Latest Stats as at 13/11/2011. ============================= These figures cover the 16-day period 16/10/2011 to 31/10/2011. Lots of rubbish and malicious hits this time. There was even 218 hits from a "computer" using Firefox 1.3.3. This was a new one on me, since Firefox jumped from 1.0 to 1.5 several years ago and anyhow Firefox 1.0 barely worked. Operating System Market Share ============================== For the period 16th to 31st October 2011, these percentage figures are based on visits, with earlier figures in brackets:- Windows-7 32.5 (31.0, 31.7, 31.4, 30.7, 29.9, 30.2) XP 27.7 (30.1, 29.7, 30.5, 31.4, 31.4, 31.7, 32.7) Vista 9.8 (10.5, 10.2, 10.7, 10.5, 11.2, 11.4, 11.7) Other Windows 2.2 (1.9, 1.7, 1.6, 1.2, 1.4, 1.2, 1.7) Mac 13.0 (12.4, 12.0, 12.1, 12.1, 11.6, 10.9, 11.4) iPhone etc 9.3 (8.4, 9.0, 8.4, 8.2, 8.4, 7.9, 8.8) Android 2.0 (2.1, 1.9, 1.7, 1.5, 1.7, 1.9, 1.9) Other Mobiles 2.6 (2.9, 2.8, 2.9, 3.3, 3.4, 3.6) Linux 0.9 (0.7, 0.9, 0.7, 1.0, 1.0, 1.1, 0.8, 1.1) Windows-7 has drawn ahead of XP and Vista has declined a little. Android is steady around 2.0% whilst Australia's love affair with the Apple iPhone/iPad continues at around 9%. Within the "Other Mobiles" category, Nokia/Symbian has released new phones, and the Maemo operating system is just starting to appear in the statistics. However visits from earlier Nokia phones is declining, putting Nokia further behind Blackberry. The total sample size above was 18321. Browser Breakup =============== Percentages of visits for the period 16th to 31st October 2011:- IE 41.1 (41.0, 41.7, 42.4, 42.0, 41.2, 39.0, 41.8, 45.4) Safari 20.6 (19.5 (19.8, 19.3, 18.5, 18.5, 17.8, 19.5) FF 18.7 (18.6, 18.6, 19.0, 20.2, 20.4, 23.4, 19.2) Chrome 15.8 (17.1, 16.2, 15.3, 15.0, 15.3, 14.9, 15.0) Opera 2.1 (2.1, 2.0, 2.4, 2.3, 2.4, 2.3, 2.8, 2.2, 2.0) All Others 1.7 (1.7, 1.7, 1.9, 2.0, 2.2, 2.5, 2.3, 2.4) Here's a question. Which browsers are used on Windows-7 compared with Windows XP? Internet Explorer: currently 62.7% on XP and Windows-7 52.6%. Firefox: XP 21.4% and Windows-7 21.9%. Chrome: XP 13.5% and Windows-7 24.0%. All other browsers: XP 2.4% and Windows-7 1.5%. Chrome is far more popular on Windows-7 compared with the earlier Windows XP. Despite the dip shown above for Chrome, it's fairly clear that Chrome will pass Firefox as the uptake of Windows-7 continues. The sample size was 18407 visits by humans. Search Engines Share ==================== Percentage breakup of visits coming via search engines for October 16th to 31st, 2011:- Google 90.3 (90.5, 91.1, 89.7, 90.5, 90.6, 90.5) Yahoo 3.6 (3.4, 3.5, 4.5, 3.6, 3.7, 2.8, 3.2, 3.1) Bing 3.5 (3.4, 2.8, 3.3, 3.6, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.6) All others 2.6 (2.7, 2.6, 2.4, 2.3, 2.2, 3.1, 3.2) A tiny drop in Google looks like a surge of support for Yahoo and Bing. Yahoo has swapped places with Bing again; this is mainly due to Yahoo Images which is more popular than Bing Images. The sample size above was 13604 visits. ================================ ===============================
