I thought everyone already knew Alexa scores mean absolutely nothing. They can be gamed just like the Ron Paul'ers are doing with digg.com by floating their stories to the top by having an organized crowd.

Except webmasters, who actually has the alexa toolbar installed?

But seriously, he's nowhere near Barack Obama in any REAL numbers.

Alabama for Barack Obama

These numbers are important, because they are unsolicited grass roots support, and they are actual people who are out supporting the candidate of their choice.

Fred Flintstone's Amazing Technological Breakthrough... NOT!

The recent statistics for Fred's website reflect the fact that his announcement was widely publicized. They do not reflect anything about his ability to harness technology. Now that the hoopla is over, let's see how his long term stats compare to those of longstanding internet campaign extraordinaire, Dr. Ron Paul. My prediction: Fred is a flash in the proverbial pan.

Big Whoop - Ron Paul still has more traffic

Alexa is a flawed measuring tool?

Steve, Patrick knows better than to compare Fred with Ron Paul. Here's a direct quote:

"Alexa is a flawed measuring tool because it’s self-selected. According to Alexa, Ron Paul is even bigger than Barack Obama online."

Fred's traffic falls below Ron Paul's

Steve Dasbach — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 13:19:47 -0400

As of September 7 (the day after the chart above) Alexa shows that traffic to fred08.com had already dropped below ronpaul2008.com (rising after the September 5th debate).

It Worked.

Maybe Republicans aren't allergic to the Interwebs after all. If you give them a reason to go online, to signup and donate, in the form of a big event -- they will. What you see above is the surge of traffic to Fred08.com the day of his online-exclusive announcement.
