2010 was a banner year at World Club Rankings. For the first time, we went over 100,000 unique hits and we’ve pulled over 100 members for the Facebook page. I had known that somewhere around 40% of the hits were coming from the United States and the United Kingdom, but I wasn’t sure what the real breakdown was, so I went to Google Analytics to see where all of you are from. I found the numbers interesting, so I thought I’d post what I’ve found.
Immediately below is a list of the 25 countries from which I received the most hits in 2010. Along with the list are the number of unique users I’ve had in each country as well as the percentage of the total. Since I’ve been travelling extensively over the past sixteen months, I’m also highlighting nations that I’ve visited in that time. It may not be interesting to anybody but me, but hey, it’s my blog.

As far as the numbers and the highlights are concerned, it’s the same here as it was with the nations. If your city isn’t on the list, you need to get your neighbors to visit the site.
