Monthly Report for June 2018

Compared to May, June results were up in Uniques and Bandwidth and down in Visits, Page Views and Hits.  Those are mixed, and I have no explanation for them.

Here is our latest summary:

 

Compared with last June, we are down in Uniques, identical in Visits, and up in every other category.  That means fewer visitors are doing more.

Here is our ClustrMap for 2018 YTD.  This is six months’ traffic.

ClustrMap misses a lot of visits, because many visits can’t be easily traced to a location.

Here are our top five articles:

DO NOT CONGRATULATE! 3/21/2018 976
Bill Maher from 6/1 6/2/2018 854
Poll Results – 6/3/2018 6/3/2018 821
To Shame or Not to Shame? 6/24/2018 799
Republicans on Parade – 6/26/2018 6/26/2016 700

The count represents only the people who opened the page for that specific article.  All were from this year.   Four were from June.  I wrote all five.  I would have been happier to see more of our other authors’ work represented here.  Lona has been preparing for the great  migration, the Squatch is still hiding from green tornados, and Nameless has been busy on the home front, but JD has published some truly superior articles.

Here are our top non-blog/news referrers (100 referral minimum):

Google 10,409
Care2  3,424 
Stumbleupon 421
Facebook 244
Baidu 149

Google was way up, Care2 and Stumbleupon were down.  Baidu was virtually unchanged.  Facebook made the list, and Reddit did not.  Because I advocate unplugging from Facebook, because they keep selling clients’ personal data to enemies, I opted not to link to them.

We had 4 sites with 2 or more referrals, down 3 from May.  Putting blogs’ links here increases the ratings of their sites, so this “linkey love” is our thank you for their referral support.  We still need to improve this.  Since last month I cleaned up our blog roll and found most of the sites either were gone or had not published for years. Now I need to visit the few who remain.

As of midnight July 1, we had 8,302 articles and 99,504 comments.

Kudos to Squatch, who earned a Big Mouth Award in May for making the 99,000 comment.

I recommend using your own avatar. Go to Gravatar.  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.

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.

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

We now have four months, before we will have a major opportunity to reclaim part of our nation from the fascist Reich that possesses all three branches of government.  If you haven’t started working toward that end, you are way past due.  This is critically important, because it appears that Putin’s Puppet will get to appoint another goose-stepper to SCROTUS (Republican Unconstitutional VD).

Thank you for your support here, and kudos for all the good you do, everywhere you do it.

RESIST!!
