Turns out Douglas being banned benefitted us in two ways, not just one! Not only do we not have to deal with him, but it seems to have increased our site views and made diverse traffic commonplace! I found a site that looks at our views here and where they come from. Here's about the oddest statistic you will ever see:


 * Views as of September 15, 2015: 4,000


 * Views as of October 15, 2015: 25,000!

That is a 525% increase! The one major thing that changed during that time? Douglas was banned. Foreign Traffic also seemed to increase. Views from China have gone up a little bit over 9%, thwarting China into a position to where it has the 3rd most traffic from any country on our site at 1.96% (Only beat out by Canada and the United States). And, what makes it odder is that we have one user who at least claims to be from the Bahamas. The Bahamas ranks 77th in our site traffic (and I bet that about 90% of those views belong to Michelle). Yet, we have no known users from China and they rank 3rd.

There is not quite as much US traffic as I thought we would of had. 73.39% of all traffic here comes from the US, and that's still up 3 1/2% from September 15, and still a undisputed #1 in terms of traffic.

The longest visit duration belongs to Niue Island, New Zealand, where on average they are visiting us for 19 Minutes and viewing 11 pages per visit.

The one Country that appears to have liked Douglas: Russia. Russia traffic decreased about 4% since we banned Doug.
