Help on Countries (Click on a Flag to Expand) 30-01-2006
Brief: the country calculation is based on the original IP
address of the visitor; on a country level this is 99.98% accurate,
there are several parameters that dictate this! This statistic gives you
a good indication of the country coverage of your pages and helps you to
decide if you want to concentrate on other areas to increase this
coverage, Depending on your criteria and definition of "a"
country, the current count can range anywhere from 189 to 266 countries
in the world and this statistic will show all of them on a geographic
level should you have a visitor from these areas. - Sometimes
your country statistics will show the following: Private Network
These IP address
allocations fall into the following ranges 10.0.0.0 through
10.255.255.255 172.16.0.0 through 172.31.255.255 192.168.0.0
through 192.168.255.255 - Sometimes your country statistics will
show the following: Loop Back
These IP address allocations fall into the following ranges
127.0.0.1 but can include others - Sometimes your country
statistics will show the following: Reserved
These IP address allocations
have been reserved either for later use or have only very recently been
allocated for use. - Sometimes your country statistics will show
the following: Unknown
This more
than often means that the IP address was blocked and was unobtainable
usually due to a firewall or software on the visitors machine or
network, some private networks also do this so those that would have
fallen into the category of 192.168.0.0 etc. were unobtainable due to a
firewall. 1. You can get hits/unique/returns/reloads for
