(CNSNews.com) The traffic at President Obama's official White House Web site--whitehouse.gov--has fallen from a post-Inauguration peak to nearly the same level it was during the waning days of the Bush administration.
The dramatic drop in traffic has happened despite the Obama Administration's complete redesign of the site.
According to the web-traffic tracking site Alexa.com, whitehouse.gov was almost the 500th most popular Web site in the world in February. Since then, it has fallen to the 3,732 ranked Web site in the world. Traffic to the site has fallen 51.6 percent in the last three months.
People are also spending less time on the site than they did before. Time spent on a Web site is often used as a barometer for how interested visitors are in a sites content. Time spent on whitehouse.gov declined 15 percent since May to an average of 2.6 minutes per visitor.
The decline in White Houses web traffic has coincided with a decline in the presidents approval ratings and the approval ratings for his policies.

LOL!
They have a web site? Who knew! Who Cares!
Wouldn’t want to get the cooties....er...cookies from THAT website....
White House vs Free Republic ranking.
We're ahead now.
Even when people go to the White House site, they don't stay long.
Doesn't take much time to type and send a message that the O has his face on tv lying to us again. I can do that in a matter of seconds.
Part of it could be all those ObamaBots visiting the WH website have since lost their jobs and can’t afford the Internet service anymore.
bump #5
Visiting this website would be like visiting the website of Baghdad Bob if he had one. WHy would anyone go there?
“Time spent on whitehouse.gov declined 15 percent since May to an average of 2.6 minutes per visitor.”
That long? I figure 52% of voters have an attention span no longer than a TV commercial.
Make me website Czar I’ll get the statistics up..first week post his long form BC
second week his kindergarden records
third week Punahou records
fourth week Occidential
fifth week Columbia

alternatively his pardon by Biden which would tear this country apart...(ala Nixon)
Something is wrong with your graph unless I am reading it wrong...I spend hours on this site....:O) not minutes..Have to go here 3 times a day or it would take longer to catch up than a couple of hours to get through everything..
OK, so that’s 3 hits times however many hours. Only 5000 hits a day? That seems low.
Damn, I better get a life........
The site was beautiful with what Lynn Cheney had done. It had kids stuff, history stuff, Barney taking you on a virtual tour.
I don’t even want to go there now.
Another thing — Do you suppose this had anything to do with the rumor that trips to whitehouse.gov would be tracked vy Obortion Obama’s gestapos???
LOL!
