Politics Plus returned to the Internet on September 5 as a brand new blog.  I felt quite happy about our initial month, and October was even better.  As of Midnight we have had 10,660 visitors.  Last month, we had 6,561 visitors, up 2,519 from September, an increase of 62%.  We also has 8,015 page views, up 2,898 from September, an increase of  57%.  This averages to 212\/259 visits\/views per day, up 77\/88 from September.  I\u2019m thrilled.  After an amazing start in September, we surged ahead last month.  Here\u2019s a graph of visits and views.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, far too many of our visits were \u201cpit stops\u201d, but I hope that will change.  Here\u2019s a graph breaking down the last 500 visitors only.<\/p>\n

And here is our most recent ClustrMap, showing our readers from all over the world:<\/p>\n

Our 5,000th through 10,000th visitors, respectively, were Nunly, Gwen, Buckdog, Jack Jodell, Jack Jodell, and Mad Mike.  You\u2019ll find a special section in our sidebar honoring them and linking to their blogs.<\/p>\n

This morning we received a wonderful gift from Technorati.  They finally recognized that we exist.  We have a Technorati Authority of 1.  So we could not have a lower ranking, but that will change.  We need 100 to be on the B list again.  So please keep linking the articles you like here to your facebook pages, stumble upon pages, etc.  When you see material you like here, the operative commandment is: \u201cThou shalt steal!!\u201d  Please do link back though.  Hat-tips are much appreciated.<\/p>\n

I use the terms \u201cwe\u201d and \u201cour\u201d while referring to Politics Plus, since this is a one-person blog.  I assure you, I\u2019m not doing so in the regal sense.  The we in Politics Plus includes you.  Without your readership and comments, this blog would be pointless.  Whatever success this blog does and will enjoy is because of you, so please congratulate yourself.  Thank you all for a great month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
