Compared to January, February results were down in every category.  It’s mostly because February has three fewer days.

Here is our latest summary:

Compared with last February  we are up in every category, except Uniques.

Here is our ClustrMap for 2018 YTD.  If it seems sparse, remember that this is only two month’s traffic.

ClustrMap misses a lot of visits, because many visits can’t be easily traced to a location.

Here are our top five articles:

As Seen From Afar 2/1/2018 2/1/2018 642
Everyday Erinyes #110 2/10/2018 518
Blood Money Bought 17 Lives 2/15/2018 503
Poor or Middle Class? Get Vaseline! 2/13/2018 419
Bill Maher from 2/16 2/17/2018 348

The count represents only the people who followed an external link to that specific article.  All were from February.   I wrote three.  Kudos to Lona and JD for writing the top two!

Here are our top non-blog/news referrers (100 referral minimum):

Google 2,084
Care2  1,720
Stumbleupon 347

All three are down, but it’s the short month.

We had 9 sites  with 2 or more referrals, up 6 from February.  Putting blogs’ links here increases the ratings of their sites, so this “linkey love” is our thank you for their referral support.  We need to improve this.  I still think I need to start visiting our blog roll, which is terribly out of date.

As of midnight March 1, we had 8,029 articles and 96,380 comments.

JD earned a Big Mouth Award in February for the 96,000th comment.

I recommend using your own avatar. Go to Gravatar.  Sign up using the email address you use to post comments here and upload the image you want to use as your avatar.  Whenever you comment under that email address here or on any WordPress blog (several others too), that image will become your avatar.

Your Administrators are Lynn Squance, aka Sasquatch or Squatch, SoINeedAName, aka Nameless, and I, aka TomCat, the Founder.  Your Editors are Joanne Dixon, aka JD the Erynator and Lona Goudswaard, aka Lona the Napster.  I  promoted them from Author last August to give them the ability to add graphics to comments and the ability to correct my innumerable typos.

This is our policy on links.  We do not embed links to extreme Republican websites, like Faux Noise, Breitfart or World Nut Daily.  However I leave notes in square brackets when I delete such links, (example: [faux noise delinked]) so readers, who wish to follow them can click through to the source article.  I also remove topical links.  Finally, I blank the target on all links, so they open in a new tab or window.

Thank you for all you do, everywhere you do it.

I’ve been wondering if the flood of information from so many sources that the unprecedented  extremes under which we live have engendered is crowding us out.  Please spread PP however you can. 

RESIST THE REPUBLICAN REICH!!
