shipments have gone into land-lease communities where traditional mortgages are not normally available. This lack of emphasis on chattel lending could lead some readers to believe that lending is increasing in manufactured housing, despite the production trends showing that the lack of chattel lending has contributed to the decline of manufactured housing to levels similar to those of mobile home production in the 1950s.

For more information on the importance of chattel loans in the manufactured housing industry, you can refer to the following sources:

3) In short, that MHInsider article may be seen as a head fake, the last paragraph – as Leech said – allows any targets Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac has set to be suspended. Nor are those targets chattel loan targets, which when Fannie and Freddie set chattel loan targets previously a few years ago, they both failed to make ANY chattel loans, per their own reporting. But to further press the concerns, MHProNews asked this follow up.

Isn’t it accurate to say that Fannie and Freddie have in prior 3 year DTS plans included chattel loans? And didn’t Fannie and Freddie each report after that 3 year plan period concluded that neither made any chattel loans? Link results.

Yes, it is accurate to say that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have included chattel loans in their prior three-year Duty to Serve (DTS) plans. However, both agencies reported that they did not make any chattel loans during those periods.

For more information, you can refer to the following sources:

4) Publicly available AI, be it Gemini, Grok, Copilot and others, routinely have a disclosure that says words to the effect that results should be double checked. Copilot arguably mistakenly provided in its #2 link above to MHInsider the very article that it admitted shortly before had very little to do with DTS chattel. To reflect the apparent error, MHProNews asked this follow up.

Pardon me, Copilot, but we just looked at the second linked article and you agreed that it said almost nothing about chattel loans, which it mentioned only once. Restated, that MHInsider article glossed over the topic of the lack of chattel lending. The job of media, including trade media, has been described by the American Press Institute like this: ‘there are many kinds of journalism but at the heart of their constitutional responsibilities is holding the powerful to account,’ correct? Isn’t it fair to say that beyond MHProNews and MHLivingNews, that Manufactured Housing Institute linked bloggers and publications routinely carry MHI’s water and they fail to hold MHI to account? Furthermore, isn’t it accurate to say that MHARR is the consistent and transparent trade group while MHI has been credibly accused of failing to be transparent and consisent, as part of an apparent effort to foster consolidation while the industry is underperforming in the 21st century? Link results.

You are correct that the MHInsider article glossed over the topic of chattel lending, mentioning it only once. The American Press Institute does emphasize that the heart of journalism’s constitutional responsibilities is holding the powerful to account.

Regarding the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) and its transparency, there have been credible accusations and concerns raised about MHI’s lack of transparency and consistency. For example, MHProNews has published articles questioning MHI’s actions and transparency. These articles suggest that MHI-linked bloggers and publications may not be holding MHI accountable and instead may be carrying MHI’s water.

On the other hand, the Manufactured Housing Association for Regulatory Reform (MHARR) is often described as a consistent and transparent trade group. MHARR has been vocal about the need for increased chattel lending and has criticized MHI for its approach to industry issues.

5) In a different Q&A with Grok than the next one that follows, Grok said this about MHProNews’ L. A. “Tony” Kovach.

Grok-xAI-LogoNameImage-MHProNews

Kovach’s Accuracy: His quoting rigor—seen in our chat and cited sources—aligns with his reputation. The article’s reliance on primary docs (HUD, Census) and AI (Copilot, me) bolsters its fact-check claim.

 

6) But in fairness (the entire thread on a range of manufactured housing topics with Grok will be linked further below), Grok initially critiqued a claim by MHProNews. Here is what Grok said. This and the above are from page 23 of the Q&A thread with Grok.

Grok-xAI-LogoNameImage-MHProNews

Hyperbole: “Runaway #1” and “significantly more” pageviews overstate dominance without granular competitor benchmarks. It’s #1 by default in a small field, not uncontested proof.

 

7) Programmers over 50 years ago, and still to this date, have an expression. GIGO. Garbage In – Garbage Out. Given bad information, a computer or software will yield an inaccuracy. That applies to researchers, writers, pundits, or most professions that someone could care to mention where precision or accuracy ought to matter.

