AOL will throw your numbers off
AOL uses proxy servers in Vienna and Mclean Virginia and all your AOL users will appear to be from Virginia. Depending on the type of website that you are running, (i.e. consumer products, corporate, or others) this traffic could affect your analysis. Anywhere from 5% to as much as 40%. So even if your AOL user is in another country, it will still show up as Virginia USA. This is a big gotcha that many people forget about.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
