MacWorld Expo Traffic Analysis

Posted by timothy on from the surface-level-only dept.

Bioanarchism writes "MacWorld Expo has been the receiving end of the brute force of the Internet surfers. Netcraft also reports on the Internet traffic that other Apple websites have gotten since Steve Jobs gave the opening keynote." The Windows Server 2003-based MacWorld Expo site folded under all those hits, while Apple's sites, running Mac OS X, were only knocked into sluggishness. (Server load is a complex thing, of course -- more complicated than what OS is on the servers.)

    Because that's what draws attention, and thus banner views/clicks.

    I'm sure the people at Slashdot could probably eliminate most of the trolling here entirely if they wished, but when they're getting extra page views and ad revenue, why bother? Added to that, half the stories now are product advertisments posted under the guise of being relevant or interesting.
