Maybe Google just gives us all the same map? Seriously, I used to get much of my readership from India, because I had built up an Orkut identity. Then a few weeks ago someone bookmarked one of my posts to Netscape & now I'm getting more traffic from the US. Incidentally, do you know whether traffic from Orkut may actually reduce a site's position on search engines due to the level of spam at Orkut?

Kind of fun to have such a wide variety of visitors! Although US traffic wins hands down, I have recorded visitors from 153 countries across my small blog network.

I admit I didn't know you could zoom in on the Google Analytics map, so that's one useful thing I learned! I also learned that most of my traffic comes from in-state. That's good news to me, since both my blogs incorporate information that's relevant to people in South Carolina. Maybe I won't garner as big an audience as an LA blogger, but I'm happy with my own niche. Interesting.

I get a lot from Australia (but I do blog about the afl among other things)... In your last points you asked if we tailor our posts to our audience geographically. What would be some ideas?? Maybe you could explain deeper in a post in the near future??? Thanks Good idea, I looked at the same before this post but it is a good idea.

I just started this fairly focused regional Blog, and am surprised by how much time visitors who have stumbled into my site actually spend here. Also, I'm surprised to see my area fairly well represented on your map ( We're in that smear east of Cleveland)... must be my visits showing up fairly frequently. The map overlay is interesting.

I too had been checking Google stats today and was wondering if it would be worthwhile posting to catch various time zones around the world. That is, just before a peak is shown in the hits. Would this be any advantage? Anyone know? The other thing I noticed was that the Google 'bounce' rate was highest in countries that did not have English as native language.

I have been working with (techies at) http://www.fetchrex.com, a Digg-type site for non-techies, and they are all about the Analytics and this kind of stuff, which has been really interesting & educational for me, especially how you can gauge response to different topics in different parts of the U.S. and around the world.
