FireFox Browser Advances
In March of this year, FireFox browsers represented 7.1% of all visitors to our site.
Today, that number is 12.1%, a 5% increase.
Browsers that visit EzineArticles.com this month:
MS Internet Explorer: 75.9%
FireFox: 12.1%
Safari: 2.6%
Netscape: 1.1%
Opera: .7%
Of the 75.9% that is MSIE, 72.7% of them are from MSIE 6.0 and 1.2% of them are from MSIE 5.5.
Of the 12.1% that are from FireFox, 4.9% are from FireFox v1.0.7 and 2.8% are from FireFox v1.5. Folks, you really need to move to FireFox v1.5 as it rocks!
Honorable mention goes to the “Konqueror” and “Camino” speciality browsers as each were used by approximately 8000 people this month when surfing our site.
A question about this data I have is; Can you think of how a writer can take advantage of this data? Other than write articles about browsers, which might attract these folks to read our articles? I certainly find this information fascinating as it shows real-time dynamics of how the Internet is evolving. Does this information affect the 15,000 writers on this site in any way? Do we need to modify our articles? Would you say it is more relevant to the Ezine Editors who send out information? How might they consider this? Would you say this data is relevant in that most of the writers have their own websites and need to think on this with regards to their own website formatting.
