It seems that fans for vampires are increasing. Spurred by the Twilight books/movies and the HBO series, True Blood, vampires are playing a pivotal role in drawing huge traffic to websites.
Here is the proof for the popularity of vampire related sites. In June 2009, the official Twilight movie site was the top online vampire-related destination, garnering 553,000 unique visitors. Vampire Wars on Facebook and Vampire Wars on Myspace.com ranked No. 2 and No. 3, with 386,000 and 272,000 unique visitors, respectively.
Vampirefreaks.com, The Twilight Saga, Twilight Guide, truebloodwiki.hbo.com, watchtrueblood.net, Twilighters.org and Vampfangs.com are some other sites which bank on vampires.
We can not say that this is a new phenomenon. Vampires have been a popular subject of fear and intrigue, from Bram Stokerâs Dracula, to Anne Riceâs Interview with a Vampire, to todayâs Edward Cullen of Twilight. This is just a revival of the old phenomenon.
