An interesting look at the countries visiting ATS.
We've installed new, more accurate software on our server that reports on the country-code of each visitor as they hit each page on the site.
Starting the 26th of last month, I began recording each hit from each country code. The above link shows all the countries, and how many times
visitors from that country hit a page on ATS.
There are more than a few interesting surprises.

I don't know why, but I'm quite surprised that the US has such an exponentially higher number of visitors. More than ten times the next highest.
I've seen a lot of members here from the UK, but I suppose that the population size isn't quite as comparible to that of the US. Or maybe Americans
just really love their conspiracies  . Glad to see Canada is making a decent showing. Kind of surprised that China made it into the top ten as well.
I would have thought the government would have blocked out the site entirel

Yarcofin,
America is at the heart of the conspiracies.  That may be the main reason for all the traffic, and my being unemployed helps!!

Duh. It is well known that all kinds of star children, reptilians, shape shifters, ghosts and aliens wander around ATS.

Hey, wait a minute now! Just because the Zapruder film was fudged, An errant weather balloon may, or may not have crashed in New Mexico circa 1947,
And No man has ever set foot on the moon, does'nt mean that The whole country is at the heart of the conspiracies. I happen to know at least 3 people
who are'nt in on anything!!!
Go U. S. !!
I actually like this new feature! Go ATS!!

Small question. What about all the people connecting to the internet via proxy servers? Ok ok the majority won't but i am sure some members will be.

This is a nice feature.
But, are the statistics available for how many active members come from each country?
imho - Having a zillion hits is'nt very meaningful, unless those doing the hitting are making some sort of productive contribution.
Also some countries might just be spying on ATS, which may explain some of the results.
Just my thoughts on the subject.

Well, even the unproductive hits make a contribution as far as hit counters and advertisers care.
Expressed as a percentage, the U.S. has the greatest number of Internet users worldwide. Not surprising that they would appear in significant numbers.
The Congo however is surprising.

imho - It could be proxy servrers over there, no? That could account for China making the top 10.

Interesting stats.

KZ - Kazakhstan 81 0.0007 % 
Quite a lot of countries on that list.
