trq Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 They are the stats for there site, so its not really worth taking them into consideration seeing as its a web development site visited mostly by newcomers to web development. These people are failry likely to be using alternate browser anyway.

These people are failry likely to be using alternate browser anyway. Indeed, All the 'statistics' come from, to some extent, bias sources as it's impossible to log every person somehow on every site that is browsed normally by users. Many sites like Facebook or W3schools are viewed by the obvious newcommers, so if they're all using IE it's automatically the most used browser?

I should imagine that Facebook would probably have a good wide audience in to gather these sorts of stats because it not a site designed for web developers. w3schools on the other hand, is.

Lamez Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 This is very interesting. PHPFreaks should make a log of the browsers that are being used, and display some statistics.

trq Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 This is very interesting. PHPFreaks should make a log of the browsers that are being used, and display some statistics. They would be (once again) pretty unreliable because everyone who visits this web site is a web developer. You need stats on average joe.

Derleek Posted January 17, 2010 Author Share Posted January 17, 2010 here is a MUCH different view. I think this might be more accurate (unfortunately...)

Lamez Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I am not looking for accurate, but more for fun. Google, should have some good statistics.

oni-kun Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I am not looking for accurate, but more for fun. Google, should have some good statistics. IE still has a highly inflated amount of percentages no matter what. And for google (Or better Yahoo) it would make more sense to start there, but again many people will be inflating statistics by viewing it 100 times a day (like I do :-\) Maybe I should get on Lynx and go to W3 and send a couple billion requests and see if I get on the list!

trq Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I think a few billion requests would quickly kill there servers and have your isp after you.

Lamez Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Just include some checking statements. Check to see if they are logged in, then check to see if their browser they used last is the same browser as of now.

(If not all) of Google's percentage of traffic is non-authenticated, so it would again be a bias statistic.

Daniel0 Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 This is very interesting. PHPFreaks should make a log of the browsers that are being used, and display some statistics. GA browser stats for the last 30 days attached.
