If Obama Were Google, Would Clinton Be Yahoo?
May 9, 2008
Dallas (WiredPRNews.com) –Recent news reports of Borack Obama’s delegate lead in the race for the 2008 Democratic nomination has sparked many to use notable sports analogies to illustrate who’s on top. SEO aficionados have gotten in on the debate, using their own comparisons in their own terms.
Obama is to Google, Like Hilary is to Yahoo?
With more of a general interest in this year’s race than in the past, even groups not typically believed to be as concerned with keeping up with the numbers in political campaigns are garnering attention for their newfound interests. Like sports fanatics who compare the two senators in terms of their “stats,” the world of search engine optimization is looking at the race from their perspective: in terms of rank.
As things currently are, the numbers are proving Obama to be the Google of the primaries and Hilary to be the Yahoo. Like the two candidates, many people strongly prefer one search engine over the other, and both are the most popular beating out other search engines and directories like MSN, Excite, Lycos, and Ask.com. But there seems to be steady debate as to whether it is Google or Yahoo that ranks # 1. Both get great reviews, both are praised for their user-friendly features, and both are user favorites. However, research continually shows Google to have a ranking as best overall, as showcased on sites like ConsumerSearch.com.
Obama’s projected victory, with reports of his being only 33 delegates shy of reaching the majority, is leading some to say that runner up Hilary Clinton’s run is coming to an end. However, some believe the senator still has a fighting chance to gain enough superdelegates to make a comeback. Time will tell who will beat out whom, with upcoming primaries in Oregon and Kentucky on May 20, 2008. The final primaries are to be held on June 3, 2008. May be McCain like MSN. Slow and steady may win the race.
