I've gotten hits from Iran, which I think is kinda weird.

I seem to have a reader from Estonia, a country I didn't even know existed.

That, and my site is magically concealed from all non-americans. If you're not in america and you think you're seeing my website, it's juts a hallucination. So everyone who sees my comic is american :o .

I get lots of people from more obscure or far-flung countries visiting my site...if a somewhat different country shows up in my stat tracking I keep track of it.

So let's see...Romania, Bulgaria, Estonia, Lithuania, Finland, Sweeden, Czechs-Republic, Netherlands, Germany, Italy, France, Greece, Russia, Georgia (the former Soviet republic, not the US state), Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, China, Japan, Argentina.

Yeah...quite a few interesting locations. Almost half my hits come from outside North America.

I'd guess ours were predominantly from Australia and America. These also happen to be the two continents we have absolutely no characters from.

I guess the question is where are you? Because some of us such as "School Spirit" are from Australia, so hits from Australia are actually commonplace and the hits from the US are the aberration. So when you give a strange location mention where you are from too.

Is that true? I wouldn't think so. although if someone were specifically searching for a comic from australia they would come to him first but folks like dutch and joel are getting people coming from the same internet as the rest of us.

of course if there was a langauge barrier then it would likely be different.

very true we are all from the same internet, but for me to find someone from australia viewing my site would be really cool. Because to me Australia seems far away and exotic. But for those who live there it is quite mundane. thats all my point was.

Search is your friend... but because it now takes its data via POST and not GET, I can't link you to the search page. Instead you just get a link to the stats:

Uh. Well I'm in Ireland. But I used to live in Australia, so that's probably why I'm getting hits from there.

This webcomic, seen here is hosted on the free web host Comic Genesis which pretty much proves its not popular.

Well, I might not be in Australia now, but I do still have the passport. So *clicks link* you now have a dual-citizenship Australian person viewing your website.

I use extreme like Jim does, so I just hit his link and put my own username into the URL... So hmm.... 18,731 hits from the USA is pretty good... Heh.

I like my 10 hits from Mexico best.
