From www.wordstream.com:

...But being a search marketer, I launched my own investigation to see if I could find out more information about the dynamics of this US Senate race based on internet marketing and social media metrics. The findings (based on data collected on January 14) were staggering.

The data suggests that conventional pollsters and Washington insiders have it completely wrong – that it won't be a tight race, and that State Senator Scott Brown will win by a landslide.

...So in summary, Scott Brown is way ahead in this race, with the following numbers:

10:1 Advantage in YouTube video views
4:1 Advantage in Facebook fans
3:1 Advantage in Twitter mentions
10:1 Advantage in estimated web traffic

-- snip --

...It could be that the average Coakley supporter doesn't use the internet or social media venues as much as the average Scott Brown supporter. Again: is it plausible that her supporters use social media 3 to 10 times less?

It's also noteworthy to point out that in November 2008, Alexa had Barack Obama with an estimated five times larger Web presence over John McCain – and President Obama was famous for his success in connecting with the electorate over Twitter, YouTube and Facebook – and he won that election in a landslide.

In summary, while the data might not be complete, all available signs in the Social Media sphere currently point to a pretty strongly to a win by Scott Brown next week.

Interesting!

Martha is the UNcool candidate.

In fact, she’s a shrew.

Bachman/Brown 2012

I wonder how the web searches for say Cristie in NJ and the new GOP gov in VA were doing versus the Dems in the most recent election?

I am sure Corzine searches were probably pretty low.

I think that Brown now has a better than even chance to win this thing —— maybe even lots better with how fast the dynamic has been changing in recent days.... BUT, I don’t think the Alexa/search metrics mean anything at all for a state race unless those numbers are “geo-targeted” to Mass. likely voters only......

Assuming they are national/worldwide web numbers, it only shows that Scott Brown has generated lots of interest and attention far beyond the state (I’m writing this from 2300 miles away). There are other indications that support and enthusiasm are growing for him within Mass., but it makes no sense for the writer to compare those web metrics with Obama v. McCain unless he is getting search numbers for Mass. only — and even then it could reflect tons of Demagogues doing their own little opposition research, as in “who IS this guy who might win the KENNEDY SEAT?”

Great information RonDog!

The democrats/leftists/liberals/ACORN/SEIU/ChicagoMobPoliticalMachine will have to RAHMp up their voter fraud/illegalAlien vote to about 15% for this election.

What was it that they had for bogus votes to get Obama in, 6-8%? (just a guess)

Brown has to fight tooth and nail to get in what with the GOP not helping to fight the voter fraud.

Hopefully the “landlside” will help cancel out enough fraud for him squeak into office.
