Modern Warfare Ranking Overloads My Site on Day of Release
Posted by David WhitehouseI wasn’t really ready for this, in fact I hadn’t really paid attention to my Modern Warfare Help site.
Today, in case you didn’t know, Modern Warfare 2 was released and it was:
- All over the news
- A hot trend on Google
- Trending on Twitter
Little did I know I was about experience my first visitor overload, which until now my cheap shared hosting account could cope with (largely due to the fact that I get very little visitors, except for SEO Specialist which does ok). So I was checking my email when I noticed around 5 people all subscribing to my Modern Warfare site within a few minutes, at which point I knew I must be getting some decent traffic. I checked analytics, the top term was “Modern Warfare 2 Tips“, so I happily went to Google and typed it in, to find that I was number 1! Nice surprise, huh? So I clicked the link and then saw my site die on its arse, along with all my other websites!!! Despite having the WP Super Cache plugin!
Anyways, I contacted support, and they said it was just the server, they did some adjustments and now all is tickity boo! Although perhaps I need some better hosting? Who knows…
