The graphic above shows the most popular areas where people were reading RVtravel.com at 6 p.m. PDT, Monday (yesterday). The bigger the circle, the more readers.
At the moment the illustration was captured as a screen shot of our real-time analytics report, 446 readers were on our website. In the previous 30 minutes, 2,461 people had visited. This is usually a slow time of day. This morning up to 1,000 readers were on the website at once, and 8,000 readers had checked in the previous 30 minutes.
Just because an area does not show any activity doesn’t mean there are not readers there. It may only be a few, or a few dozen, just not enough to register on the graph.
Most of the time, about 93 percent of our readers are in the United States with five percent in Canada. Another two percent are scattered around the world, typically in the U.K., Germany, Holland and Down Under in South Africa, New Zealand and Australia.
Awhile back, we received a note from a reader in a scientific research station in Antarctica. We regularly attract readers from Japan, too. We have yet to hear from an astronaut on the International Space Station; if that’s where you’re reading right now, please leave a comment. If you want to write a column about travel by spaceship, we’d be mighty happy to share your words with our readers in their land-locked Earthships.
If you’re up for it, leave a comment and tell us where you are right now as you read this.
