Stickiness (none / 0)

FWIW, I get most of my traffic from Kos referrals in any given month. These are presumably people clicking on his blog links to my front page, since Kos hasn't linked to a specific post in a long time. A link to a post from Atrios or Kevin Drum generally generates about two or three days' worth of high traffic (highest on Day One, dropping off afterwards).

Just my observation. I definitely agree that we don't have a delivery mechanism to the media like the wingers do. Don't know what we can do about that.

Kos links muted at MyDD (none / 0)

It is hard to trace the impact of Kos links on MyDD, since arond 30% of our daily traffic is generated by permanent links to MyDD on Kos's front page (House, Senate and Governor outlook, plus the glorified spot in the blogroll). As such, I imagine other blogs might have a different impact from kos links than we do.

Re: Stickiness (none / 0)

One thing that may contribute to the "Atrios effect" is the general terseness of Atrios's posts. When a 'Kos post links to a story, he usually includes a quote and a great deal of context, so you can get the "feel" of the linked story without having to click through. Atrios, in contrast, often posts just one or two sentences with a link, so you're pretty much forced to click through to figure out what he's talking about.
If you're always playing the fear card, it's a pretty good sign you're not playing with a full deck!
