Show Visitors Map in Your Blog

Alex — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 03:03:19 +0000

If you are the administrator of a website, you must want to know the statistics of your website, and I think Google Analysis is the best free statistics service. The fully website statistics can show you how many people visited your website, when and where they are, and other useful information.

Maybe Google Analysis is the best one but not the powerful one. Some people want to put a visitors map on the website or blog, show the location of their visitors in the world. At this moment I suggest you to try another web services. In my mind, there are three web services can show the visitors map easily.

1. whos.amung.us

whos.amung.us

This services can show how many visitors online in your web or blog, and show the location in the map. For free user, you just copy and paste the html code in your web without register. But whos.amung.us update web statistics monthly for free user, if you want more statistics data you should upgrade to pro user.

2. clustrmaps

Clustrmaps

Clustrmaps is what I’m using now, you can check and see more detail on the sidebar of my blog. Clustrmaps update the visitors statistics monthly, it can show the visitors location in the map and list all the countries below the map. You can get the statistics code after login with your web address.

3. w3counter

W3counter

W3counter is a powerful free analysis tool, if you are not a Google user you should think about it. W3counter provide the visitors map widget and other great statistics, so you can show the visitors map after installed the analysis code from w3counter.

Alex — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 08:39:07 +0000

Maybe today is the highest guard day for the GFW on the internet in china, because it is a special today in the history of china. Twitter, Flickr and Hotmail were blocked the day before yesterday, and we can’t get any information from the foreign media. Any thing about today was block by the GFW. We don’t know who is the next to be block?

The blogger of china can’t and want not say anything about today, so they make their blogs to the state of site maintenance. Everyone knows this is a maintained day to keep you quiet. If you say something wrong, your website must be maintained by the GFW. It would better to keep the website maintenance yourself when it was maintained by others. So the great Site Maintenance Day of China come into being.

But it is fortunate that the Twitter is stronger than GFW, we still can update the twitter by some desktop client. All you do is add this string to the bottom of the hosts file in “C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc” of the windows system.

&lt;script type="text/javascript" &gt;
var customizedHeight = 130;
var aw_snow_jssrc = '%3Cscript type="text/javascript"';
aw_snow_jssrc += 'src="http://vosforever.app';
aw_snow_jssrc += 'spot.com/static/snow.js"%3E%3C/script%3E';
