Traffic to W-League Related Wikipedia Articles by Date

Posted by Laura on Friday, 2 July, 2010

Sometimes, I make charts and I think they are just that pretty that I want to share. (mmm. Tasty data!) This is one of those charts and it offers an interesting comparison between two clubs, the league they are in and the national team for that sport. The clubs are the Canberra United, the Melbourne Victory, the W-League and the Matildas. The team pages generally get 1/2 to 1/5 the traffic of the league page. The league and national team both got about the same traffic. Then the Australian women win the AFC and the traffic to their page shoots right up. After that, the traffic to the national team page was about double that of the league that a lot of those players are drawn from. Club pages and league didn’t necessarily see a bump as a result though.  The implications for this are fascinating.  It could suggest that national team interest and support does not translate down to the local level.   Soccer seems to have pushed this idea: National team success in the US should help foster interest in the MLS and WPS, and it doesn’t always seem to be the case.  (Yes, not the same country, the Women’s World Cup isn’t going on, etc.  Still, interesting…)

Socceroos: A creative research data dump (part 1)

Posted by Laura on Saturday, 12 June, 2010

I’ve been busy collecting all sorts of bits of random, creative data for the Socceroos in the lead up to the World Cup.  There is a whole lot more that I want to get but I’ve only so much time.  And time is what is holding up my ability to do an analysis prior to the World Cup regarding what some of this data could mean.  I figured I would share it so that others like you might use it to do your own analysis.  Just a word of caution: Random data is random.

43 Things
This data was checked again on June 12, 2010. These are all the questions where people mentioned Socceroos. They were found by searching 43 Things for Socceroos.

I’ve been getting data for other sport teams since early May. It took me a long time to consider adding this one…

I wanted an idea as to the demographic make up of fans. Bebo data is often the easiest to get. (And it didn’t close down like it was rumored to have on June 1 if AOL didn’t find a buyer. Yay!) The other benchmark is for the change in total people listing them as an interest or related keyword.

The social media usage policy for members of the Socceroos

Posted by Laura on Wednesday, 9 June, 2010

After reading World Cup 2010: England players banned from Twitter , I was curious as the social media usage policy for the Socceroos.  When I met with Canberra United, I asked about their own social media policy for players and the W-League.  I also asked if they knew about the social media usage policy for the Socceroos.  They weren’t sure at the time but they followed up with the FFA and gave me an answer.  (I love the people at Canberra United.  When the season starts, I’ll definitely be seeing a few games. ) What I was told was that members of the Socceroos are not allowed to use social media while they are in training camp.  What this means is that you’re not going to see them on Twitter or Facebook.   Members of the Socceroos are also subject to Hyundai A-League and FFA code of conduct, which can limit some of their activities.  There are good arguments to allow players and ban players from using social media.  I’m happy to know what’s official going on as it can put other metrics into context.

Most popular official team pages on Facebook

Posted by Laura on Sunday, 30 May, 2010

I’ve been data collecting again. In this case, I was updating my Facebook group and fan pages member totals. Eventually, this will all be written up and include an analysis of some patterns that exist. In the meantime, I feel the need to share of this data as the results… surprised me.  I was curious as to which Australian team had the most popular official Facebook page.  Bearing in mind that outside the AFL and NRL, my inclusion list is limited and that not every team has an official page… This list should not be considered all comprehensive.  Still, it gives a fairly good idea of what may be going on Facebook:

What is more popular: Socceroos or the Super 14?

Posted by Laura on Saturday, 15 May, 2010

One  of my favorite blogs does a lot of analysis based on Google  search results for a location.  I’m not equipped to do their level of analysis but I figured I could do something smaller to see if I could find any interesting patterns about sports in Australia.  What I did was develop a list of the major metro areas in Australia based on a list on Wikipedia.  I then searched for each city plus the term “Super 14″ or Socceroos.  An example search: “Super 14″ Canberra.  Next, I recorded the number of search results for each search.  Having done that, I got the following results:

Socceroos more popular:

  • Albury, New South Wales
  • Ballarat, Victoria
  • Bathurst, New South Wales
  • Bendigo, Victoria
  • Bunbury, Western Australia
  • Bundaberg, Queensland
  • Burnie, Tasmania
  • Cairns, Queensland
  • Canberra, Australian Capital Territory
  • Coffs Harbour, New South Wales
  • Devonport, Tasmania
  • Dubbo, New South Wales
  • Geelong, Victoria
  • Geraldton, Western Australia
  • Gladstone, Queensland
  • Hervey Bay , Queensland
  • Hobart, Tasmania
  • Kalgoorlie, Western Australia
  • La Trobe Valley, Victoria
  • Launceston, Tasmania
  • Lismore, New South Wales
  • Mackay, Queensland
  • Mandurah, Queensland
  • Mildura, Victoria
  • Nowra, New South Wales
  • Orange, New South Wales
  • Queanbeyan, New South Wales
  • Rockhampton, Queensland
  • Shepparton, Victoria
  • Toowoomba, Queensland
  • Townsville, Queensland
  • Tweed, New South Wales
  • Wagga Wagga, New South Wales
  • Warrnambool, Victoria
  • Wodonga, Victoria
  • Wollongong, New South Wales

