Record number of visitors at sites-of-memory.de
Until yesterday, the previous record for the number of hits at sites-of-memory.de was 675 and the record number of unique visitors was under 200. A typical day has been 50 to 80 unique visitors with something over 100 total hits. Well, yesterday, the site got 988 visitors and 1,195 hits. The statistics only log the details of the last 100 hits, so I am not sure what happened.
The memorial to Hessian cavalry in Darmstadt got 48 of the last 100 hits, so perhaps there is a link to that from some popular site. However, the "came from" statistics show only low-volume links and search engine results.
Update:
This morning I discovered a lot of traffic from stumbleupon.com where someone who goes by the name tpq62 has posted a link to sites-of-memory.de and a quote from the sites-of-memory.de introduction. His blog has some interesting links to resources on progressive history including a site on Helen Keller. Her life would make a fantastic study in collective amnesia.
