Many visitors from China again

One of the main rea­sons for updat­ing this site, was that I had many vis­i­tors, espe­cially from the Peo­ple’s Repub­lic of China. It was nice that the Chi­nese peo­ple found their way here, and most of them were down­load­ing the code to the Mul­ti­ple Pre­ci­sion Tool­box for MATLAB under Microsoft Win­dows. When I had set up the new site in Jan­u­ary, I fol­lowed how the traf­fic devel­oped on the sta­tis­tics of my web hotel, and it seemed that I had zero vis­i­tors from China. I thought it was strange and tried to find out why.

Finally, today, I found that I did have vis­i­tors from China. The prob­lem was that I had switched to using Google Ana­lyt­ics instead instead of check­ing the sta­tis­tics at my web hotel! When check­ing the web hotel I found out that the vis­i­tors from China had come back in Feb­ru­ary. I then found out that Google Ana­lyt­ics does not work well with traf­fic in China.

So the traf­fic to the Peo­ple’s Repub­lic of China just dis­ap­peared for a cou­ple of weeks, just after I had updated the site. Soon, the traf­fic from China had come back again, but then I was unlucky hav­ing switched to Google Ana­lyt­ics. This took me some time to find out. Now I know that I have the Chi­nese peo­ple back here again, and I am happy about that. But I still won­der why Google Ana­lyt­ics, a very nice tool for site opti­miza­tion,  does not work for traf­fic the Peo­ple’s Repub­lic of China?!?!
