I am impressed with the level of international detail that you get through Google Analytics. I took a look at my Google Analytics account and found that visits came to this blog from 158 countries since February. I did realize there were that many countries. Looking at the map I have not been visited by Greenland, one country in the Americas – Paraguay, several in Africa, and a few in Asia. But there were visits from Afghanistan, Viet Nam (mostly Hanoi), and every European country. In France, most visits were from Paris but someone came from Saint-Mande and looked at 9 page views and spent over 10 minutes on the site. Good for them. In the US, most visits were from Massachusetts and California to no surprise. In Massachusetts there were visits from 101 cities. Arlington ranked second to Boston but the Arlington visitors spent much more time on site. Cambridge was third.
All of this is a great geography lesson. My wife is going to China in a few weeks. I had five visits from Shanghai, her destination. They all came in September. There was one from Chenghu, near Tibet where my daughter was asked to leave a few years ago. There were visits from 81 cities in the UK, including 173 from London were I lived in 95. There was also a visit from Dundee where I did work from NCR in the late 80s. I could go on. Half the UK cities I have not heard of and I have traveled all around the country. If you have not signed up for Google Analytics for your blog, you need to give it a try.
NICE BLOG
