Top 20 Cities Visiting IPVM 2013

We get visitors from 180 or so. We have members from ~120.

For example, last month, we had 18 visits from Azerbaijan, 19 from Honduras, 23 from Cambodia. Those countries were in ranked ~110 overall.

We do not get a lot of search traffic (less than 30% overall) though surely search traffic helps all websites get visitors from smaller countries.

I definitely think the Taiwanese and Koreans are eager to learn and improve the quality of their products. That said, it's probably also skewed by the high concentration of companies in those two cities (Taipei and Seoul). Someone asked on Twitter about Chelmesford and Clovis, those are tiny cities with only one major manufacturer in each (Axis and Pelco respectively).

By comparison, I would say pretty much every 'big' manufacturer visits IPVM between 100 and 300 times a month. They may hate us but for some reason continue to read the site.

If you check discussions 5 times a day, it will probably show up as 5 times. I think our web stats times out a session after 30 minutes or an hour.

Yeah, me too :)

Part of it is certainly the Internet, it makes everyone more global, especially if you publish in English. The other thing is that we focus mostly on products and technology, which has a fairly broad geographic appeal.

Well, Moscow is the top city. For countries, Russia is second in EMEA, 10th overall:

UK is third overall and first in EMEA. That said, UK traffic is fairly weak considering they have 60+ million people speaking English. As one Brit quipped, "We hate IPVM almost as much as we hate IP cameras."

Also, there are many countries bunched up at the ~1,000 visit per month mark, including Germany, Netherlands, China, Israel, Brazil, Japan, South Africa and Sweeden.
