I decided to explore the presence of voter-generated content on candidate sites and its effect on the site's rank. The results I found are presented below.</p> <table border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="2"> <tbody> <tr> <td> <strong>Candidate</strong> </td> <td> <strong>Google Index</strong> (1) </td> <td> <strong>Alexa Rank</strong> (2) </td> <td> <strong>Alexa Movement</strong> (3) </td> <td> <strong>Time Caucus Poll</strong> (4) </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <strong>Barack Obama</strong> </td> <td> 81,100 </td> <td> 10,432 </td> <td> +81,041 </td> <td> 24% </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Hillary Clinton </td> <td> 651 </td> <td> 16,567 </td> <td> +281,547 </td> <td> 31% </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <strong>John Edwards</strong> </td> <td> 44,600 </td> <td> 30,957 </td> <td> +110,363 </td> <td> 16% </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <strong>Dennis Kucinich</strong> </td> <td> 24,900 </td> <td> 120,999 </td> <td> +101,136 </td> <td> 0% </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Bill Richardson </td> <td> 7 </td> <td> 282,570 </td> <td> n/a </td> <td> 3% </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Joe Biden </td> <td> 220 </td> <td> 287,872 </td> <td> +3,211,444 </td> <td> 2% </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Chris Dodd </td> <td> 1,150 </td> <td> 385,734 </td> <td> n/a </td> <td> 1% </td> </tr> <tr> <td> &nbsp; </td> <td> &nbsp; </td> <td> &nbsp; </td> <td> &nbsp; </td> <td> &nbsp; </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Rudy Giuliani </td> <td> 162 </td> <td> 104,543 </td> <td> +1,046,698 </td> <td> 35% </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Mitt Romney </td> <td> 397 </td> <td> 108,829 </td> <td> n/a </td> <td> 11% </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <strong>John McCain</strong> </td> <td> 1,090 </td> <td> 119,846 </td> <td> n/a </td> <td> 22% </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Sam Brownback </td> <td> 153 </td> <td> 347,878 </td> <td> +727,119 </td> <td> 2% </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Tom Tancredo </td> <td> 14 </td> <td> 416,689 </td> <td> n/a </td> <td> 0% </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Mike Huckabee </td> <td> 153 </td> <td> 577,387 </td> <td> n/a </td> <td> 1% </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Jim Gilmore </td> <td> 22 </td> <td> 2,334,217 </td> <td> n/a </td> <td> 1% </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>Note: Candidates that allow significant voter-generated presence on their sites are <strong>bolded</strong>.</p> <p><a href="http://www.techpresident.com/blog/entry/214/looking_at_voter_generated_presence_on_candidate_websites">read more</a></p> http://www.techpresident.com/blog/entry/214/looking_at_voter_generated_presence_on_candidate_websites#comment Barack Obama campaign bloggers Chris Dodd Hillary Clinton John Edwards John McCain social networking Tue, 03 Apr 2007 01:56:36 -0400 Fred Stutzman 214 at http://www.techpresident.com
