New McMaster Blog getting traffic from Germany and Netherlands
Hey guys. Many of you have probably heard me try and pimp my new blog, so ill leave that till the end of this post. But I've noticed something funny when I check the traffic to my website. The blog is primarily about random bits of life, surrounded by stuff about hamilton, mac, being a grad student, being a grad student at mac etc.... For some reason a significant portion of my views come from europe, specifically Germany and Netherlands :S....What? Why?

Got any ideas? Help me speculate as to why.


----
Now as promised, a rehash of what the blog is about:
Im a new Neuroscience grad student at Mac, so i started a blog to document the transition to grad and the transtion to mcmaster (im from U of T). Its mainly just tid bits of life for now but will mainly be about McMaster/grad school as its seen through real world eyes, not PR releases.

I know for a fact that Germany has an exchange program with Mac. I made a few friends first year that were from Germany.

Could be people viewing your blog through a proxy or Tor with a german address, although why people would be viewing your site through a proxy is beyond me.

You know how IntroPsych has that tracker thing showing a map of people accessing the lecture videos? They also showed some traffic from Germany, and even other countries around the world. lol
