Visitor IP Geographic Tracking
« Web Analytics - Tracking referrals | Main | SEO - the real free advertising »After some beta testing, we released the visitor IP location tracking feature. This feature allows members to track their visitors geographic location based on the IP address. However, not all IP addresses are mapped to known geographic locations.
This feature is a result of a mashup of Google Maps and the data information from various data sources on geographic ip information. Some IP addreses may not be accurately mapped due to ISP and IP changes. The IP information is obtained through people who help match their cities to their IP addresses and also doing a trace route on the IP address. However, overall this feature should give a good approximate geographic location of a website audience.
