Monthly Report for November 2010

Our ninth full month since we moved from Blogger was even stellar, largely because one article had a huge response.  This was our second best month ever, so I’m anticipating a decrease next month.  I will consider any improvement on October a success.

Here are our basic stats:

Here is our most recent Clustrmap, last updated on November 21.

Our durations well well down from 224 seconds last month:

Number of visits: 43254 – Average: 153 s	Number of visits	Percent
0s-30s	37733	87.2 %
30s-2mn	1499	3.4 %
2mn-5mn	983	2.2 %
5mn-15mn	1046	2.4 %
15mn-30mn	608	1.4 %
30mn-1h	769	1.7 %
1h+	616	1.4 %

That’s not a problem, because we had so many more visitors.

Search engine referrals continue to rise.

There’s some linkey-love in return  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 “thou shalt steal.”  We’re on the same side here, so I won’t mind.  Even if you want to repost a whole article, that’s OK.  Just link back, please.

Technorati increased our global Technorati Authority from 447 to 535 (rank 2,683).  That puts us back on the A list.  Our topical ratings are;

• US politics 649 (rank 129)
• Politics 603 (rank 181)
• World 479 (rank 231)

I could not be more thrilled.  Just to give you an understanding, in US Politics our authority is 331 below CNN, 131 below TPM, and 38 above SPLC Hatewatch.

We have 303,887 links on other websites, up from 65,558 last month.

We have 1,672 posts and 12,634 comments, as of midnight 12/1.

If you are tired of our wacky avatars and would like 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.  Whenever you comment under that e mail address here or on any WordPress blog (several others too), that will be your avatar.

I’m proud of our success, but I hold you equally responsible it.  This belongs to all of us.  Please feel the pride you deserve to have over the quality of your participation here.
