David Beckham sends mass amounts of traffic to major league soccer website
David Beckham may be pissing off fans and players alike thanks to his benchwarming this season, but he’s good for the search engines. As a matter of fact, misnet.com, the official website of the leading U.S, soccer team is reporting a huge traffic growth thanks to fans searching for David Beckham.
By the end of 2006, traffic to mlsnet.com had slumped to 230,000 unique visitors, down from 478,000 in July. However when LA Galaxy announced the signing of David Beckham in January, traffic immediately jumped to 808,000 unique visitors– a 252 percent month-on-month increase.
With the unveiling of Beckham as a Galaxy player at the club’s ground on July 13th, and his subsequent playing debut in a friendly match against Chelsea on July 21st, worldwide traffic to the site rocketed to over one million unique visitors.
