Notes on December, 2004 ranking:

The Southern Party maintains the top ranking, which it has held consistently for the year and a half of this ranking chart. The Georgia Heritage Coalition, Southern Heritage Pac and Boycott Atlanta retained their top five ratings. The Political Vine dropped from the top five down to the 10th slot representing a drop in traffic. Boycott Coke moved up to the top five.

The next five ranked sites in the top ten were about the same as in September.  The Constitution Party was replaced by the Libertarian Party. Campaign Georgia and the Georgia Reporter fell into not ranked.

The most improved ranking for the quarter was Boycott Coke which improved its rating from 1,824,979 to 443,312 and moved from the 9th to the 4th ranked site in Georgia. The Constitution Party had the worst performance during the quarter. The CP rank dropped from 2,061,522 to a ranking of 5,725,777.  This is a drop of over 3,000,000.

The internet ranking of the top five in this chart and their subject matter demonstrate clearly that a lot of Georgians are looking outside what are considered normal channels for news and information. As increasing number of citizens connect and use the internet this will be of increasing importance in each election cycle.

Notes on September Ranking:

As you can only put so much information on one page, this has been changed to a quarterly as opposed to monthly ranking report. Looks like we forgot to load the June, 2004 results, so we have one missing quarter.

Most of the ranking were down. On political sites, which this list is, national sites are grabbing a much larger share of internet traffic. In a heated Presidential debate this is not very surprising. The largest improvement since March has been Boycott Atlanta which has was too new for a ranking in March, but has steadily risen to the third spot. The other sites that showed a major improvement are Political Vine and the Georgia Christian Coalition.

The two that dropped the most are the Georgia Libertarian Party and the Let Us Vote sites.

Notes on March 18 Ranking Update:

Both the number 1 and 2 sites; Southern Party and Georgia Heritage Coalition remained fairly steady with ranking at 30,000 and 52,000 both comparable with most daily newspapers in Georgia. The third position was maintained by the Southern Heritage PAC with a third consecutive month of improved ranking.

Other sites showing improvement are Libertarian Party, Democratic Party, Constitution Party and Christian Coalition. The Constitution Party also has shown significant improvement for the the last three months and has moved ahead of the Republican Party which is threatened with dropping out of the top ten. The Christian Coalition improved for the fifth consecutive month but remains above 2,000,000 which is still a disappointing rank. As far as internet traffic on Christians issues is concerned it is not going to the Christian Coalition in the numbers many would expect.

Bill Shipp's site rose above 2,000,000 and it still amazes us that anybody would pay to read the poor excuse for news that he publishes.

Next month and May will be very interesting as the two major parties qualifying date is April 28. One would expect some major improvement in their traffic rankings.

Notes on February 15 Update:

This ranking period contains the beginnings of the election year and current Legislative Session activity. Sure enough there were some changes in the traffic rankings, although none that are of a major type.

The Southern Party continued its number 1 ranking with its third month below 30,000. The Georgia Heritage Council continued to show major improvement moving close to 50,000. At these levels both sites have rankings competitive with some of the major newspapers in Georgia. For example the Macon Telegraph is ranked at: 46,371; the Augusta Chronicle at 27,685; the Savannah Morning News at 24,899; and Columbus Ledger-Enquirer at 52,895. Many people will be surprised to learn that these two web sites have traffic that is comparable to all but the largest newspaper in Georgia. An increasing number of Georgians are turning to these sites as they have lost faith in the biased reporting of the major newspapers.

The Southern Heritage PAC is now pulling away from the pack so to speak. The Boycott Coke, LetUsVote, Libertarian, Republican and Democratic Party sites remain in a second tier of ranking.

The Constitution Party and Christian Coalition have shown improved rankings as would be expected with the Legislature in Session, but remain pretty far back in the pack.

While internet traffic is just one component of the political scene in Georgia, it is a feature which becomes more important every election. Will be interesting to see how this translates into vote come July 20 and November 2. If it does, the ranking information indicates there will be some surprises.

Notes on January 9, 2004 Update - Some Good News and Bad News for the Politically Correct:

As the Legislature is convening in this election year, we will see the web sites below (and possibly new ones) playing an increasing role in elective politics. As a majority of the general population has internet service, the level of interest in the message presented by web sites becomes a tool that becomes more important every election cycle.

This months ranking report contains some good news and some bad news for the Atlanta Chamber, politically correct and black caucus in Georgia.

The Good News for the PC - over the last two months we have seen the Let Us Vote and Boycott Coke web sites drop from number 2 & 3 in Georgia to number 4 & 5. The PC types never did like these two web sites!

The Bad News for the PC - the number 2 & 3 spots have been taken by the Georgia Heritage Council and the Southern Heritage PAC. The PC will not like these either. In fact they will probably like them less than Let Us Vote and Boycott Coke! In fact at the rate the Georgia Heritage Council and Southern Heritage PAC are growing, they may surpass the Southern Party of Georgia.

Back when it was just the Southern Party of Georgia site competing with the established sites some called it an anomaly and not significant. In fact not one single major media outlet has reported any of this information. But the results this month when viewed with the eight months of history demonstrate something that can not be shrugged off.

The Southern Party of Georgia has maintained its position as the highest ranked site in Georgia, and is beginning to pass or run even with some of the major newspapers in the state. For seven months in a row it has been ranked above or even with the Republican National Committee site. Visitors have ranged as high as 4,000 a day and page views as high as 6,000 a day. Part of this success as determined by email feedback is the lack of Truthful reporting by the papers. People are buying the papers not for news, but so that their wives can get the shopping ads. An increasing number of people just do not believe the news printed by the papers.

