I have readers in Austria and India

Recently I found a counter in somebody's blog that read Sitemeter.  So I clicked on the counter and read about it.  It sounded interesting, so I put the Sitemeter counter in my sidebar also.
 
The neat thing about Sitemeter is that it's not just a counter.  It does more than show you how many visitors have come to your blog.  It shows you all kinds of things about what is going on at your blog.  All you need to do is press on your Sitemeter counter, and enter your password, and Sitemeter will take you to a site that tells you a lot about your own blog.   
 
So on Tuesday night I began to play around with the site, just familiarizing myself with it.  
 
I clicked on the link "Location".  There listed were the last 100 people who had visited my blog.  Not the names of the people of course.  Of course it wouldn't give out such information.  But the countries the readers were in.  There was also a pie map detailing my readership by percentages.  
 
Suddenly I was stunned at what I saw!
 
My readership was 85% in America and 15% out of the country!
 
The largest out of the country traffic comes from Vienna, Austria!  That's 5%.  I have a very faithful reader in Vienna, Wien, Austria.  To you I want to say a big hello!  :)  I hope you will be able to comment some day, and we can all get to know you better!
 
My next largest out of the country readership of course comes from the UK.
 
So I thought I would list where the out of the country readership was from on Tuesday's report:
 
Austria, Australia, Spain, Switzerland, Russian Federation (Moscow City, Moscow), and Singapore
 
Today I got back on and checked again, because there was an update in my emailbox. Add to that list Bombay, India.
 
Pretty cool, huh?
 
Oh, you can check out Sitemeter for yourself.  But don't forget to leave me a comment first, LOL.

    I downloaded the sitemeter a few weeks ago but haven't gotten it into the journal. I know I am doing something wrong, lol, or missing a step.....

  4. Hi Linda (fasttrack58).  After you get your HTML code from Sitemeter to put in your blog, copy it.  You could even copy and paste it into an email so you don't lose it, and email it to yourself.  Then open up your journal/blog.  Switch from text to html.  Put the cursor where you want the code to start in your sidebar.  Pick up the copy from the Sitemeter page or from the email, and paste it into place.  Then switch back over to Text.  The sitemeter tracker should be there.  Let me know if that works.  Krissy :)

  29. Wow that is interesting news.  How neat to know your journal is read around the world.  I'm glad you got back on line and all is well.  Lately I've had my entires eaten a more than a few times and had to start over.  After adding pictures and all it does make you just a little disturbed for sure.  'On Ya' - ma

  30. Hi Krissy! I've had Sitemeter for a while now, and it really IS cool to see where some visitors come from. I had Moscow today, too! I've also had Cote d'Ivoire, Togo, Nigeria, Iran...it makes me wonder who is reading and how did they find my blog? Fun to think about!
