New Traffic Geo Distribution Graph
We’ve just added a new interesting and informative graph to your dashboard – the Traffic Geo Distribution pie, which is located just under the Top Referring Sites graph. This pie shows the geographical distribution of your readers, or in other words, where in the world your readers come from.
And what is so interesting about that? Well, first of all, you must be curious regarding the whereabouts of your readers and who your content attracts, aren’t you? However, there’s another thing you can learn from this graph and that’s a general clue about the quality of your traffic monetization-wise, and the effect that has on your earnings.
In general, if your audience is coming from countries with high GDP per Capita where English is the main language (i.e. USA, Australia, Canada, UK) then your average earning per page view should be higher than if your audience mainly comes from countries with lower GDP per Capita where English is not the main language (India, China, Russia etc.). The reason is simple: your earnings are generated from selling advertisements on your English articles, and advertising is sold in more quantity and in higher prices to advertisers from countries with higher GDPs where English is the main language.
What can you do with this information? You can try and attract more audience from English speaking high GDP countries. How? Write content that caters to them, write about subjects they are interested in. If you take an active part in promoting your content, invest your time in promoting to this audience rather than to audiences from lower GDP countries.
Hope you find the new graph helpful, and as always — happy publishing!

Awesome feature! It’s really great to see where my visitors came from. But why there’s no “other countries” listed on the graph? Is it because there are just too few of them visited my articles or simply it’s because there are absolutely no visitor from other countries (which is really impossible).
I think it’s because it list all the views from different countries. For example, if you didn’t have a view from, say, Mexico, and today you got a view from someone in Mexico, it would show up as another (thin) slice, not an “Other countries” slice.
Also, the texts on the lower part and the upper part (US and Australia) are a bit misaligned. No big deal but it will be perfect to see it fixed.
Wow, its cool and help me to understand more SEO options.
Hmmm. I show nothing except headings for:
Visit Trends
Top Referring Sites (last 30 days)
Traffic Geo Distribution
Cool new report. Thanks for it. The geo-targeting is very useful. If your audience is mostly from non-english speaking that shall mean your readers are more educated, know english and read articles written in foreign languages in order to know more about the topic they are interested.
Wow 17% from Kazakhstan. What?
does this data get updated every month or not?
What you’re seeing is data from the last 30 days. Well — we’re only collecting the geo data for about a week now, so right now you’re seeing data from the last several days, however once we have more than 30 days tracked you’ll see only the last 30 days in order to keep it relevant.
Great. thanks a lot for this
Great add on…This will surely help us understand how and where our articles get hits from…
Comes as not a surprise to see that USA and Canada comprise my largest visitors. Useful feature. Interesting what user N.Sun noted re: Kazakhstan. On another site I noted a curiously higher than expected visitor trend from Kazakhstan also..
Surely this is very helpful and a great addition to the tools we already have. I was expecting this from you guys. Thank you.
This is real bullshit!
English is main language for India. India is not like Russia or China. India’s GDP will be higher if calculated from only people who use the internet. Many indian websites are in English and all official websites are in English. Our official language is English. We inherited it from the British, the so-called United Kingdom that you had put in the high GDP list.
You have insulted our country, the world’s largest democracy and diverse country in all aspects including economy and internet usage. If you didn’t want to pay as much amount as in the case of US audience, you do not necessarily have to back it up with languages and GDPs.
All these days I had been thinking Indian finance ministry wasn’t friendly to Indian freelancers. Now even Triond and may be foreign advertisers too aren’t friendly to us. That deeply saddens me.
I Agree with you bro. It is time the world realized that we accepted english as our own long back.
I found that statement about GDP somewhat offensive as well. I am very proud that people from all over the world read and enjoy my articles. If we only cater to a US audience, we develop tunnel vision and start thinking that only the issues affecting us directly matter. The world is very large and we all depend on one another.
There is not a single product anywhere that does not come from multiple places in the world. The raw materials come from one country, it is shipped to another, smelted, refined or processed, shipped again to be made into specific products, then shipped again.
Triond should apologize for alienating the non-US authors and readers with such a narrow view of the world.
Triond users from all over the world are welcome to write about anything they like to write about and their published articles are available anywhere in the world for reading. We are proud to enable that.
We’re also not asking you to only cater to US audience. You are free to write articles about anything, be it Baseball or Cricket, Christianity or Jainism, Automotive Sports or Camel Racing. Anything.
With the new traffic geo distribution graph we’re simply increasing our transparency and providing you information that can help you understand your earnings better — and can also help you optimize them if you like. The choice is yours.
Camel racing??? Do you think all of India is like Paheli?
India is indeed not like Russia or China. India has far more poor people than Russia or China.
What’s that Hindi saying again? If someone is starving you can be certain someone else stole his roti?
I am so excited about this new feature. Thanks soo much I love the improvement on this site…Now off to write some articles here.
Separating India and Indian internet users’ as low quality traffic hurted me badly.
I guess it might not be your idea. If this is really not your idea but the advertiser’s (now adMarketplace), I would request you to kindly be on lookout for a better online advertiser.
Meanwhile I will focus on USA, Australia, UK, Canada etc. and also write about Johnny Depp and his friends!
Good stuff.
However, it doesn’t show on the computer I am currently using (neither does the graphs for Visit Trends or Top Reffering Sites)
They show on a different computer using the same Internet connection – both use IE7 so I reckon it must be some setting here.
