− | + | In the comic, by comparing three graphs, [[Cueball]] comes to the conclusion that the audience (presumably the owners/operators of "our site") should adjust their content or advertising to cater to {{w|Martha Stewart}} and {{w|furry fandom|furry}} porn fans. The actual reason the graphs are same is they all match the population concentration in the U.S., because there is no statistically-significant relation between geographic location and any of the mentioned sub-populations. | |
− | + | A heatmap (the term having been coined and [http://www.trademarkia.com/heatmaps-75263259.html trademarked] by {{w|Cormac Kinney}}) is a graph showing three-dimensional data on a two-dimensional image, with each pixel's colour representing the value of the data at that position. It does not necessarily have anything to do with heat, but a heatmap may resemble a thermal image. In this comic, red represents the highest numerical values, then yellow and green, with white the lowest values, in all three maps. | |

The title text reflects a similar situation in world maps where the website written in English is read by English-speaking users no matter the location, because their ISP and search providers direct them primarily to English websites, so the visitors' geographic graph matches the graph of the global English-speaking population. | The title text reflects a similar situation in world maps where the website written in English is read by English-speaking users no matter the location, because their ISP and search providers direct them primarily to English websites, so the visitors' geographic graph matches the graph of the global English-speaking population. | ||
