Alexa? WTF? You can’t afford Hitwise or some other useful traffic ranking system?

(jk – really cool article)

It would be damn interesting to investigate this further to determine whether Obama’s numerical supremacy is a leading indicator. If you assumed that Alexa graph was predictive you could have scored some major cash back before Iowa.

A cool project would be to collect these stats for statewide races, even local ones. And then match them up against market-based indicators, like Tradesports. Predictive? Coincidental? Lagging?

The thing about Clinton’s support ranging to the older set is certainly true, but they have the bulk of our economy’s disposable income too. They are more wired than you give them credit for.

Awesome post.

Unique, Nicky. + rep.

It’s also worth noting that Obama is a new deal while Clinton has been around for decades so it would make sense that there would be more web buzz with Obama. That and what you already said about the older blue collar crowd.

“Neither Obama’s or Hillary’s websites keyword stuff the title tag or anything”

Um, I thought this would make them both loosers then.

OK, I didn’t phrase that properly. Made it sound like mine was the final word there. I was just trying to say that I’ve got pretty good data contradicting yours.

You’re off on the keywords, I’m afraid. I ran ads on Super Tuesday that got 50K impressions and they weren’t advertising on almost all of the keywords. Likewise, their sites aren’t useful nor ranking in that regard.

Nice comparison, I did a similar spreadsheet with all the candidates last year when they first announced their candidacy, even then, Obama will well ahead of the rest of the pack. If the elections were online, Barack would win hands down.
