We’ve just developed a new monitoring tool for all you politicos out there. Political Monitor is a tool especially designed to monitor the email campaigns of the leading political parties and those running for office. Political Monitor is currently monitoring not only all the Presidential candidates and potential political candidates (like Al Gore), but will be monitoring all those running for Congress as well.
With political monitor you can keep tabs on both the internal mailings of the various candidates, but any 3rd party link, ad, or newsletter that is driving traffic to their Web sites. For instance, did you know that there is a link on an email newsletter called “The Freebie Swamp” that drives traffic to John Edwards web site. The link doesn’t mention John Edwards but says: “*Free* ‘End The War’ Bumper Sticker”.
With Political Monitor you can directly compare the web site traffic of one candidate to another, see how often they are deploying their email campaigns and what those campaigns look like, and how effective they may have been in driving traffic to the site.
We are making Political Monitor available to legitimate news outlets for free to use through the 2008 election season. If you are a reporter working for the a newspaper, television or radio outlet, or select web sites and wish to learn more, drop me a line at [email protected] and we can get you started.
