In July, Politics Plus performed poorly in every category.  Uniques, visits, page views, hits and bandwidth are all down from June\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.  There are several reasons for the decrease.  One of our biggest non-blog referrers received complaints from people who do not want this message heard.  We I was banned from posting our links.  When I finally learned what happened, I contacted their management, and we worked it out, but most of the month was gone. The other reason is the time I missed with health problems.<\/font><\/p>\n

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

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

\"Clustrmap080111\"<\/font><\/p>\n

Our Clustrmap reset the morning of 2\/28, starting over from scratch. The largest circles represent over 1,000 visits.  The tiniest represent one to ten.<\/font><\/p>\n

Our average durations were up from 219 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

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
