Look,as a long-time,DIE HARD,and for the most part suffering red sox fan,RED SOX NATION
has always been around.This whole yankee(mostly bandwagon)universe crap is really,really
PATHETIC and their fans ‘PURSAY’ don’t know what suffering is.They don’t know what it’s
like to constantly be reminded of the last time their team won a championship or what it’s
like to cringe when you have to constantly hear about Billy Buckner,how devastating it is
to (once again) have all your hopes up,just to have them CRUSHED by an at the time non-existing Aaron Boone,what it’s like to cry at the age of 20 over something you have NO control over.What it’s like to be down 3-0 to the HATED yankees!!!,and hope to at least
win a game.Bottomline TRUE RED SOX FANS are the best fans in the world and we LOVE
our team,THE TRUE fan,will always be a fan no matter what,and yes it’s not easy being a
RED SOX FAN,and yes they don’t make it easy but they belong to us(RED SOX FAITHFUL!!!),
and we will DIE with this team.
GO SAWX-ALWAYS & FOREVER,WE LOVE YOU!!!!

Yankees are in a bigger metro area. They also get a large out-of-town following. Sort of like the Dallas Cowboys

Nice article, I dont think it really shows which nation is bigger seeing as I myself am a die hard Red Sox fan and have been all my life and I hardly ever go to the Red Sox official site. Not a lot of usefull info on that site, most of the material is outdated and I would rather go to sons of sam horn or ESPN or something. Also if you want to see a cool breakdown on who has the better 2009 team the Yanks or the Sox go to root zoo and just type in, “who has the better team, the Yankees or the Red Sox” every detail is broken down with stats to back it up.

Not sure you answered the question. Wikipedia defines a nation as: “a cultural and social community. Inasmuch as most members never meet each other, yet feel a common bond, it may be considered an imagined community”; and I would add, per the context of the argument, over a large area (national/global level).

Because of this, you can’t just look at overall numbers. You need to look at the location of the traffic. My guess would be that the majority of the traffic is from the New England area and the tri-state area(s). But what about the rest? Who has more traffic spread over the US/World?
Hank spoke about one’s ability to observe “Red Sox” nation throughout the entire country “Go anywhere in America and you won’t see Red Sox hats and jackets, you’ll see Yankees hats and jackets. This is a Yankee country”.

Looking at the traffic across a country/global level is the only true way to answer the question of who has a broader, or nation like presence/appeal.

Interesting review, but I wanted to 2nd the comments by Ryan above.

As a Sox fan (and search/data junkie), sure it’s interesting to compare info about one ‘official site’ vs. another, but we know that Boston.com probably garners more loyalty amongst true fans due to its constantly updated news and rumors. There are countless forums and blogs and other news sites as well.

It’d be interesting to do a review of how many search queries each team gets, though I understand that’d be harder to do since you’d probably also want to consider player names like A-Rod vs. Ortiz and name variations etc. As we say in New England, or as we did say… “Maybe next year” (for that review)?

Keep up the great work. Love this blog.

Looking at the logic in his post, it’s obvious why Ryan from Whole Studios doesn’t have a job.

Amen to this! What a great analysis!! We here at Brick Marketing are die hard Red Sox fans so yes, we may be a bit biased but thanks for sharing Steinbrunner’s words… makes him look even worse. This is by far the best Compete analysis we’ve seen in a while ;)

Funny, I read this a bit differently. To me it looks like the know-nothing spend their time at the borderline useless official mlb.com site, while the more intelligent red sox nation spends their time at SOSH, Dirt Dogs, etc.
