Earlier this year, I had some metrics package active on my site. It never made the server switch. It was interesting to say the least, but it wasn't really worth anything but entertainment for the time and energy put into it. Nevertheless, guess who visited my site before I stopped? Here's the greatest hits:
- The United States Army Information Systems Command
- Department of Transportation
- Pepsi Cola Company / North America (PCNA)
- United States Naval Academy
- AAA of Washington
- Carmax
- Sony Pictures Entertainment
- Google (not the crawler, someone at the Mountain View office)
- Dell Computer Corporation
And my favorite is the due to the vagueness and frequent return visits:
Defense Contract Management Agency
This is not to freak anyone out, but I get the ability with my free metrics package to see the IP addresses of who is visiting my site. I don't care who is, but it's one of those things I find completely fascinating.
99% of the visitors are just locations and the name of the ISP (Cox Communication, SBC, Concast, etc.)... but those lucky individuals with registered IP's get to let the world know who they are looking at...
