Even in Alexa ratings, anti-Hillary sites tanking since last month

[Candido77]

Someone apparently used the "rank" feature instead of the "reach" feature as "proof" that anti-Hillary websites were not taking.
The "reach" featured is more useful, because, for example, the Chicago Bulls might lose 7 games in a row, yet remain in the same ranking in the standings. However, it would be misleading to say that their performance has been neutral or "even" in that stretch.

Here are Alexa graphs showing that these websites are in fact tanking:



Now see a comparision of Daily Kos and MYDD for the last month:

[Zueda]

1. Good point!

Anti-Hillary sites are no longer needed...

It's been over for a while now.

[maximusveritas]

2. It's called normal variation.

Clearly, the traffic has peaks and valleys. They were just in a valley late last month, but they're still at the same point as at the beginning of the year. So they're clearly not tanking long-term.

[Yukari Yakumo]

16. Note where the peaks are...

Early February and Early March... Gee, didn't something happen right around those times?

3. As far as anti-Hillary sites go, what is DU's ranking?

[Forkboy]

10. He's dead. You need a Ouiji board to get your answer.

[phrigndumass]

15. The OP is dead, too!

Granite pizza ... (I don't know what Ignored said to you, but I bet your reply was about the TS)

:rofl:

22. "As far as anti-Hillary sites go, what is DU's ranking?"

I'll let you guess the poster. If you like I can pm it to you.

[phrigndumass]

23. It can only be one of four people

I only have four posters on ignore. That's four turds in the toilet, and I don't feel the need to pick just one to flush.

:hi:

[gateley]

4. Good.

None of us is served well by slopping around in hate-filled environs.

I hope this is an indication that we've all gotten it out of our systems and we can focus on getting a Dem in the WH in 2009.

[Catherina]

5. Want to see something even funnier?

[Political Heretic]

8. LOL - that goes well with the point I was making too!

[Forkboy]

11. Well, that's an anti Clinton site so what did you expect?

Oh...wait....

[dkf]

12. whoa. That can't be good.

[cliffordu]

14. Yeah, that anti-hillary site seems to be tanking....

Uh, wait a minute.....

Nevermind!!!

:rofl:

[anigbrowl]

18. Or indeed...

[anigbrowl]

20. Try comparing the two candidate's sites

Obama consistently has about 3x the traffic of Hillary's. As for hillaryis44.com...oh, not in top 100,000.

[Forkboy]

21. "As for hillaryis44.com...oh, not in top 100,000. "

But #1 in their heads. :D

[Political Heretic]

6. Looks about average with past ups and downs, its also meaningless without comparison to

non-anti-hillary blogs.

It's most likely that the absence off any primary has caused a tapering off in political blogs across the spectrum.

[DerekJ]

7. A much easier graph for the math impaired.

HE IS GAINING YOU FUCKING MORONS

In April he had 4 million visitors in 3 days, that's almost 40 million at the ned of the month, meaning in April he is even doing better than march.

9. Bwah! Your headline made me laugh out loud. n/t

[Hepburn]

13. Yep, they are tanking....

...because she is a proven fucking no good liar and no one gives a shit about her anymore.

Your point?

[dkf]

17. Hey we are neck and neck with Hillary!

19. Kos is gaining over the past three months... rather dramatically

Dramatic increase in traffic since January per actual tracking

This meme is getting silly

[youknowmenotdlc]

24. Their might be another explanation

People are starting to see that Hillary is already dead in the water so the incentive to vocally oppose her is lessened. I know from personal experience that I have gone from actively posting about my preference for candidates to relative boredom and just waiting for the eventuality of an Obama nomination.

Hillary is just over, time for the party to move on and concentrate on Obama Vs Mcain.

25. Ranking sites, particularly Alexa, are worthless

They're a way to pry money out of the budgets of dim witted pointy-haired bosses.
