WHAT DOES “EU” (EUROPEAN COUNTRY)” MEAN IN GEOIP COUNTRY REPORTS ?
PROBLEM: I use the AWStats GeoIp country plugins to report countries according to geolocalisation of IP address. In country report, I have some visitors said to come from “eu (European country)”. If this visitor come from France, does this means it is reported twice ? SOLUTION: No. “eu (European country)” means we are sure that visitor come from an european country but we can’t tell wich one. It might be a major country like France, Great Britain, Spain, Germany… like a very small one. So, in the country report, each visitor is in one and only one group. If reported in “eu (European country)”, it is not counted in another country, and if reported in a particular country, it is not counted in “eu (European country)”, even if this country is in Europe.
