At the end of last week, I gave a rundown of the top 10 most viewed posts on this blog. I’m going to run a few more stats based posts over the next few days. But today, I thought it would be interesting to look at the top 10 countries accessing this blog in 2019.
With no surprise at all, the UK heads the list for all time views.Just as on the 2019 list, the USA comes second by an incredibly wide margin.Canada remain third.Australia stays in fourth.The first change to the 2019 list puts South Africa with more overall views than New Zealand. They move up a space.New Zealand are pushed down to sixth by South Africa.India retain seventh as in 2019.Interestingly, Germany move up considerably. They took up the 10th space in the 2019 list, but overall they are the seventh most likely to visit. Germany’s rise puts Singapore down a space from the 2019 list.Perhaps most surprising of all, China takes 10th place in all time views. Knowing the Chinese government view on much of what is on this blog, this is no small thing. And the numbers are not tiny.
It is probably worth saying that in these days of VPNs and such things, these stats are not wholly reliably. But they paint an interesting picture. Most of it is unsurprising, but the inclusion of China on the list seems significant.
