Google has added its perspective — with a search-data-based popularity contest — to the comparisons between Occupy Wall Street and the Tea Party.
The data rules in favor of Occupy Wall Street. Users searched for the nascent movement more than the Tea Party for the first time in the United States on Sept. 24, according to Google’s politics blog. Search traffic for the term “Occupy Wall Street” has remained higher ever since.
Vermont, Oregon and New York are the biggest searchers of Occupy Wall Street. Tea Party search traffic peaks every April during tax season.
Because Occupy Wall Street has gotten a good deal of media attention throughout the past several weeks, it seems unfair to compare its search traffic to the Tea Party’s search traffic from only September and October. But Google notes that, even when each movement’s historical peak amount of search traffic is compared, Occupy Wall Street still has the slightly higher number of searches.
The search giant also analyzed recent media coverage of each movement to determine whether its comparison was fair. Between Oct. 7 and last week, the volume of news stories about Occupy Wall Street was only slightly higher than the volume of news stories about the Tea Party.

Speaking of Occupy Wall Street...if you haven't seen the truth about the movement yet...you haven't watched the latest episode of the Les Dowrey Show. Watch It Here!
Must be one ore two people in Vermont running robots to get the click count high. Not that many people in Vermont, I hear.
The OCCUPY protests are a more inclusive organization. They openly accept naked Communists and neo-Nazis in their ranks and the media thinks this is just fine, not even newsworthy.
occupy wall street crime
occupy wall street rape
occupy wall street defecation
occupy wall street riot
occupy wall street filth
Join the fun, and boost the rankings. :-)
Those Occupy folks beat a lot of things (they used to just do it in their Mom’s basement)
TT
ROFL
Yeah; the Tea Party is reported as negative/biased hit pieces, and they count those as "reporting coverage".
The OWS is portrayed as a tidal wave sweeping the country, and positive coverage 90% of the time in the State-Run-Media (which INCLUDES Google).
Very underwhelming results, IMHO.
LMAO
Of course they get more searches..those occupy wall street idiots are a laughing stock. People want to see what idiocy they will do next, and where to be on the lookout for crazy hippie losers taking dumps on sidewalks
See! See! America loves Occupy Wall Street and wants Socialism. The racist extreme fringe Tea Party is dead!!!!!
Allegra ... You know that I will treasure that LMAO forever ... (I’ve had a crush on you for years)

The Tea Parties are pretty quiet right now but then again, we don’t throw month long street tantrums.
No surprise as to the “survey” results. There is more media chatter about OWS and their goals, or lack of it. There is certainly more media interest in OWS, driving popularity. And I imagine people living within 10 miles of these occupied sites want to know if it’s safe to drive to work, or will they drive into a hail of rubber bullets and CS.
TEA Party, on the other hand, is ignored as a matter of policy.
these people now are really reaching.
I was there at the Tea Party. and let me tell you, this
shanty towns ain’t like the Tea Party. reminds me of the college apartheid
shanties of the 80s.
we had many more events. HUndreds of thousands, instead of 100.
What desperation by the Mainstream Media to force this down our throat
just like the Obamacare law.
Force it down our throat.
the Lamestream media.
The Occupypublicparks crowd is much younger and far more tech saavy. These people do nothing but use a computer all day. Folks interested in the Tea Party tend to be older and connect more exclusively by email.
****These people do nothing but use a computer all day.***
Exactly: Owsers search Google to find a bathroom! When that fails...well you know the rest.
Well, thank you so much for your very kind words! {blush} You just made my day!
Plus, it makes up for the ones on here who hate me simply because I don't allow them to bully me. :-)
Have a great evening!
That’s what I was thinking.
Also....don’t sites like Kos encourage lefties to do many of certain kinds of searches in order to impact Google results?