Any thoughts are welcome.
It’s cool, just downloaded Google Chrome and can see the graphs now.
Thanks for this update, anyway, it isn’t a surprise though as we know whom we are targeting. Now we can work on diversifying our target audience to reduce the risk of changing advertisers. This graph helps to know precisely whether we have diversified enough.
Funny for me, I get less rate per view when I write about Indian products, and more per view when I write about American stocks. These are really weird things. Hope someday US GDP falls down (because of all the bubbles) and Indian GDP rises to make my day.
the relocate button is awesome as well.
I got 25% from US and 75% from Norway.
Thank you US and Norway – happy reading! LOL.
Great feature. I also noticed that we now have a bigger version of top contributing keywords. Thanks for listening to our suggestions. Here is the GDP list if anyone is interested. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_%28nominal%29. The language and GDP percapita does not have any relation. If you look at the wikipedia list, you will see China and Japan on top even above UK. It is quite possible that China will surpass US in GDP in the near future and India is also catching up. So, plan to learn Hindi and Chinese.
. Just kidding. Thanks Triond for the addition
You do realize that Hindi isn’t the only language in India, right? There’s Gujrati, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Marathi, Bengali, Oriya….
Do you realize that Hindi is the national language and spoken by more people when compared to any other language.
. Of course it has 15 major languages and about 844 different dialects.
You do know that there is no national language in India. There are 17 official languages in India where Hindi is one of them.
Look at wikipedia.

very very very interesting! never knew my articles were so popular in asia too =P
that is very nice interesting feature added to the site, must say it Geo distribution graphs are informative on visitors!
This is a great new feature. You get to see how many countries are viewing your content.
Great feature. Good suggestions from Triond on boosting the earnings.
very good suggestion
A very useful pie chart. Over all I feel Triond has made great strides this year for the dedicated writers well done. LB
Thanks for this useful feature, will help us with our content development and points of focus for generating more traffic
Cool Feature! It’s interesting to see where the readers are coming from. Nice Add!
-Callen
Great study! Informative and instructive! It should now my endeavor to travel in a different direction!
useless for me.
Nothing else seems to load on that side of my dashboard since you added the chart for where other writers get their views from on search engines.
Please make these add ons optional.
Mark,
Which browser (vendor and version) and operating system are you using?
Mark,
There was an issue with IE7 which was solved. Things should work now.
Please let us know if not.
Thanks.
Its a very good feature and thanks for the designers.
Great stuff Shahar, more and more great updates are coming and I am very impressed.
I am sure you know as much as I that small things like this keep a tight knit community. The badges might seem trivial however that is always a big thumbs up that all online writers seem to miss if they do leave Triond.
I love Triond for their hard work, and I commend you guys. You guys are doing a terrific job, and I hope to see the great work continue.
Hope to see more updates soon.
And as always — happy publishing!
Ohh wait…??? $%^&
*realizes he has read too much from the Triond Blog*
This is an excellent gift.. Thanks
Thanks Triond Team,
This is actually good. Nice to see which countries read your articles and their numbers.
My graph: 1) USA, 2) Canada, 3) UK, 4) Australia, 5) India, 6) Germany, 7) Sweden. Very interesting. Just published a new article. I wonder why it doesn’t show on my dashboard yet?
I want to congratulate and thank Shahar & Triond for this feature. It is really good and can be very helpful in the future.
Triond is always doing something to improve things. And Shahar, I don’t think he ever sleeps. It’s really great to see where visitors come from. This site is so unique. I’m pretty sure Triond is here to stay.When we had the Malware problem seems like Triond caught it before anyone could take their next breath.
Awesome feature! Its really very good. We always welcome new and good features..thanks triond team.
The badges are just plain cute and inspiring. When my impression counter wasn’t working I was in a tizzy but it did get fixed fast. It’s like gold stars, everyone loves a goled star, like the ones we got in school. Even if they don’t admit it.
How do we get to know which country is going to view your post and is it possible to direct your article to your targeted area with high GDP
I have 28% readers from USA and 25% from China. I never thought that i will get so many readers from China. I have few Chinese friends here Triond. Majority of my friends here are Indians and Filipinos.
Hey, this is an amazing feature. However, I guess, this chart is missing on the African Nations (at least in my chart it is not showing, though I have friends from there.) Thanks for improving out experience, by the day Triond. Congratulations.
Warm Regards,
Raj
The new graph is helpful. Thank you.
Glad to see Google is my top traffic generator, and most of my readers come from US. I just hope they can click on the ad.
Guess who’s been having too many views from The Netherlands? Nice feature. Hope it is reliable.
It’s very usefull. Thank you
I love the traffic Geo Dist feature but I don’t understand why I am not getting more U.S. and Canadian traffic? I write articles that, to me, are amer-centric.
I really like this addition thank you.
I have some questions though…
I have two articles thar are not calculating properly.
PAIN is only showing 1 comment when there are 4!
OCTOBER Is Breast Cancer Awareness Month is only showing 3 comments when there are 4!
Why is this?
Also my Impressions badge has been stuck at saying I need 20 more to reach 2000 for the past 24 or more hours and I have had well over 200 hits.
I hope someone can look into this for me.
Thank you
Happening for me too.
Mine’s changed after few hours
Now I got the new badge 500,000
Great feature. Great value addition for the writers.
Off topic. I know you’re busy and all but I hope you’ll approve my articles in time for the October Special. Thanks!
Cool
