Here is the top “Stuff” of 2009 on this Blog.
The top posting on Political Byline for 2009 is a posting, that I did sort of on a lark. It was one, that I like to refer to as an “In between posting.” I had just pushed out some rather impressive posts, that were about the politics of that day; and I was waiting for some more information to come out about another story, and I had noticed some postings had come up about Republicans lying about healthcare. So, I went, “Hmmm, didn’t Obama do some pretty big lying during the 2008 election?” and So, I asked anyone on twitter, if there was any videos up about Obama lying. The response was overwhelming to say the least! So, I hopped over to YouTube and just typed in “Obama Lies” and woo boy! —— Talk about results! So, anyhow, I picked out three of the best videos of the lot, just typed up article that had a bit of a conspiratorial tone to it and put it up. I never expected in a million years that this posting would even be read by one person, much less 4,350 people!
So, yes, my top posting on 2009 is:
Lies, Damned Lies and more Lies
Runners up are: A posting that I ended up pulling, Answering Laurence Vance, Updated: Why I left the libertarian ranks: Exhibit A – Hatred of the United States Military, The ‘Hey, that’s a pretty new gun!’ posting of the month, Helen Thomas goes nuclear over the Obama Administration’s controlled Townhall meetings and controlled press, Obama Bows to his Arab Masters.

In 2009, this Blog had a total of 225,280 visitors, not including me. The average user, per day, was 617 visitors per day. Which does not take in account some of the huge traffic spikes around here.
Now, those stats were according to WordPress.com Stats, which by the way, is an excellent WordPress plug in.
According to GoStats.com, which is an excellent counter for blogs and such. here are my yearly stats:

My Week averages were:

So, there you have it. Those numbers are not to shabby for someone who really has not done any advertising at all. Oh, I’ve done a little on Blogads, and project wonderful, but nothing to the extent of others. Another thing too, this is a single author blog and many of those have low numbers. So, all in all, it was a good year. I did well, made some money, and some enemies. But, it was all worth it to me. Standing up for what is right, is what I do here and if I happen to make some people angry in the process, I count it par for the course.
Of course, I have you all to thank for it. All of you who donated, all of you, who clicked on the ads, all of you, who just came and read. All of you who linked in, you know who you are; I thank each and every one of you. I thank you for coming, for linking and for honestly caring enough to keep coming around. I am humbled by the numbers, this is not about me. This about you, about America, standing for what we believe in, standing for the America that I remember as a boy, growing up.
Now it is time to move on to 2010. We have some great battles ahead; the 2010 elections are coming. This is not time to slack, we must be strong, we have to be ready, we must be vigilant; we are at war, against terrorists; who wish to destroy this nation; against Socialists who wish to destroy our world, as we know it today. The battle lines have been drawn. We must, as the saying goes, Fight on!
To a Prosperous, Healthy, and Yes, Victorious 2010!
