Google Analytics
March 10th 2007 05:39
I’ve just been checking out the Google Analytics in regard to my other website, and only just realised I could actually pin-point the city or town where the most recent hits came from. This is possibly a totally useless piece of information – unless, of course, I was to start using the names of these towns in my blog – but it’s interesting to see how spread they are across the English-speaking world. There are also three in the non-English-speaking world, I’ve just noticed: Hyderabad, Petaling Jaya and something called Central Districts – it looks like it’s in China, but it’s a very small map.
There are some in New Zealand: Titirangi, (which may be a cousin of mine checking me out), Wellington (another cousin?) and two places I’m not familiar with (both in the North Island): Weymouth and Homai.
In Australia we have: Moorabbin and Long Point. (No family members there.)
In the UK we have London, Lincoln and the interestingly-named, Fonthill Bishop.
In the States there are five: Kalamazoo (which always reminds me of a certain kind of accounting stationery I used to use in one of my jobs); Longwood, Plainview, Jamestown, and Littleton.
All these places show up as tiny dots on a world map (it’s almost impossible to separate some of them), and running the mouse over them produces the name.
You could spend hours playing with the Google Analytics, which offers piles of information (for those who have accumulated it), and offers it in dozens of different ways. Very useful for the Marketing Manager of a large firm; maybe not quite so useful for me.
