Our fifth full month since we moved from Blogger was excellent.  While we did not soar, as we did in June because of one article that went viral, we continued our previous pattern of steady growth.<\/font><\/p>\n

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

\"vv710\" <\/font><\/p>\n

Note that taking June out, we have a curve with an increasing slope, a pattern of accelerating growth.<\/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.  There are two more extra links because the last three blogs are tied at seven referrals each.  Enjoy the linkey-love<\/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

Technorati<\/a> increased our Technorati Authority from 141 to 494.  That means we have 494 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 are very high on the B-list.  we need six more to reach 500 and the A-list.  If we make it, we\u2019ll be in the same category as giants like Daily Kos and Huffington Post.  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 45,301 links on other websites, up from 26,564 last month.<\/font><\/p>\n

We have 1,235 posts and 8,870 comments, as of midnight 8\/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 very happy with our progress, and thank you for it.  This success belongs to all of us.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
