ClustrMaps is a hit counter map widget which allows showing the locations of the visitors of one specific site in a map. Geographer by education, I was interested to know, where the visitors of “Paysages” come from, so I installed the widget on 7 of April 2011. And since this date its running, providing me and the visitors of paysages nice maps with yellow and red dots.
More or less one two years ago I published a first note about clustrmaps in paysages, – one 
year ago followed the second note – and now here is third note. In three years Clustrmaps counted about 41134 readers visiting paysages. In the last year, from 7 of April 2013 to 7 of April 2014 paysages received 12966 visitors (14331 2012/2013).
Most of the visitors of paysages come from France, followed by visitors from Germany and the U.S.A. About more than 86,49 % of the visitors come from France, Germany, the USA, Tunisia, & Switzerland (Details see Tab 1.). Compared to the article of 2013, there were no major changes, with the exception of the fact that the readers from the United Kingdom reached the 10. position in the audience ship relegating Morocco on the 12. position (the Netherlands on the 11. position). Paysages is still a francophone blog, mostly read by person coming from francophone countries.
It can be suggested that most readers/visitors from other countries are French reading people. The most visited article seemed to be still “1949 – l‘incendie meurtrier dans la Forêt des Landes” remembering the dramatic forest fire in the Landes in 1949[1].
