Site monitoring program

The program is not 100% reliable. For example:

· A visit covering several pages is sometimes registered as several visits. At other times, separate visits from the same visitor are registered as one.

· Location recorded on the "visitor activity" page is occasionally different from that on the page dedicated to visitor location. Visits recorded as "unknown" on the location page often have their location identified on other pages.

Visiting countries

Countries are listed in alphabetical order. The order and date of their first visit is also given.
