The effective use of the Internet extends the reach of
traditional politics, enabling a campaign to spread
resources more broadly and effectively than ever before.
Many candidates build a website
because they think they have to, without a strategy for how to
use that investment. What good is a website without
traffic? What good is traffic if you don't use it to your
advantage?
More than 60% of American
voters use the Internet to find political news and information. More importantly, the
fastest-growing group of Internet users are older
Americans, the group that has the highest average voter turnout
(See details in report from the Pew Center to the right).
Needless to say, candidates who understand how to reach these
millions of voters will benefit.
