Physics news on Phys.org
I find roughly 20 times more visitors from the US than from the Philippines (37.8% vs 2.0% of traffic). The ratio of population Philippines/US ~ 3.3 so I conclude that PF is about 5.7 times more popular in the USA.

What is your data ?

Country Rank
Philippines 1,927
Sri Lanka 3,168
India 3,569
Canada 3,652
Singapore 3,687
United States 4,320
United Kingdom 4,503
Pakistan 4,597
Bangladesh 5,003
Malaysia 5,721
South Africa 6,693

We have a prolific spammer from the Phillipines.
 
alexa is not very accurate, but the Philippines does rank in 5th as sending the most traffic to PF according to our stats.

After clicking on a thread, look sort of near the top of the page, just above the first thread on that page, and you'll find a "Thread Tools" Menu. Click on that and select "Subscribe to this Thread." You'll have a choice of a few options (how you wish to be notified, which one of your folders you want to put the subscription in, etc.). Then click the "Add Subscription" button.
 
thanx
