Google Earth says ghosts are visiting my website

On the main page of acreativedesktop.com I have a small button that points to the DigitalPoint webmaster's tool which allows webmasters the ability to see a satellite image of recent visitors to their websites.

The free online tool works by using the IP address of the visitor to show a location with Google Earth. This website tool is just an approximate location of website visitors but is very interesting to say the least.


Today, I decided to scope out a random visitors location with this free tool and I was surprised at what I saw.
Google Earth says ghosts are visiting my website




When opening up the location with Google Earth, I shook my head when I saw the results.

Yes that's a cemetery and an actual funeral going on. I got goosebumps when I saw this because lately strange things have been happening like website files renaming themselves right in front of my eyes. I will continue to post any updates right here in this post in the future.

      Ha this is hilarious.

      BTW those ip finding devices are not perfect and they do alot of guessing based off ping times off nods.

      But it is funny anyway.

      I had sat down in front of the PC when I came across this interesting set of coordinates on my screen.

      I wouldn't have written a blog post about it, but I rarely mess around with this tool. Honestly, I view like two visitors once every 3-6 months.

      On an unrelated note, Kabon that yellow boat image that's on your site is spectacular. I really like the vivid colors and the peaceful setting.
