pirate bay block = 12 million more people go to the pirate bay

Quote:

On hearing the news a Pirate Bay insider told TorrentFreak that the measure will do very little to stop people accessing the site and predicted that ?the free advertising? would only increase traffic levels.

It?s not possible to buy advertising ?articles? from leading UK publications such as the BBC, Guardian and Telegraph, but yesterday The Pirate Bay news was spread across all of them and dozens beside, for free. The news was repeated around the UK, across Europe and around the world reaching millions of people. The results for the site were dramatic.

?Thanks to the High Court and the fact that the news was on the BBC, we had 12 MILLION more visitors yesterday than we had ever had before,? a Pirate Bay insider informed TorrentFreak today.

There's probably some truth to that but 12 million seems pretty high. The source seems to be what PB says.

Likely a lie and PR by PB. It's not like it's the first time it's ever been mentioned by huge media outlets.

they went from .06% of the worlds traffic to .1% of the worlds traffic.

you have to remember every other time they were mentioned in the news the traffic spiked too.
