As a follow-up from my last post here are some more visitor statistics courtesy of Google Analytics. These are for sandfly.net.nz as a whole, not just this blog.
Last year I got nearly 18000 visits from over 4000 cities (not all appear on this map) in 128 countries. The top 5 cities are Auckland (with over 2000 visits), then London, Wellington, New York and Bangalore(!) It seems like the cities with a strong C++ development culture are better represented, but that is somewhat of a guess.
These graphs show what browsers and operating systems people are using. Windows is still the most used OS at 58% but MacOSX is doing alright with 29% (Linux does 10%). This probably reflects the techie slant in the subjects I write about.
44% of my visitors use Firefox (which is what I use most of the time), but it is a three horse race for runner up between Safari (19%), IE (18%), and Chrome (13%). Chrome seems to be picking up in recent months so this graph might look quite different next year. A lot of people profess hatred for Safari, but it seems to be holding its market share (only on MacOSX though, hardly anyone uses the Windows version.) The really good news is only 2.6% of visits last year came from IE6 – the sooner that browser dies the better.
I wonder the same graphs would look like for other comparable sites.
