Foreign Perspectives

It’s always interesting to look at statistics on the websites. They never fail to turn up surprises.

For one thing, if you strip out ourselves, the majority of the visitors to this site are from America with the UK coming in second place. Or at least that’s what google says. For alexa on the other hand, it’s abot 35% from America and under 5% for the UK which reflects the greater use of the alexa toolbar in America as compared to the UK.

But that’s not too accurate either as the number of readers that arrive via Reuters dwarfs everything else yet isn’t counted by either of the above systems.

In theory, that means that I should be targetting the articles towards the Reuters audience but I’ve not worked out how to do that just yet (suggestions welcome!).
