Website Ratings for Dean and Clark

[slinkerwink]

Dean
http://traffic.alexa.com/graph?w=379&h=216&r=6m&u=deanforamerica.com/&u=

Traffic rank: 3,859


Clark
http://traffic.alexa.com/graph?w=379&h=216&r=6m&u=americansforclark.com/&u=



Traffic rank: 59,340



The lower the number is, the more hits that a website gets. It looks like Dean's website is beating out Clark's website in terms of reaching out to people via the internet.

1. Those are weekly rankings

And based on Gore's endorsement...may be skewed a bit. But congrats anyway...

2. Well, I'm sure Marcus and

crew will get right on it. Expect those ratings to go sky high within minutes. Hi marcus!

9. VERY GOOD POINT, Slinkerwink is not revealing the WHOLE TRUTH.............

SHOCKING, I know............

But then again........

[slinkerwink]

10. I thought http://www.americansforclark.com/ was the right url

and besides, clark04.com still doesn't compare to http://www.deanforamerica.com

[_Jumper_]

11. Here is the correct URL for Dean

www.deanforamericans.com ;)

[slinkerwink]

13. nope, that one's a right wing site

doesn't merit a mention.

[_Jumper_]

19. That looks like a liberal site

Why would conservatives want to "stop Dean"? ;)

[_Jumper_]

4. How many people visit those sites?

A few fringe activists will not result in victory in 2004.

[Clark Can WIN]

12. LOL

I'm sure you were sure too........... right? Sure. hah!

[_Jumper_]

15. Yeah, I don't know the URL for Clark's real site

:eyes:

Read post #6. I obviously looked into the matter.

The number of hits on Clark's real website do not even come close to the number at Dean's site; anyone who has been following the support the candidates have on the internet would already know that.

[slinkerwink]

14. it clearly shows that Clark doesn't have grassroots power via internet

but that Dean does.

[_Jumper_]

17. 90% of people on DU already knew that

It is true that Dean has far greater support on the internet, as well as stronger grass root support than Clark. However, that does not assuage the number one fear Democrats have about a Dean candidacy. Here is a Dean website that will give you an idea as to what those fears are: http://www.deanmcgovern.com/

5. Slinkerwink,

You are a tireless if poorly informed propagandist. The URL is NOT the clark website.

Now, on to substantive matters. Is there really some point to all of these stupid little mini-competitions you post to instigate ... er ... what exactly? Do you think this is actually earning the Dean campaign some kudos. You're obviously motivated, intelligent and have some time on your hands. How about using it to better illustrate Dean's strengths or write limericks or something.

8. I actually like what she does

We need a few more people like her here. ;)

6. You forgot to mention this about their site rankings

;)

http://pages.alexa.com/features/candidates.html

"It also appears that candidates Clark and Dean are losing some ground."

"Ohio's Dennis Kucinich picked up enough traffic in the month of November to bring him into the spotlight. His positions on everything from flag burning (he's against it) to NAFTA (he'd end it promptly if elected) have managed to create an impressive surge in Web traffic."

"Another newcomer to the Web traffic graph, John Edwards, has gained as well. The wealthy attorney turned Senator for North Carolina has a more moderate platform and a great story about being the son of a millworker, and he's definitely still in the running if you watch his Web traffic."

[incapsulated]

7. Oh, boy!

A website hit pissing contest!

[Dookus]

16. yes...

and one in which the original poster doesn't even use the RIGHT Clark website.

But I can't say I'm surprised.

[_Jumper_]

18. Her point still stands

We all make mistakes.

I am sure that after learning about General Clark after finally visiting his site she will change her opinion about which candidate to support. ;)

[slinkerwink]

20. I already visited his site----and I'm with Dean all the way

[QC]

21. But I bet neither site is as popular as nastyschoolgirls.com!

Clearly we need to nominate a nasty schoolgirl!

[maddezmom]

27. QC~ thanks for the humor

Have to admit, I scanned this thread....and only looked at this one. :)

[ConsAreLiars]

22. That's worthy of .....

You pick the main Dean site and some obscure Clark site for comparison?

Wow!

(edit: extra "s")

[slinkerwink]

23. it's not an obscure clark site---it used to be the main clark site

before they changed the name to clark04.com

[ConsAreLiars]

25. Sorry

I should have said "obsolete" instead of "obscure." My mistake,and thanks for pointing out my error.

[VT70]

24. I'm not stupid, you know

Obviously a #1 ranking is better than a #343,222 ranking.

26. Candidate url confusion--

Upon reading this thread, I realized that I hadn't visited any of the candidate's websites as much as I should have because I'm not sure of the exact url for their official websites, and I would guess I'm not alone. The times I have wanted to visit a candidate website I have gone to google first to figure out what it is.

There's no way to measure this but it probably has some negative impact on getting the Dem message out to uncommitted people like me.

[maddezmom]

28. Good for Dean,,,but not all folks live their life on and thru the web n/t

[jumptheshadow]

29. Dean campaign tunnel vision

1) Website ratings can be easily manipulated by a campaign and its supporters. Ultimately they are as reliable as Internet polls.

2) What about the older and poorer folks who don't have the skills or easy access to the Internet? They are core Democratic voters. Dean's supporters seem to be doing a pretty good job of ignoring them.

[slinkerwink]

30. I never said anything about the Dean campaign ignoring traditional voters

We're doing canvassing, getting the vote out, etcetera....
