Oh, anyone who has had a web site for more than a smidget of time knows the purpose of a ‘hits log’ ( the record of who visits your site leaving — sometimes- a distinctive DNS number). In addition, there are many services that will give you some quick and dirty tracking of your visitors… like sitemeter… so it is always interesting to see that whenever I put ‘Saudi Arabia’ or ‘Cal Poly and Saudi Arabia’… I get some interesting visitors.
Saudi Arabia is clearly one of the biggest ‘internet’ censors…. so you can imagine how fascinating it is for me to see someone on my site from that part of the world. Although they don’t want information coming into the country.. they do want to know what folks are saying in the outside world about them.
By the way, if you don’t know what’s going on between Saudi Arabia and Cal bin Poly… read this blog or do a little google searching.
Have fun!