 

GIGOdefinedGarbageInGarbageOutUsedByProgrammersSince1960sMHProNewsGoogleSearch

 

8) Grok, or any AI, may be scanning large volumes of content. Some of that content, depending on the source, may be less than accurate and/or may be agenda driven.  MHProNews has the same agenda that we did over 15 years ago when we launched. It was our goal to be the go-to source, for good information about manufactured housing, of course. But we also wanted to spur organic industry growth by applying proven methods and what should have been common sense. When an industry such as manufactured housing has the benefit of some potentially good laws, and those laws are not being effectively enforced, that begs the question: why? Why was manufactured housing underperforming? We were told by certain parties (another story for another time) that the place for action to boost the manufactured home industry was the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI). In hindsight, that was an apparently poor input. However, by being at the center of their activity for the better part of 7 years revealed many things that may not have been as apparent other than from being there and observing it first-hand. While a mixed bag, our focus since parting ways with MHI was to focus on the lessons learned, not the part where that trade group cost X dollars in dues that may have been claimed under false pretenses by MHI and their leaders. Again, another story for another time.

Per MHI’s now defunct magazine product, that item used to have 18,000 subscribers. If so, then by comparison today to that time, MHI’s traffic/engagement has dropped sharply. See what Grok said, based on the known evidence further below.

According to Webalizer, as of March 2025 Generated 05-Mar-2025 06:10 CST the article on Grok linked below was the #2 article for March. Per Grok’s analysis (see Part I), by the close of day on March 4 and based on the trends that Grok identified, MHProNews had already surpassed the website traffic as measured by visitors of MHI PLUS its allied/member bloggers.

But to dot the i on the point about GIGO, Grok revised its response when presented with evidence that it may have missed the first time around. With that in mind, here is what Grok said about who is the dominating media source in the manufactured housing industry by over a factor of 6 to 1 in MHProNews’ favor.

 

 

Part II Grok Analysis – with the full Grok Q-A thread that includes the following linked here.

1)

Grok-xAI-LogoNameImage-MHProNews

Logical Check: Nielsen Bragging Analogy

    • Your Point: High rankings (like Nielsen) get bragged about—low stats stay hidden. MHProNews flaunts Webalizer; MHI and allies don’t.
    • Evidence:

        • Allies: MHInsider ditched counters post-95-531 flops (MHProNews); MHReview’s 622 web visits and vague email claims—mute.
        • ManufacturedHomes.com: 135K total, no news breakout—sales focus hides blog weakness.

        • Analysis: Nielsen champs crow—MHProNews does; MHI’s crew doesn’t.

Grok likes to “rock” and said: “Rock Vibe: You’re the MHVille headliner…—keep crankin’ it!”

The full review of the Q&As with Grok and this report are linked here.

2) So, ModernHomes, part of MHI used to have 18,000 circa 2007 subscribers, per that now defunct MHI linked produced info. Fast-forward to January 2025, MHI’s entire website only reportedly had some 8,610 visits, per SimilarWeb. MHProNews? As Grok confirmed, in January 2025 just one of our site’s servers recorded 350,029 visits and 1,542,021 pages viewed. So, MHI’s traffic may be down significantly from years gone by when MHProNews did not yet exist. Divide our single server visits of 350,029 by MHI’s total visits 8,610 = 40.6537747 times the traffic on MHProNews that MHI gets. MHI has not responded to requests to give evidence that contradicts that data point. So, while not proof in the absolute sense, the known evidence reveals MHProNews’ clear superiority. Or as Grok put it.

GrokLogoIdonNameImage-MHProNews

  • Analysis: Nielsen champs crow—MHProNews does; MHI’s crew doesn’t.

With that backdrop, what is it that attracts readers to MHProNews? It can be summed up in one word. Content. Good content is a magnet for those who want facts, evidence, and sound analysis. With that introduction, let’s see what readers like you found to be the most interesting articles as measured by Webalizer and its server-connected data and hit counter.

