Today I decided to take a look at the browser stats for two of my blogs. I always like to know exactly witch browsers are used to visit my sites in order to better optimize them especially since different blogs get diverse traffic.
I looked at stats for this blog “Deliriumpropaganda” and was surprised to notice that Firefox is the browser of choice for around 70% of my visitors, for some reason I never expected it to be this high. Another not so good surprise was that not even one person used Opera, my favorite browser, to visit my blog. Bellow is a graph with Browser percentages for this blog.
On my second blog www.amar-ela.com stats are totally different. The biggest difference is that IE accounts for 86% of all browser users. Second and surprisingly enough, Opera comes in third with 0.74% of all users and even Konqueror makes an appearance with 0.03%.
From analyzing these two graphs we can understand that Browsers vary depending on the sites topic. This blog is mostly about Internet and computer related subjects that habitually only interest people who already have some software knowledge so feel more confident to opt for other Browsers. Whilst on my other blog, consisting of an audience comprised of older men and woman with generally little computer knowledge, stats show that the default IE browser is more popular. So why is this information so important? Simple 
!!! The information is important because it helps us determine for which Browser we should optimize a site.
