Our sixth full month since we moved from Blogger was another good one, with improvements in every category, except new visitors.  Bandwidth is also down a bit, because I changed the way I embed some of the pictures.<\/font><\/p>\n

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

\"Visits-views\" <\/p>\n

Here is our most recent Clustrmap.  It\u2019s unchanged, because the site has not updated the map since August 1.<\/font><\/p>\n

Our durations are up a bit from 240 seconds last month:<\/font><\/p>\n

There\u2019s some linkey-love.  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, and to quote PP articles on your own blogs.  The operative commandment here is \u201cthou shalt steal.\u201d  We\u2019re on the same side here.  Even if you want to repost a whole article, that\u2019s OK.  Just link back, please.<\/font><\/p>\n

Technorati<\/a> increased our global Technorati Authority from 494 to 497.  Our topical Technorati Authority (US Politics) is 603. So globally we\u2019re at the top of the B-list, and topically, we\u2019re A-list.  The more recognition we get, the more effect we can have toward ending the right-wing insanity.<\/font><\/p>\n

We have 47,131 links on other websites, up from 45,301 last month.<\/font><\/p>\n

We have 1,345 posts and 9,909 comments, as of midnight 9\/1.<\/font><\/p>\n

If you are tired of our wacky 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 still very happy with our progress, and thank you for it.  This success belongs to all of us.  Several people have told me that a main factor that brings them back is the quality of the replies to the messages.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
