The build-up for the event brought impressive numbers to the official site of the 400th Anniversary of the Jamestown settlement, but the month of the actual events gave Jamestown2007.org a record amount of visitors. The month of May proved very successful Internet-wise for the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation, with the number of unique visitors to the website nearly triple the normal traffic in the months preceding the events.

To contrast from a year ago, May, 2006 statistics for Jamestown2007.org showed well over 75K visits to the site and nearly 25K unique visitors. As preparations for the 400th anniversary celebration progressed, and as the Jamestown 2007 Planning Commission provided more information about the celebration - which included a visit from Queen Elizabeth II - so traffic rose to reflect the growing interest in this historical event. By November, 2006, visits breached the 100K mark with over 128K overall visits, while the month of May, 2007 brought well over 430K visits.

Statistics for Jamestown2007.org report that during the month of the celebration over 123K recorded unique visitors came to the website for information and schedules, with the majority of users being first-time visitors to the site.

The fascination with the history of our nation's founding was not limited to the United States, either. While over one million visits to the site over the past year are attributed to Internet users in the US, Jamestown2007.org has proved to be a site of global interest, attracting curious history enthusiasts and novices from fifty countries - after the US, the United Kingdom, China, Canada, Germany and France provided the highest number of visitors.

Though the anniversary has past, Jamestown2007.org will remain online as an educational resource for those interested in researching our nation's pre-Colonial history. The Jamestown2007.org was designed and is maintained by CINIVA Systems of Virginia Beach, one of the top Web developers in the state, specializing in travel and tourism Web design and functionality.
