I’ve been blogging since 10/2/2008.
Since then, my blog has had visitors from 9,704 cities in 171 countries around the world, and has been read in 90 languages.
I don’t blog to monetize my website – I write because I’m passionate about recruiting and technology. Okay, I may be a little obsessed too. Maybe more than a little. :-)
Because I am not a professional blogger, I’ve never really drilled into my website analytics beyond the basics. I recently had a friend ask me about the visitors to my blog, and I really couldn’t tell him much other than the obvious, which made me feel a little stupid. Okay, maybe more than a little.
So, I decided to dig into my website analytics and share with you what I found. I hope you find it as interesting as I do!
Top 25 Countries
- United States
- India
- United Kingdom (very close to tying India, BTW)
- Canada
- Australia
- Netherlands
- Germany
- Singapore
- Philippines

- France
- Lebanon
- Russia
- Switzerland
- New Zealand
- China
- Malaysia
- Italy
- Japan
- Hong Kong
- Thailand
- United Arab Emirates

Yes, I know Hong Kong (#20) isn’t a country – I am not sure why Google Analytics listed it as such. Perhaps because Hong Kong is a Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China?
If you add the numbers from Hong Kong into China, China would jump all the way to #8, and the #25 country would be South Africa.

As Always
Thank you for reading my blog! I would also like to extend special thanks to those of you who have recommended my site to others. I write to share ideas, so I appreciate you “paying it forward” and sharing with others.
I must admit I’m hooked on being able to share my thoughts and opinions with recruiters, sourcers and HR professionals all over world, and I sincerely appreciate my international readership! I had no idea how strong it was!
As a last note – don’t hesitate to let me know if there is anything specific you’d like me to write about, or if you’d be interested in guest posting on this site.
