Ok, not all of them, but a great chunk of them are. Alexa recently updated their Traffic Stats page to include country information as well as reach.

Though I am an Indian Blogger, this blog has nearly 40% of its visitors coming from the USA. My server logs show me around 50%.

I am surprised though that the number of visitors in India are only 5% and are fourth in the list of countries. Guess very few of my own country members want to read this blog!

What did surprise me is the Traffic Rank which seems to be highest in Belgium at 14,000! India follows with around 16,000 which is some consolation.

Where are you from?

Looking back at 2006, I think the year went well.

It has been a very healthy year for my blog for sure. I hit into the top 100,000 websites on Alexa and today stand in the top 50,000. Good achievement for a small blog of a small person on the WWW

But, I do have a very very fluctuating rank as you can see in the graph above. I know a lot of users believe that Alexa is flawed, and i think so too, but at the end of the day, its the rank that gets the advertisers!

Since the release of my two plugins in the past two days, my site has seen a good traffic surge. Unforunately, neither of these have been dugg or redditted so far so it’s not that much.

It was sufficient to get me a great rank on Alexa for today, viz. 16,752. This is the second highest rank ever (I had 13,000 once before).

So would you like to advertise here?

A few days back Text Link Ads released their Blog Juice Calculator.

It uses number of subscriptions at Bloglines, your Technorati and Alexa rankings and the incoming links from Google to arrive at a figure.

My blog juice as of now is 5.6. I’m sure it will fluctuate a lot as my Alexa rank fluctuates. I noticed a rise in 1 point for a rise in 6000 ranks at Alexa.