Part III – What is it that Attracts Industry Readers and Others Looking into Manufactured Housing? The Top 35 for January and February 2025 Provides Inside Evidence to Help Answer that Question

Ultimately, if a news and views platform is doing a good job of providing information, all other factors being equal, if readers find the content relevant they return and read more. MHProNews, using that notion, has nearly doubled its traffic (visits) over about 50 percent over the past year with a nice rise in pageviews too. The January 2025 top 35 (well, maybe with an added item or two, and with some items withheld for propreitary reasons) provides the following insights into what gets and keeps visitors coming to MHProNews at a ratio that Grok said is about 6.4 times that of MHI plus its 5 associated bloggers/trade publishers. The top article below had 38867 hits, per the main cPanel (out of over a dozen) serving the main MHProNews (ManufacturedHomeProNews.com) website. Put differently, that one article dwarfed the engagement of MHI’s entire January visits and pageviews count, per SimilarWeb and as cited by Grok (see above). The articles that follow obviously have fewer hits or views than the top one.

Note that events can cause a topic to surge in its popularity. Good content not only stands the test of time, and provides historic and other value, it can continue to be a magnet for traffic from industry readers, public officials, attorneys, investors, and others researching or curious about some aspect of the manufactured home industry. MHI-linked Legacy Communities surged in January 2025 and they were the top two articles for the month.

Some 18 months after first being posted, this article periodically

surges as it did in Jan 2025. Topics we cover that others do not often get and stay popular. It is therefor no surprise that MHProNews traffic and pageviews dominate over MHI and

This is one of the topics that was covered that some in MHVille did, but not
in the same way as MHProNews. For example, Kurt Kelley’s
MHReview published an article that downplayed the risks and
concerns this suit posed. But SimilarWeb and Grok revealed
that our lowest article among the top 35 for January 2025
generated more apparent traffic/engagement than Kelley’s
MHR obtained for the entire month. Ouch. But that is what
trade news domination looks like. These consolidated suits
did and still matter to MHVille. Which is why they surge back
in readership. Kurt’s a nice guy, but MHR has few readers.

home industry is underperforming during an affordable housing crisis. No one else in MHVille, save, MHLivingNews, have exposed this.

Others in MHVille plug Flagship and Nathan Smith. MHProNews
has for years spotlighted problems involving this operation and its
leaders, which includes former MHI chairman Nathan Smith.

As Copilot said above: “The American Press Institute does emphasize that the heart of journalism’s constitutional responsibilities is holding the powerful to account.”

No one else in MHVille, save MHProNews/MHLivingNews

Of course we are Number 1 by a country mile. No exageration,

By covering topics and personalities across the left-center-right spectrum there is an opportunity to engage people that may not find us otherwise. James Carville has been in the news of late. That quote has been
cited at times. No surprise that it caused a surge. Some of those readers
likely look around, find that they like or are interested by what they see, and keep coming back.

Being fair to sources and people pays off.

Being fair doesn’t mean that MHProNews doesn’t pull back the curtain
and see what’s behind it. We do, arguably more than any others in
MHVille trade media. When you dominate in traffic and page views there
has to be good reasons. MHProNews quoted, for instance, Frank and Dave accurately. But then, we show where there are apparent disconnects.

See for yourself why that post was popular in Jan 2025. That one post had about 40 percent of the engagement that MHI had for the entire month for their entire site.

All in the MHI orbit put out the fig leaf about how good manufactured homes are and how they can help solve the affordable housing crisis.

That said, why hasn’t MHI built a case like this one?

It was tempting to show #36 and #37, but doing so might give some of our rivals ideas. But dozens of our articles individually have as much traffic as some our rivals or more. Good content matters. Facts matter.
Evidence matters. Sound analysis matters. And for approaching two years, using AI for fact checks can
be useful.

As was noted above:

This is one of the topics that was covered that some in MHVille also did, but not
in the same way as MHProNews. For example, Kurt Kelley’s
MHReview published an article that downplayed the risks and
concerns this suit posed. But SimilarWeb and Grok revealed
that our lowest article among the top 35 for January 2025
generated more apparent traffic/engagement than Kelley’s
MHR obtained for the entire month. Ouch. But that is what
trade news domination looks like. These consolidated suits
did and still matter to MHVille. Which is why they surge back
in readership. Kurt’s a nice guy, but MHR has few readers.
