Fascinating Stuff

I just received an e-mail from someone about a fascinating website: Quantcast. It keeps track of how many people visit blogs of the candidates (for president). For instance, look at this: a comparison between Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, and Barack Obama. As you can see, Hillary’s entry into the presidential race this past January resulted in nearly 120K unique visitors in one day.

If you go here you can find more specific information about, in this case, Hillary Clinton(‘s website). Replace “Hillary Clinton” with “Mitt Romney” and you get this: “51k+ U.S. monthly uniques. The site attracts a primarily older, more educated, mostly Caucasian, rather male audience.”

John McCain: “96k+ U.S. monthly uniques. The site caters to a primarily older, rather male, more affluent, more educated following.”
