January review
Top Ten Posts
I’d like to thank you all for continuing to come here and read my thoughts about South Tyneside, Gordon Brown and the world in general, after a couple of months hiatus traffic in January has taken an almighty leap, more people came here last month than in any January since I started, average daily readership grew by almost twenty percent and page views peaked at 5.2 on the 15th. 25,401 unique visitors produced over 132,000 page views. I am humbled, thank you very much.
If you missed any of these, here are the top ten traffic drivers for last month.
- Sex pictures shock
- Heather Mills McCartney
- Peace Protest
- Red faces all round
- Blog awards shortlist
- Nissan doesn’t need a bailout
- Confidence – trick
- Real face of Hamas
- Barred!
- Who did it?
Top ten referrers
These are the blogs which provided the links which helped people to get here, especially those who may not have been here before. It’s always worth visiting other blogs and participating in their discussions, the link to your own blog will prove to be useful in the future.
- Labour in South Shields
- Samizdata
- Dizzy Thinks
- 10 Drowning Street
- Mr. Monkey’s blog
- Tractor Stats
- Rossinisbird
- Old Holborn
- John M. Ward
- Letters from a Tory
Mr.Monkey may wish to go through his blog page by page to remove every reference to the Corner Shop, the Fat Mackem Hobbit, and every link or comment that I ever made there. Having barred me from his blog, his readers are still finding a way here.


























Of course you continue to get referrals from his site – he makes reference to you and Potts all the time, so why wouldn’t his readers check you out.
Many bloggers re your post have national reputations – Monkey comes in 5th re your list. Not bad for the new blogger on the (local) block.
Envy?
Jealousy?
Perhaps even lust?
Or all three me thinks?

“Many bloggers re your post have national reputations”
Wow, you’ve boosted the egos of Rossinisbird and the local Labour Party!
