I always forget what the difference is, so I always go back to this same wikipedia page to remind me of the differences: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_web_browsers#Dif... You can click around on each source, and they have an explanation of how each source get their numbers and adjust them. It's very insightful to understand the differences in measurement. For example: > StatCounter statistics are directly derived from hits (not unique visitors) from 3 million sites using StatCounter totaling more than 15 billion hits per month.[17] No weightings are used. > Net Applications bases its usage share on statistics from 40,000 websites having around 160 million unique visitors per month. The mean site has 1300 unique visitors per day.
On 1 August 2009, Net Applications began weighting its raw data based on the number of internet users in the countries concerned, using data from the CIA ; the changes were applied retroactively to older data. |
