Where Do You All Come From?

September 15th, 2007

We’ve booked a handful of destination weddings lately. Just a few days ago, we had someone e-mail to inquire about traveling to Japan for a wedding, which might officially be as far as we’ve travelled. That made me really curious to find out how our name has gotten that far around the globe. I also wanted to see where else people are visiting from.

The map below is provided by my site statistics software (Google Analytics). Any country in green is one where someone living there visited our site. I was very surprised to see visitors from all around the globe. Figuring out how they found us is eaiser than you’d think. Glyn, one of our grooms has people visiting the site to view his pictures. They’re coming from Dubai, Hawaii, the UK and a number of other places. Many of our grooms (and a portion of our brides) are return missionaries who forward the link onto people they met and grew close to while living abroad.

The countries in darkest green, send more traffic than others. It’s no surprise that the US is dark green being that 90% of our site traffic comes from the US. However, Japan is also clearly darker than the rest…. It’ll be interesting to see if we get more inquiries about events in Japan in the months ahead. I’m still trying to track down the exact reason for all of the traffic from Japan, as there are a LOT of visitors.

If you’re visiting the site from a far off place, chime in on the comments to this post. Let us all know you’re here and where you’re visiting from. We’d love to get a Hello from you!
