Note where the Clark blog is today. Then look at the Dean blog's traffic for the entire past 12 months. Interesting, huh?

1. Interesting? No, not really.

Unless useless factoids are your thing. :shrug:

2. By all means

let us not get worried about facts. After all, "you have the power." Wait...WE have the power. And guess who we're supporting?

6. Fact-OID!

It's completely irrelevant, and indicative of nothing. Look at DK's numbers--- they certainly don't transalte into any meaningful political support. :shrug:

4. I like useless factoids

That's why we argue Amtrak subsidies here. :)

3. I'm Not Sure What You're Getting At

Maybe it's just too early.

5. What do they say

I won't go to Alexa because it leaves scumware on my PC.

8. It says

The Clark blog's daily traffic exceeds the daily traffic that the Dean blog has had for every day for the past 12 months, icluding the entire existence of both blogs. Of course, you might say it's just a fact or factoid. :)

7. compare home pages

Dean's home page is ranked 3,542
Clark's home page is ranked 8,010

So while clark has more bloggers, Dean is getting more hits (and you can read that a couple of ways.)

But what is far more important than who is visiting what web site, is what that both sites are drawing lots of folks, and no matter who wins we are going to send bush back to Crawford, or New Haven, or where ever he really comes from.

Anybody but bush - and don't forget it.

9. How does Alexa compile it's statistics?

From morons who are stupid enough to allow Alexa to install sypware on their computers.

"Alexa computes traffic rankings by analyzing the Web usage of millions of Alexa Toolbar users."

10. Exactly

If you're using the Alexa toolbar, you're giving away your privacy amongst other things.
