Web Page Vistors
When I first decided to build a website to showcase my photography I was, of course, interested to see who (if anyone) might visit. Consequently I looked around for a suitable statistics gathering package and eventually chose Site Meter which is quick and easy to code and gives an excellent analysis of all sorts of information.
One of the statistics I found pretty amazing straight away was that I could see which country each visitor was from and I quickly started "collecting" countries as new visitors were tracked. This isn't an exact science as a small proportion of visitors (presumably due to limitations in the data available) are recorded as unknown but at this point I have had definite visits from 118 countries that I know about. I have also been visited by people from every state in the US, the last one being South Dakota a couple of years ago. Some people may think that my interest in this is a bit sad, but one thing is certain, it can sure help you with quiz questions on geography!
Listed below are the 118 countries from which people have visited my website - if you happen to be reading this and your country isn't on the list - then please drop me an email - as your country may be one of the "unknowns" to my webstats.
Where ever you pose the question as to how many countries there are in the world you will get a different answer. A quick search on the web suggests somewhere between 193 and 257 - so I guess I'm almost half way......
