What is map stats? is a project to provide a overview of who is in your website.

You can see who is on your website or blog and can be added to any website. Will keep track of the hits since the day you install it. I’ll create more custom reports as this project matures

You can add it on your '>'>website by just adding the javascript tag here. The full instructions are pretty simple, just add this line to you html where you would like to see the map. You can change the size of the map using the parameters width and height:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://mapstats.net/Stats.ashx?Width=300&Height=200"></script>

How does it work?

At every request will geocode the IP address and will add the location on the map, right now the color changes lighter as the time goes by, the hits represent the last 12 hours or the last 100 people, whatever comes first. All this could change depending on the feedback received.

This is a pet project, something I created while the kids and wife were at a friends lake house in the River enjoying the spring break. For this pet project I used the ArcGIS API for Microsoft Silverlight,

You can find a button to open the application full screen and browse the results better.

Future Improvements

• Graphic reports of your website hits
• Better symbology as who is online at the same time
• Improvements at the top websites using map stats
• Documentation at the simple code step by step.
• “Geolinkage” of the websites using map stats? I may use Richie’s communication for Silverlight to do that.

Any feedback or improvements are extremely welcome. Any ideas of what features to add will keep the project interesting.
