Geolocation of SEQanswers Visitors

[ECO]

Based on some interest, I started digging into the localization of our visitors, and thought it would be interesting to share.

Google Analytics makes visualization of this data easy, unfortunately there doesn't appear to be a way to extract all this data to enable further parsing. If someone is a GA-API pro, let me know. We could go straight from the ips, but that's more involved. I'd be willing to spring for one of these pay services (for example MaxMind), but I'd definitely need someone to take the reins.

So what follows are visitor maps directly from Analytics. If someone wants to see specific areas in more detail, let me know.

World

North America
USA

Canada

Central America

South America

Europe
Northern Europe

Southern Europe

Western Europe

Hostip.info is OK but I encountered reliability issues when I was using it. A better alternative would be to get a commercial geolocation database like from IP2Location or maybe even go with a web service from FraudLabs which has a free account : http://www.fraudlabs.com/freelicense.aspx?PackageID=2e .
