According to day-by-day traffic numbers being circulated by Hitwise, Yahoo News is the #1 source for news these days, especially in the days leading up to, and during, the election. In fact, Yahoo News's market share for news visits is triple Google News', the #4 player in a near dead heat with Fox News at #5. MSNBC is #3; CNN.com is #2.
The Drudge Report, ABC News, NYTimes.com, USA Today, The Huffington Post, AOL News, The Washington Post, and Real Clear Politics are among the other leaders this past week.
The picture is a little more embarrassing for Google News than the Hitwise figures seem to suggest, because they have FOXNews.com Elections in 8th place. Combined, the FOX properties as a whole vault into 4th place, pushing Google News down to #5.
Of course these are estimates based on Hitwise's proprietary sampling methods. But Yahoo News has a solid lead, it appears.Labels: google news, yahoo news
