CMS Commercial Intention

Today I was playing around with the Online Commercial Intention tool on Microsoft’s adCenter Labs. Just for fun I typed in a couple PHP content management systems I’ve used to see how they rank and came across some interesting results. If you haven’t used the OCI tool before, it gives you a ranking for how likely someone searching for that term is looking or willing to buy something. You get a number between 0 and 1 describing the probability. Here are the results…

CMS Commercial Intent
Drupal 71%
Expression Engine 38%
Joomla 34%
Mambo 23%
WordPress 21%

As you can see Drupal blows them all out of the water with the only ranking greater then 50%. Number two on the list Expression Engine is the only commercial CMS I have listed.

Why do you think Drupal has such a high commercial intent?

  • Hey, looks like we chose a good platform to work with. :D
  • I should do some more testing to see what specifically about Drupal has a high OCI.
