You may be able to apply for Google’s Webmaster tools. They have awesome analytics for all kinds of great stuff – http://www.google.com/webmasters/ As for going through WordPress to actually identify which visitors are located where, that I don’t thingkyou can do. I would definitely give Google’s Webmaster tools a try!

Hope that helps a little…

Use statcounter [install the wordpress option; no javascript]. You can also use sitemeter but the former is better.

Statcounter will tell you about your last 500 hits [IP addresses; page views etc.]

Do note though that IP addresses can only tell you a general vicinity. Mine for example will either show me in Salt Lake City, Cheyenne, WY or Denver, CO – the closest of which is 350 miles from where I am.

Hmm, gone are the days when IP addresses were unique!

You could always ask them to meet you for coffee somewhere.

6 months from now I’ll be growing my own coffee.

But if I recall my coffee facts, it’ll be five years before you can drink it.

Not if I get a place with mature trees – which is my plan.

Not cheap. If you can afford that, then I guess you can afford to make coffee for all your blog readers. Me, I meet at the pub and only after someone offers to buy my drinks!
