Al Jazeera links to WorldHistory.com
A very interesting thing happened yesterday (June 8, 2006) on WorldHistory.com. This was the day that the international news story broke about bombing and killing of Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi in Iraq.
Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi in the leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq. He is second only to Osama bin Laden in being wanted by Allied forces. Both of them have a $25 million bounty on their heads. Al-Zarqawi was the day to day operations manager for Al Qaeda and fighting on the front lines of the insurgency in Iraq, while Osama is the world-wide, philosophical leader who hides out in caves along the Afghanistan and Pakistan border.
A U.S. F-16 dropped 2 five hundred pound bombs on the house that Al-Zarqawi was in. This action launched news headlines around the world. Al Jazeera (www.aljazeera.net or english.aljazeera.net), an Arabic equivalent of CNN, posted several links on their web site to relevant articles on WorldHistory.com. Al Jazeera regularly links to WorldHistory.com for background information on news stories. WorldHistory.com has in-depth articles on Osama bin laden (www.worldhistory.com/article.php?q=22468), Iraq (media.worldhistory.com/ciawfb/file/iz.htm), Afghanistan (media.worldhistory.com/ciawfb/file/af.htm), and even Zarqa, Jordan--the city where Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi is from (www.worldhistory.com/article.php?q=1175187).
Yesterday, WorldHistory.com experienced a 622% spike in page views. Links from the Al-Jazeera web site accounted for 80% of the page views for the day! The Google Ad Sense revenue for WorldHistory.com increased over 10 fold from the previous day!
