In June, Politics Plus enjoyed record performance in every category except one, unique visitors, which fell 404 short of the record.  Visits, page views, hits and bandwidth are all up from March\u2019s record.  I consider page views most important, because to generate more than one page view on a visit, someone has to open other pages to actually read them.<\/font><\/p>\n

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

\"vv6-11\"<\/font><\/p>\n

Here is our most recent Clustrmap, last updated on July 1.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"ClustrMap6-11\"<\/font><\/p>\n

Our Clustrmap reset the morning of 2\/28, starting over from scratch, so the above map represents just four months\u2019 traffic. The largest circles represent over 1,000 visits.  The tiniest represent one to ten.<\/font><\/p>\n

Our average durations were up from 195 seconds last month:<\/font><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s some linkey-love in return  The best ways you can spread the message to others is to use the share button at the bottom of each article to list our articles on the the networking sites where you belong. Quote PP articles on your own blogs also helps.  The operative commandment here is \u201cthou shalt steal<\/strong>.\u201d  We\u2019re on the same side here, and I encourage.  Even if you want to repost a whole article, that\u2019s OK.  Just link back, please.  Also, feel free to swipe my graphics in the articles.  If they are labeled with our URL, they are my work.<\/font><\/p>\n

We have a new feature occasioned by a new plugin.  I almost screwed the pooch again on this one, because it reset before midnight in our time zone.  Fortunately, I had pulled it early, just in case.  Here are the top ten commenters for June.<\/font><\/p>\n

The widget is in the right column.  I don\u2019t count, as I\u2019m the resident big mouth, and I try to reply to every comment.  Those who leave their URLs in their comments, get linkey love. <\/font><\/p>\n

Technorati<\/a> remains a complete mystery to me.  Despite our record performance, our ratings declined in every category except World.  I have no idea why.  We barely made the A List.<\/font><\/p>\n
