  4. What to do? on MacWorld Expo Traffic Analysis · · Score: 3, Interesting

    What should sites like this do?

    Do they need to spend to cope with once yearly spikes in traffic or just let the sites fall over - which in itself creates a 'story' and free advertising.

    It seems with most 'big' news online there is always a secondary story regarding the number of visits to the website, and usually the event is seen as bigger if the webservers crash and burn under the load...
