Web Authoring Tools Report
July 1st, 2004

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 10,445,472 pages downloaded from 1,207,996 sites. We detected authoring tool usage on 243,532 sites (20.16% of all sites visited).
