Web Authoring Tools Report
October 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 September survey is based on a sample size of 14,605,543 pages downloaded from 1,637,556 sites. We detected authoring tool usage on 309,466 sites (18.90% of all sites visited).
