Our fourth full month since we moved from Blogger was excellent.  Politics Plus skyrocketed in June.<\/font><\/p>\n

Here are our basic stats:<\/font><\/p>\n

\"stats6-10\"<\/font><\/a> <\/font><\/p>\n

Note that in June we exceeded our performance in March, April and May combined.  That is not likely to happen again, because one<\/font> article<\/a> went viral.  We had over 26,000 visitors and over 56,000 page views that day.<\/font><\/p>\n

Here is our most recent Clustrmap.<\/font><\/p>\n

While Reddit is not a blog, I included an extra link for them as they are our overall top referrer.<\/font><\/p>\n

One of the best ways you can publicize Politics Plus is to use the share button at the bottom of each post to list our articles on the the sites where you belong.<\/font><\/p>\n

After all this time Technorati<\/a> finally rated us with a Technorati Authority of 141.  That means we have 141 links in the last six months from blogs that are registered with and recognized by Technorati.  Thus we are officially a High Authority blog and on the B-list.  Since so many blogs have never registered with them, and since it takes up to a year after that to be recognized, we have more blog links than that.  But keep using our material.  The motto here is Thou shalt steal.  Even if you want to embed an occasional whole article, that\u2019s OK.  I just ask that you include a link to the original  here.  It\u2019s not an ego thing.  The more recognition we get, the more effect we can have toward ending the right-wing insanity.<\/font><\/p>\n

We have 26,564 links on other websites, up from 6,567 last month.<\/font><\/p>\n

We have 1,126 posts and 7,990 comments, as of midnight 7\/1.<\/font><\/p>\n

If you are tired of our funky avatars and would like your own avatar, go to<\/font> Gravatar<\/a>.  Sign up using the email address you use to post comments here and upload the image you want to use.  Whenever you comment under that email address here or on any WordPress blog (several others too), that will be your avatar.<\/font><\/p>\n

I\u2019m even more stunned than I was last month by the speed of the takeoff, and thankful.<\/font><\/p>\n

Finally, I\u2019d like to remind you, once again, why I use the term \u2018we\u2019 when I am the only author.  It is your participation in the comments that makes this blog more attractive that I could on my own.  It is you referring to this blog in your articles and posting our articles on other sites that bring people that stay.  Politics Plus has never been about just me.  It\u2019s about us all.  And this fantastic month is equally your fault. \ud83d\ude42<\/font><\/p>\n
