		<description>I don&#039;t buy all the numbers. I personally read your blog from South Sudan...and while on a computer attached to the Oxfam network no less!

My non-expert guess is that this i probably because most internet traffic in South Sudan comes up as Kenyan or goes via European servers at NGO HQ.</description>

		<description>&quot;SHOW me the data&quot; they all said and he did :)

Interesting increase in views and which of the posts were most popular. Some of them were evident, to me, and the data just confirmed the gut feel. 

The visits / views analytics is not accurate so I would not place too much emphasis on it. Second, where the people came from depends on the server you go through. I know that quite a few of the views on my blog which are listed as from the UK are actually from some country in Africa; the user is accessing through a server based in the UK. 

PS: I guess people read the blogs in office and not on weekends from home ;)

Look forward to another year of blogging from you..</description>

		<description>Just one point which might help explan your &quot;misreading&quot; of the repeat-visitor stats...

It&#039;s notoriously difficuly to get reliable first vs. repeat visitor statistics...  A combination of things but think for example &quot;cookies switched off&quot;, and &quot;uses a PC at home, a laptop at work, an iPad and an iPhone&quot;... Both of those skew the numbers...

That figure is more useful as a trend rather than an absolute... If you can increase your repeat-visits over a 3-6month period say, that&#039;s probably a genuine phenomenon (as the same issues would have been skewing the figures in a similar way throughout the period), but what they changed FROM and TO is anyone&#039;s guess! :-)</description>
