Top content in 2010

[William Douglas]

Internet visitors to the Douglas Archives continue to grow. Over 50 thousand people visited the site during the year, reading almost 33 thousand pages.  They come from 165 different countries.  The top 5 are:

 

1. United Kingdom  
2. United States 
3. Australia  
4. Canada  
5. Germany 

The Hungarians spent more time on the site than any other nationality. Most visited pages were the general information pages, eg lists of battles.

Lady Alice Douglas continues to lead the list of individuals whose biographies have been read. In 2010, there was particular interest in the late Duke of Hamilton, and his son, the 16th Duke, who take 2nd and 3rd places.  Australian model, Kaera Douglas re-entered the news last year. She was the unfortunate victim of a shooting a couple of years ago. Once again, Dudu and Saba Douglas-Hamilton make the top ten.  Amongst the historical biographies, Governor James Douglas and Archibald, 3rd Earl of Douglas, proved popular.

Several of our pages of 'Lists' also proved popular, particularly Clock and Watch Makers, and Poorhouse Residents. The list of Australian Arrivals was more widely read than the list of West Indian Connections, which was just ahead of American settlers.

2011 is already proving to be busy on the site, with new members joining daily.  I look forward to hearing from you.
