I have written before about the total unreliability of sitemeter for its locations. Last week I looked at my blog in Souillac, Lot, southern France and glanced at the sitemeter data too. My location was given as Mantes-la-Jolie near Paris, an eternity away.
When I blog from home, my own address changes every day, but rarely is located outside the province of Eastern Flanders. But from Souillac to Mantes ....
I once heard that the US troups landing in Normandy tried to get Michelin maps because their staff maps were totally unreliable. Some twenty years ago I talked to a Californian who located Belgium in Africa. 63 years later, not much has changed. But, as we all know, the USA are the center of the world.
One almost wonders how they ever found Afghanistan or Iraq !
