Where in the World are our Hits?

You might notice that we have a map at the bottom of our blog. The map records the time and location of all of our visitors. So after seeing some fairly random places listed we (or maybe it was just me) decided to see who it was that was visiting our blog.

Over the month of July we made a record of all the hits to see what we could find out about our friends, old and new. We recorded about 300 hits. Tuesdays and Wednesdays seem to be the most popular days to visit.

Top ten locations
1 Irvine, CA, United States
2 Las Vegas, NV, United States
3 , , United States
4 Provo, UT, United States
5 American Fork, UT, United States
6 Dallas, TX, United States
6 Denver, CO, United States
6 Williamsburg, VA, United States
9 Los Angeles, CA, United States
9 Mesa, AZ, United States
9 Newport Coast, CA, United States
9 Placitas, NM, United States
9 Roseville, CA, United States
9 West Jordan, UT, United States

Top States with number of hits
1 CA 103
2 NV 40
3 UT 37
4 VA 17
5 AZ 10
6 ID 8
6 CO 8
6 NM 8
9 TX 7
10 OR 5

This list is not that surprising as some of the top locales are where we live (Irvine) and have lived (Provo, Williamsburg, Roseville). Most of the other top places are either close to those places (American Fork) or places where we know many of our friends have moved (Las Vegas).

Of course we really do not know who everyone is that is visiting our blog but we do have some guesses. For example, we can only assume that Kobe Bryant must be checking us out from his place in Newport Coast. Also, “, , United States” must be our friends in the CIA (from Williamsburg) who are able to search the web while hiding almost all of their information (don’t be surprised if this sentence is mysteriously erased at some point in the future).

Top Countries besides the U.S.
1 Switzerland
2 Australia
3 United Kingdom
4 Canada
4 Taiwan
4 France

People that I would like to know who you are, the repeat visitors from:

Top 10 one-time visitors in no apparent order (i.e. coolest, most random places)
Saskatoon, SK, Canada

Honolulu, HI, United States
Laramie, WY, United States
Omaha, NE, United States

Ok so that was more than ten.

I enjoyed your post. We're your mystery visitors from Palm Bay, FL. I like track my blog with Google analytics, but I'll have to get one of those visitor maps, too.

I'd love a map like that too--I'll have to figure out how to put that on my blog.

We are officially homeless right now... that's gotta be a first for your blog, eh? We are between Peoria, IL and Peterborough, England... until Aug. 24, when we will officially reside in the UK.
