Monthly Report for February 2016

It is the end of one month and the beginning of a new one.  In February, Politics Plus was up from February 2015 in every category except unique visitors and number of visits.  Compared to January 2016, Politics Plus is down with the exception of Not Viewed Traffic.  February is a shorter month which will account for some of the decrease.

Here is our latest summary:

Here is our latest demographic data from Quantcast:

We are still mostly older, well educated, poor, and politically active.  That does not surprise me.

Here is our archived ClustrMap for February only.

Just a reminder, they have changed their format.  When you click the map in the left column, it shows the current month only, no longer the year to date.

We have 434,893 links on other websites which is up substantially from January

As of Midnight on March1, we have 6,297 articles and 75,669 comments, also up.

Kudos to Jerry Critter for posting the 75,000th comment on 10/02/2016.  An amusing little factoid, I let TC know that the date of Jerry's award was incorrect . . . he had a 2014 date.  As many know, I write the date differently being a Canuck.  I just noticed that TC  literally copied me.  LOL!!!
