    When you looka t visitor stats to your site, it has a section Usage by Country for the given month. Where it says US COmmercial is that actual US based visitors or is it mostly people who's computers go through US Servers but are UK based users? I wander as our UK visitors is 17% at present, interested to hear exactly what these stats mean.

    Many thanks.

    We have a stats package that also shows usage by country and ours was showing UK: 8% and US commercial: 58% so I queried this with our web designer. If a visitors IP address ends with .com it registers this visit as US Commercial.
    Hope this explains it a little more.

    I have absolutely no affiliations with this product, but I can recommend using StatCounter on your website. It provides some excellent and detailed statistics and, for smaller sites, the service is completely free! The upgrade fees are entirely reasonable too.

    According to them: "Our free service is aimed at websites with 250,000 pageloads per month or less and offers lifetime summary stats and a detailed analysis of your last 100 pageloads."

    It appears to be pretty accurate in determining where people (or at least their ISPs) are from, at least at a country level. I am not allowed to post links yet, but it is at statcounter.com.
