1,000,000th visitor to Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal
October 20, 2010 – In the early hours of October 20, 2010, Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal passed an historic milestone – its 1,000,000th visitor (since statistics began being kept on April 4, 2008). The unknown visitor entered site at Renfrey Clarke's essential article, "The new climate-change denialism: Who promotes it, and how to answer it".
Those 1 million visitors have collectively read more than 1.33 million articles since April 2008.
Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal's mission has been to promote the revival of a democratic, ecological, thinking, activist socialism, and to encourage and publicise the activities and views of active socialists around the world who are rebuilding the socialist and radical alternative in deed as well as word.
Links' success is especially gratifying because there were some who claimed – when we took the decision to go solely online, rather than continue to produce the excellent but largely unread hard-copy version – that Links was being "closed down" and was part of an abandonment of our fundamental socialist principles. Well, there are now more than a million arguments against that pessimistic forecast.
Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal would like to thank all its readers, contributors, collaborators and well wishers for their assistance in passing this important milestone, in particular the comrades of the Socialist Alliance and Green Left Weekly in Australia, without whom Links could not appear. We'd like give special mention to our comrades in Socialist Voice in Canada, the Socialist Party of Malaysia, the Labour Party Pakistan, the Partido Lakas ng Masa in the Philippines, the People's Democratic Party (Indonesia) and Working People's Association (Indonesia), the Communist Party of India (ML) Liberation, Socialist Worker New Zealand, Patrick Bond from South Africa, and many other left parties, workers' groups, liberation movements and individual activists who have made Links an important asset for the entire world socialist movement.

Another important milestone
Another important milestone in the process of internationa socialist renewal, discussion and hopefully more regroupment. Big congrats to Links editor Terry Townsend who does it all in his spare time from his mountain hideout in the NSW Blue Mountains!
congrats to links...!
Big cheers for Links' editor Terry Townsend and its contributors for providing a space for left discussions.
Wow thats a great
Wow thats a great accomplishment reaching 1,000,000+ visitor and counting for sure.
I followed the tweets already and added also in FB.
Cheers,

Congratulations from the Socialist Party of Malaysia
Socialist Party of Malaysia (PSM) would like to congratulate Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal for achieving the historical milestone of 1,000,000 visitors for over the last 2 years. The website has been a great resource for news, information, activities, debates and discussions on the social movements and struggles all around the world. We hope the Links will continue to spread the words on socialism and reach out to more readers in the future.
In solidarity,

Partido Lakas ng Masa Philippines congratulates Links magazine
We congratulate Links and note that since going on-line the journal has become more accessible to us here in the Philippines. It's an invaluable resource for socialist analysis, discussion and debate. We also appreciate the inclusiveness of the magazine, as it carries articles from socialists and the socialist movement from a variety of perspectives. Keep up the excellent work.
My favourite site
Woow....Indonesian visitors : 2,627!!!!
Good!
Very good!
This site is one of my favourite.
Ever onward!
Congratulations!
Power to the people!
1,000,000th visitor
IMPRESSIVE!!!
It is with deep appreciation for the huge amount of work that it takes to produce "LINKS" that I offer my congratulations. The quality of the publication is so consistent that one feels Terry, himself, must be hard wired into the net and global culture.
Congratulations! We need
Congratulations! We need political diversity and awareness of that as much as in any other area.
Felicitaciones / Congratulations
Congratulations to LINKS and all its supporters as we celebrate the one millionth reader.
I guess Nicaragua does not show on your listings because many of us use email sites based in the USA such as Yahoo or Google.
But put us down for at least three I know of, and I am sure there are more -- even though English is for most a second or third language in the land of Sandino and Carlos Fonseca.

66 from Nicaragua
Thanks Felipe.
But I can see 66 visitors from Nicaragua, and that is between May 14, 2010, and September 25, 2010.
Terry
Congratulations!
And thank you. Keep up the good work! Yours in solidarity.......
Congratulations!
Great job everyone at Links, and thank you for helping to educate people on the real issues! More and more people are realizing they cannot live with capitalism and imperialism.
Top stuff
Great work keep it up, heres to a million more.
Links is a very valuable way of facilitating practical real internationalism by ensuring differrent socialists and left activists are aware of what each other are up to and what fights they are facing.
Big ups ;)
Congratulations!
India count is 8,450! Wow....that's great.
Looking at the numbers
It is striking how LINKS is primarily accessed by folks in BANA: Britain / Australia NZ / North America (ca. 110,000), as compared with much of Europe.
How low access is across the Arab world. Remarkable low no. of visits from Israel, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon. Likewise from Russia, Belarus, Ukraine. The almost non-existent access from China, where we suppose LINKS is largely blocked. Strikingly slight no. of visits from Africa outside of SA. Relatively low scoring for Japan, a bit surprising.
Encouraging are the remarkable figures for THAILAND, highest by far in SE Asia [just compare for ex. with Indonesia or Vietnam], and 2.5x greater than Malaysia, where English far better known. Thailand more than double Germany [!], almost 5x higher than France for example -- and nearly as much as India, where English is far better known. 7 times [!] that of Turkey, a country of comparable size and somewhat greater 'development' than Thailand. This may be due in part to the RedShirt upsurge and LINKS reporting on it. Unlike Malaysia, Thailand has no organized party on the left whatsoever, let alone a socialist movement.
In any event, some very interesting statistics here, worth a study.
