Web Authoring Tools Report
July 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 June survey is based on a sample size of 6,353,425 pages downloaded from 852,814 sites. We detected authoring tool usage on 239,518 sites (28.09% of all sites visited).
