Latest Stats as at 5/8/2011.
=============================

These figures cover the 16-day period 16/7/2011 to 31/7/2011.

In this fortnight, once again, further measures have been taken 
to exclude rubbish visits.  The emphasis has been excluding
short visits and unrealistic visits.  One supposedly human visitor 
read over 400 pages in 20 minutes, and not a single image.

  
Operating System Market Share
==============================

For the period 16th to 31st July 2011, these percentage figures 
are based on visits, with earlier figures in brackets:-

XP 31.7 (32.7, 35.5, 35.6, 37.4, 37.3, 37.4, 39.2, 40.0))
Windows-7 30.2 (27.5, 27.9, 28.0, 28.2, 26.4, 25.8) 
Vista 11.4 (11.7, 10.5, 12.1, 12.1, 12.4, 13.6, 13.2)
Other Windows 1.2 (1.7, 1.3, 1.8, 2.0, 1.7, 1.9, 1.7)
Mac 10.9 (11.4, 11.0, 11.1, 10.3, 11.5, 11.1, 10.4, 10.5)
iPhone etc 7.9 (8.8, 6.5, 5.6, 4.9, 5.5, 5.5, 4.8, 5.1)
Android 1.9 (1.9, 1.9, 1.4, 1.1, 1.1, 1.0, 0.8, 0.8) 
Other Mobiles 3.6 (3.4, 4.2, 3.3, 3.0, 3.0, 2.9, 2.2)
Linux 1.1 (0.8, 1.1, 1.1, 1.0, 1.0, 0.8, 0.8, 0.6, 0.8) 

Windows XP and Vista both continue to decline, while 
Windows 7 continues to grow.

When Windows-7 is looked at on different continents, it 
has already passed Windows XP in Australia, Western Europe
and in the UK and Scandinavia.  However in the USA, Asia and 
the Rest-of-the-World, XP still rules.  Perhaps in America
they embraced Vista, and owners are not quite ready for a new PC.
In Asia, XP is still preferred, possibly because it frequently
"comes with the hardware".  

In the UK and in Australia, the massive love affair with Apple 
products continues.  The iPad tablet computer is now far ahead 
of the iPod device, but the iPhone is still tops. Many people 
think a tablet computer is just another name for an iPad.

But the Android boom continues.  Currently for the USA the visits 
from Androids are exactly half the visits from the three Apple 
products iPad, iPod and iPhone combined.  

Nokia and Blackberry are holding their tally of visits, 
but the sales of new smart phones is clearly passing them by.  
The market share for Windows on mobiles is way under 1% so don't 
read any spin platforms or listen to any sales pitch.

The total sample size above was 14240 visits by humans.


Browser Breakup
===============

Percentages of visits for the period 16th to 31st July 2011:-

IE 39.0 (41.8, 45.4, 47.0, 50.1, 47.8, 49.1, 52.4, 49.5)
FF 23.4 (19.2, 19.0, 19.7, 19.0, 20.2, 20.5, 19.8, 20.6)  
Safari 17.8 (19.5, 16.0, 14.9, 13.4, 15.4, 15.1, 13.9, 14.5)
Chrome 14.9 (15.0, 14.4, 14.3, 13.6, 12.8, 11.7, 10.9, 11.5)
Opera 2.4 (2.3, 2.8, 2.2, 2.0, 1.8, 1.8, 1.4, 2.2, 2.3, 2.7)
All Others 2.5 (2.3, 2.4, 1.8, 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, 1.8, 1.6, 1.7)

The decline of Internet Explorer continues.

A strange result, in that Firefox has jumped up and 
Safari has declined.

The sample size was 14304 visits by humans. 


Search Engines Share
==================== 

Percentage breakup of visits coming via search engines 
for July 16th to 31st, 2011:-

Google 90.5 (89.9, 90.6, 90.3, 91.8, 90.9, 90.5, 89.5, 90.2)
Bing 3.6 (3.7, 3.6, 3.5, 3.2, 3.2, 3.4, 4.3, 4.1, 3.5, 3.2)
Yahoo 2.8 (3.2, 3.1, 3.0, 2.5, 2.8, 3.1, 3.2, 3.1, 2.7, 3.2)
All others 3.1 (3.2, 2.6, 3.1, 2.5, 3.1, 3.0, 2.9, 2.5, 2.4)

Not good news for Yahoo.  

About 60 searches came from the Chinese state-owned search 
engine Baidu.  For a while I thought the flood gates had opened 
and Chinese citizens could admire Bondi Beach.

But no, it's some sort of programming error where the page names
are correct but the search strings are either missing or nothing to 
do with my pages.  Almost all of these searches have been excluded.

The sample size above was 9165 searches.
