GWS Giants web traffic performance

Posted by Laura on Saturday, 4 December, 2010

Eventually, I’m going to do a paper looking at the development of the fandom for the GWS Giants online.  In the mean time, I’ll probably just dribble out some data context and analysis free.  The table below includes Alexa Rankings for GWS Giants related sites and for the Gold Coast Suns.  The Suns are offered as a counterpoint to see how another new club is doing.  Australian Alexa Rankings only appear if the site appears as a top 100,000 site in the country.

For a period of a few months, the Giant’s Australian rankings just disappeared.  Relaunching with a new domain meant that it took a couple of days before the site appeared again.  The domain switch probably contributes to the disappearance of their old site.  The lack of ranking probably hints a bit that the club neglected to promote (or successfully) promote their website in the lead up to the announcement and with their GWS for ACT campaign.

Most popular sport league/team websites in Australia

Posted by Laura on Saturday, 4 December, 2010

I’ve finally got a bot to get my Alexa data every day if I want it.  This should be helpful for any future controversies to better measure how this impacts web traffic based on publicly available data.  It makes me extremely happy.  (Now, if I could get Alexa data combined with Facebook data and Twitter data [and other data] to have a daily matrix of how much a team’s visibility has increased or decreased, that would be awesome.  In the end, that might be something worth shooting for but as that would likely require 24 different scripts…)

Anyway, this list is sorted by rank for most popular in Australia.  If a team or club or confederation or athlete website is missing, leave a comment and I’ll add it to my list for the next time I decide to run it/post it.