The steady rise of the Georgia Heritage Council and the rapid rise of the Southern Heritage PAC above the long established Republican, Democratic and even Libertarian Party State sites also shows that these established sites are only preaching to the choir. We would be willing to bet that both the Republican and Democratic Party pay more each week for their internet facilities than the top five political sites in Georgia combined - do in a year. In fact none of the top five even have a full time employee, in their spare time, volunteers from these groups are becoming the source of political information in Georgia and totally out performing the established political sites.

It is interesting that the recent Mason Dixon poll showed that a majority of Georgians want to Vote on the 56 Flag. The top five political sites in Georgia support that view and have shown excellent traffic growth over a period of time.

The next tier of sites do not support the right of the People to vote and promote letting the Atlanta Chamber pick your Flag, sell your water, jobs, education, etc. Government of the Chamber, by the Chamber, for the Chamber just isn't selling well in Georgia.

So there you have the January Georgia Political web site ranking report. The numbers direct from Alexa.com are listed below. Some will laugh at it and discount it. But then those people predicted Barnes with a run away 65% and have demonstrated how they believe their own myths. So who cares if they laugh at it??? What will count is who is laughing on November 3, 2004.

Notes on December 7, 2003 Update:

The Southern Party of Georgia maintains its position, virtually unchallenged as the highest rated political site in Georgia. For the seventh month in a row now, the Southern Party of Georgia site has been ranked higher than the Republican National Committee site (www.rnc.org at 31,484) and has narrowed the gap with the Libertarian national site (lp.org at 18,083).

The Georgia Heritage Council has moved back to second place, although new sites tend to move up and down for the first few months.

Boycott Coke and  Let Us Vote continue to show improvement and have pulled away from the next group. The Georgia Republican, Democratic and Libertarian Parties are cycling between 500,000 and 700,000. 

The Georgia Reporter, Political Vine and Bill Shipp form a fifth  tier that cycles between 1,000,000 and 2,000,000. These sites have declined for several months and unless they improve their traffic will be minor factors in next years elections.

The Christian Coalition continues to be a surprise to us. With a third month ranked over 4,000,000 they are certainly over rated in Georgia.

Notes on November 20, 2003 Update:

The Southern Party of Georgia maintains its position, virtually unchallenged as the highest rated political site in Georgia. For the sixth month in a row now, the Southern Party of Georgia site has been ranked higher than the Republican National Committee site (www.rnc.org).

Boycott Coke, Let Us Vote, Libertarian Party, Georgia Heritage Coalition and the Republican Party are in a band of ratings ranging from about 300,000 up to 700,000 and are cycling around in that area. Will be interesting to see if one or more of these sites begins to climb in ratings in a few months when the campaigns begin to heat up a bit.

The Democratic Party, Political Vine and Bill Shipp form a third tier that cycles between 700,000 and 2,000,000, mostly under 1,000,000. These sites have shown little improvement for several months and unless they improve traffic will be minor factors in next years elections.

The Christian Coalition continues to be a surprise to us. With a second month ranked over 4,000,000 they are not going to have any web site impact in the political process in Georgia.

The up or down arrow gives the ranking trend direction since October 22.

Notes on October 22 Update:

Southern Party of Georgia continues to maintain the highest ranking in State without any real challenge. The most significant change so far during October has been the rapid rise of the new Georgia Heritage Council site. In its first month, it has risen to a solid second place rating, passing LetUsVote.org.  Despite the fact that LetUsVote.org continued its steady improvement in traffic since it was added to this list in July. Certainly not what the politically correct want to hear. Boycott Coke was forth.

The Georgia Libertarian, Democratic, Republican Parties and the Political Vine and now Bill Shipp keep flipping around in the next group, now the 5th to 8th slots. all of the pundits would tell you that this group is the bulk of political interest in the State. But as far as internet interest goes, they form a second tier, even though they have 99% of the political funds and elected officials in the State.

In this update we have added the Georgia Christian Coalition site. We were very surprised to see the very low ranking as we had assumed that it was much higher. But when we got today's Georgia Christian Coalition Alert message we noticed that they have abandoned the majority of Georgia's citizens on the issues on their candidate questionnaire. They have bowed to political correctness and Republican party pressure and abandoned one of the most common Christian symbols in the South. The St. Andrews Cross. Despite the fact that the Constitution Party and Southern Party have taken much stronger stands on Christian issues than the Republican Party we have noticed that they only mention the Republican Party. It is not surprising that a non-partisan organization such as the Georgia Heritage Coalition has zoomed past the Georgia Christian Coalition as a source of Truth and information for many Georgians.

Notes on September 8 Update:

Despite a lightning strike which destroyed two of the Southern Party of Georgia systems, there was very little change in the rankings between August 6 and September, 8.

The LetUsVote, Republican Party and Political Vine sites continue to show improvement. Bill Shipp jumped three spots to return to 9th.

 

Notes on August 6 update:

There seems to be a trend of a drop in interest on three sites that have an associated theme, Bill Shipp, Democratic Party and Georgia Reporter. It will be interesting to see if this trend continues. But to us there is no surprise. All three support political correctness run amok in our State. People are getting fed up with the mentality that brings us searches of 80 year old grand mothers so that Moslem males are not offended. 

The launch of a totally new and redesigned web-site has shown some improvement in the Republican Party site traffic as has Political Vine, another Republican site.

But the message of the week is not one that the politically correct will like! As far as internet interest in Georgia, there is a clear message. The SP of Georgia continues to sweep these rankings and the Boycott Coke and Let Us Vote sites have advanced to 2nd and 3rd place. So when the PC types tell you that everybody has forgotten, just smile and let them  continue believing it. 

Still nothing in this update that the Politically Correct want to hear!
