Due to being hospitalized and relocated, this is my first Monthly Report since October, but I was able to get some of last month’s stats.  Compared to December, January results were down in every category.  I’m not surprised, as I had to miss several days.<\/font><\/p>\n

Compared with last January, we are down in Uniques and up in every other category.  I’ll take it!<\/font><\/p>\n

Here is our <\/font>ClustrMap<\/a><\/font> for 2019 YTD.  This is one months of traffic. <\/font><\/p>\n

\"ClustrMap1-2019\"<\/a><\/font><\/p>\n

ClustrMap misses a lot of visits, because many visits can\u2019t be easily traced to a location.  Do you see the widget on the left column of our pages?  What browser are you using? I’m using Chrome, and I can’t see it.<\/font><\/p>\n

Here are our top five articles:<\/font><\/p>\n

Squatch\u2019s Open Thread 16 January 2019<\/a><\/font> – 1\/16\/2019 708
<\/font>Samantha Bee from 10\/17<\/a><\/font> – 10\/18\/2018 – 704
<\/font>Hate on Our Media?<\/a><\/font> – 1\/8\/2019 – 615
<\/font>Christmas 2018<\/a><\/font> – 12\/25\/2018 – 544
<\/font>Fleecing the Sheeple<\/a><\/font> – 1\/9\/2019 – 520<\/font><\/p>\n

The count represents only the people who opened the page for that specific article.  Three were from January.  I wrote four.  I would have been happier to see more of our other authors\u2019 work represented here.  JD and Nameless have written fine articles.  Lona is still adjusting to living upside down in a heat wave.  Congrats to Squatch for the month’s most popular article!<\/font><\/p>\n

Here are our top non-blog\/news referrers (100 referral minimum):<\/font><\/p>\n

Care2<\/a><\/font>   2,777
<\/font>Google<\/a><\/font> 2,621
<\/font>Baidu<\/a><\/font> 132<\/font><\/p>\n

Here are our top  blog\/news referrers:<\/font><\/p>\n

http:\/\/infidel753.blogspot.com\/<\/a><\/font>
<\/font>http:\/\/alterx.blogspot.com\/<\/a><\/font>
<\/font>http:\/\/bildungblog.blogspot.com\/<\/a><\/font>
<\/font>http:\/\/www.davedubya.com\/<\/a><\/font><\/p>\n

We had 4 sites with 2 or more referrals.  Putting blogs\u2019 links here increases the ratings of their sites, so this \u201clinkey love\u201d is our thank you for their referral support.  We still need to improve this.<\/font><\/p>\n

As of midnight January 1, we had 8,774 articles and 105,184 comments.<\/font><\/p>\n

JD won a another Big Mouth Award for the 103,000th comment on November 9.  Animae won 2 in a row for the 104,000th and 105,000th comments on December 18 and January 25.  We think she\u2019s taking it over.  More kudos for both, please. Big Mouth winners at 10,000 levels will have their choice of a PP mug or a PP T Shirt.  Staff will remain eligible to be winners at the 1,000 levels.  Winners at prize winning levels will be the first non-staff commenter at or above.  If any staff member wants a mug or a T Shirt, let me know.<\/font><\/p>\n

I recommend using your own avatar. Go to <\/font>Gravatar<\/a><\/font>.  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.<\/font><\/p>\n

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 in August 2017 to give them the ability to add graphics to comments and the ability to correct my innumerable typos.<\/font><\/p>\n

This is our policy on links.  We do not embed links to extreme Republican websites, like Faux Noise, Breitfart <\/em>or World Nut Daily<\/em>.  However I leave notes in square brackets when I delete such links, (example: [faux noise delinked]<\/em>) 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.<\/font><\/p>\n

I’m so glad Democrats won the House.  You and people like you are responsible for that.<\/font><\/p>\n

Thank you for your support here, and kudos for all the good you do, everywhere you do it.<\/font><\/p>\n
