Re: [WikiEN-l] Internet traffic spikes due to Michael Jackson's death
Hmm ... Google Michael Jackson and Wikipedia. Top two hits are enWP pages - no surprise. The third hit is [[af:Michael Jackson]] - yes, the Afrikaans Wikipedia page. One sentence and more interwikis than you can shake a memory stick at. Google ... what were you thinking of?

Charles Matthews schreef: The third hit is [[af:Michael Jackson]] - yes, the Afrikaans Wikipedia page. Likely because Afrikaans is the first interwiki link on the English wikipedia (and other large WPs). Such a prominent link from the number 1 Google hit apparently gives it a large boost in the search results.
