Apple-Group.org

Although the Apple-Group.com blog (apple-group.org) has seen better days… Apple-Group.com has seen worse days, but hasn’t exactly seen better days in awhile. This is because Apple-Group has been fluctuating within + or – 100,000 web rankings (of 200,000). Comparatively other websites have come, surpassed Apple-Group, then crashed well below Apple-Group.

I am sure it is great sadness to many to hear that Apple-Group.com has not felt the effects of the economic downturn. In fact, Apple-Group.com has seen an upturn in activity! However… mostly from ash-encrusted spammers (its ashy in hell)… the way AGc and AGo look at it is, they wouldn’t bother spamming if they didn’t think people were looking. Heck! Why spam on some unknown webpage when you can spam on a mediocre webpage that a couple hundred people a day will see.

To the Spammers dismay… AGinfo (the apple-group bot) keeps a close eye on the forums along with the entire Apple-Group moderation team… so most spam sticks around for a few hours tops.

The moral of this story is to not give up when your chips are down,… and visit Apple-Group.com!

PS>> The AGDT (apple-group development team) is working on a new webpage, hopefully one to compete in the top 1,000s. We will keep you updated here, the unveiling will be done on Apple-Group.com and Apple-Group.org first as a kind of beta preview.

This Wolling Update is brought to you by Apple-Group Forum

According to Alexa, JohnMcCain.com has taken a sharp turn up. Leaping up in ranks by 1279 World Wide. This puts JohnMcCain.com at a world rank of #7,477 and a US rank of #1,832 (US increase of 121 ranks). When a website in the top 100,000 increases by any amount it is impressive, johnmccain.com has successfully proven that it is not out of the website ranking race yet!

Image below shows JohnMcCain.com’s Website Graphically.

Meanwhile, BarackObama.com has also taken a turn north. However Barack’s Website only increased by 24 World Wide Ranks. Leaving BarackObama.com at a world rank of #1,473 and a US rank of 461 (US increase of 61 ranks).

Image below shows BarackObama.com’s Website Graphically.

Compared against each other Barack Obama’s Wolling Rank is still 6004 (~80% higher) global ranks ahead of JohnMcCain.com but only 1371 (~74% higher) ranks higher in the US. Below is a graph of what the last week looks like in terms of Wolling Ranks.

As these Wolling Ranks change we will continue to provide and update and hopefully more meaningful analysis. Along with correlational data.

These numbers have not been compared against any national polling service, though they are curious enough to be considered a ‘predictor’ of the presidential election 2008. It is still a few months away and a lot can change. This has not been authorized by either John McCain nor Barack Obama, though I think we can speculate neither would oppose it.

TROPICAL ISLAND — 08/16/08 — A few weeks ago, our very own W9cae passed out some business cards to people at an Apple event in Australia!

It took until now before the statistics caught up and revealed what W9cae’s efforts to promote AGc in Australia actually did. Lets start by saying before his efforts Australia was #4 on the list of countries loving AGc. Right now Australia is #2 on the list and inching closer and closer to the United States of America.

#1 AGc City: Melbourne, Australia.
#2 AGc City: Sydney, Australia.
#3 AGc City: London, England.
#4 AGc City: New York, USA.
#5 AGc City: New Jersey, USA.
Australia would be #1 if it had the resources the US has to access Apple products and AGc.

So great work W9cae! Thanks for helping us get to where we are in the Aussie heart! (slightly noticed, which is better than in America where we are barely noticed)

Tropical Island — APPLE GROUP – It should be no surprise that Apple-Group.com is visited by all 50 states in the union. It should also not shock many people that nearly every country in the world has had atleast one visitor stumble across an Apple-Group Network website. However, a recent demographic analysis of visitors to  Apple-Group.com revealed that there are many cities which have more visits than several states. Further more many of those states are viewed LESS than many countries.

The following states represent Apple-Group dramatically less than ANY other state, which sucked in no more than 10 unique visitors a week. (I should note at this time, we are an Macintosh/Apple user website and many of our users use Safari and many of those users reject any cookie from a website they did not visit directly, so that people with cookies rejecting 3rd party cookies do not register to certain places.)
The Top 9 Least Apple-Group aware states. (from most aware to least)
42. North Dakota
43: Kansas
44: Idaho
45: Hawaii
46: Arkansas
47: Wyoming
48: South Dakota
49: Mississippi
50: Kentucky
Not really a surprise for any of these states considering there are not any Apple Retail Stores with-in them. Except Kentucky and Hawaii – Both of which are a bit of a shock. There are about 37 States with Apple Retail Stores in them, at minimum they should be between 38 and 40. Hawaii is more of a surprise than Kentucky, since Kentucky has one small store and Hawaii has two! Sure there are population differences, but it should be neglected when an Apple Store is placed.

I suppose all I can say to those bottom 9, you could look more healthy if they were at least ahead of some cities in non-USA countries!

Top 7 Non American Cities:
3. London, Great Britain
6. Toronto, Canada
8. Sydney, Australia
15. Montreal, Canada
17. Munich, Germany
19. Glen Waverley, Australia
20. Vermont, Australia

Apple-Group.com still receives more traffic from the bottom two cities than the entire state of North Dakota (top of the 9 bottom states)!