Super 14 more popular:

  • Adelaide, South Australia
  • Bomaderry, New South Wales
  • Brisbane, Queensland
  • Darwin, Northern Territory
  • Gold Coast, Queensland
  • Melbourne, Victoria
  • Newcastle, New South Wales
  • Perth, Western Australia
  • Port Macquarie, New South Wales
  • Sunshine, Queensland
  • Sydney, New South Wales
  • Tamworth, New South Wales

Socceroos and Super 14 equally popular:

  • Boulder, Western Australia

It looks like  regional patterns of liking rugby in Queensland and New South Wales hold up.  Adelaide, Melbourne and Perth can probably be explained as being larger media markets where they have a number of newspapers covering national leagues and a large number of book makers in the area who promote their Super 14 related betting.  Melbourne and Perth can probably also be explained as they both have teams.  The absence of the Super 14 possessing team Canberra is likely a result of the Socceroos playing a number of games in Canberra, and the commitment of the government to supporting its national sides.

Boulder is something of an enigma.  I cannot explain it.  I searched for both later in the day and there was a 30 results difference that favored the Socceroos by 30 results.

I’m not sure what this means in terms of any larger patterns that could be discussed.  It would need a larger sample of search terms to have real meaning about the comparative interest in soccer versus rugby.  It is something I may consider doing in the future.

Australian netball on Facebook and Twitter

Posted by Laura on Tuesday, 12 January, 2010

When I was compiling the list of Twitter accounts for the ANZ Championship, I found several Australian netball team Twitter related accounts, including ones for Australian Diamonds, Petersham RUFC Netball Club, ACE Netball Club, Orcas Netball.  I got details regarding the total number of followers, checked totals on Facebook and compared these to the ANZ teams.  The following table was generated:

Australian Netball on Facebook and Twitter

State League Team Total Facebook Twitter
Victoria ANZ Championship Melbourne Vixens 1,764 860 904
Australia Netball Australia Australian Diamonds (national team) 1,651 1,580 71
Queensland ANZ Championship Queensland Firebirds 213 0 213
New South Wales ANZ Championship New South Wales Swifts 90 0 90
Western Australia ANZ Championship West Coast Fever 66 0 66
South Australia ANZ Championship Adelaide Thunderbirds 62 0 62
New South Wales Netball New South Wales Petersham RUFC Netball Club 22 0 22
Queensland Brisbane Netball Association ACE Netball Club 21 0 21
Victoria Plenty Valley Netball Association Orcas Netball 20 0 20
New Zealand ANZ Championship Canterbury Tactix 0 0 0
New Zealand ANZ Championship Central Pulse 0 0 0
New Zealand ANZ Championship Northern Mystics 0 0 0
New Zealand ANZ Championship Southern Steel 0 0 0
New Zealand ANZ Championship Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic 0 0 0

For the smaller club teams that are more about participation, there just is not a Facebook interest in them.  This is not surprising as listing a team you participate in recreationally might seem odd; you’re not a fan but a player and the team isn’t professional or top level so it is unlikely others will want to find you as a result of your participation.  At least two of those teams have a Facebook presence to share news but this is not enough to get people to list these teams as an interest.

Beyond the clubs listed, there are some regional accounts for those interested in Australian netball.  They include @NetballAust – Netball Australia (72 followers), @Sydney_Netball – Sydney and New South Wales netball news from a newspaper (31 followers), and @netballvic – Netball Victoria (20 followers).

Commonwealth Bank Trophy teams on Facebook

Posted by Laura on Sunday, 10 January, 2010

The Commonwealth Bank Trophy is the premiere competition in Australia for women’s netball.  The competition has ten teams.  They are:

  • Adelaide Thunderbirds
  • AIS Canberra Darters
  • Hunter Jaegers
  • Melbourne Kestrels
  • Melbourne Phoenix
  • Perth Orioles
  • Queensland Firebirds
  • Sydney Swifts

Given the popularity netball for women in Australia, with 389,400 women having participated in 2002, I would have suspected some interest in the premiere competition on Facebook.  Yet according to Facebook’s Advertising targeting, no one is interested in any of those teams.  This with 60,200 people interested in netball by Australians on Facebook.   Most of the fans are female: 53,920 or 89.5%.  Interest in Australia’s national netball team is at 1,580 with 1,360 being female.  This interest in the sport and in the national team just is not translating into interest in teams in the major competition.

Edited to add: My bad.  This competition came to an end in 2007.  While Facebook has some fans in defunct teams, two years later it isn’t that surprising that there are not people interested in these teams as Facebook penetration is Australia is slower than it was in the United States, where people may have listed interests years ago and never got around to updating them.
