I found this a few days ago. If you go to my home page, http://www.kentarnsbarger.com then scroll to the very bottom you will see a tiny "GEO visitors" graphic. Click on it and you will see the world map of everyone who has been on my site in the last 24 hours. (not many for sure) From there you use Google Earth to really dig....

you will also see the code to put it on your site.

I cant wait till tomorrow to see where you all live!


Have fun

P.S. yes my site sucks, I know nothing, but it works.

edit: Now I see it, before I was seeing the seemingly related alt text about MySpace.

That's kind of cool.
I wonder if there's a way of doing it without letting the visitor know it's being done? (i.e. without having that ugly graphic on the page)
Been inclined to wander... off the beaten track.
That's where there's thunder... and the wind shouts back.

You can get the mapping (and much more) by using google analytics... it is also free and invisible to your visitors. http://www.google.com/analytics/

Analytics is great, but currently invite only.

Oh, sorry about that. I have had it for about 6 or 7 months now... I thought for sure it would have opened up by now.

#name img {display: hidden;}

The day when anyone with a website or that knows my IP can track my house without a warrant will be a scary one
