Web Authoring Tools Report
May 1st, 2002

The following tables illustrates the usage of web authoring tools on the web. The tool is determined by examining the web page meta tag 'generator'. Readers are cautioned that not all authoring packages insert their name in this meta tag, and as such may not be picked up in this survey.

The April survey is based on a sample size of 6,784,994 pages downloaded from 923,862 sites. We detected authoring tool usage on 265,950 sites (28.79% of all sites visited).
