Swine Flu fears driving web traffic

April 30, 2009

Following the breaking news around swine flu earlier this week, UK Internet traffic to the World Health Organization and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention increased more than 200% each in just 4 days. For the week ending 25/04/09, 'swine flu' was already the number one search term driving traffic to cdc.gov, showing the urgency of the public to find out more about the disease.
