I note that Japan has jumped to #2 on the list, after the USA. Some of my visitors are real people. :)

Too bad about the robots and spiders, though I expect you're right. It was kind of nice to think I had such a wide audience. :) I do feel better about them not leaving comments, however.

Right now it only allows a few basic tags; that was the default, and I haven't figured out how to allow character codes yet.

Those were supposed to be EM dashes, by the way. HTML character codes must be disabled.

I believe one cause for the inflated country count stems from the spiders who crawl around looking for e-mail addresses to index and spam. Since a majority of the spam messages that I receive &8212; those not automatically caught my by filters &8212; originate from foreign countries, I believe it is they who help create misleading figures.

I just had a thought about your question about the "visitors online" number, and why it gets so high sometimes.

That number is calculated based on the number of currently opened sessions. Robots probably don't use the session data, and thus every page visit counts as a new session.
