Web Authoring Tools Report
September 1st, 2006

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 August survey is based on a sample size of 17,688,893 pages downloaded from 1,777,106 sites. We detected authoring tool usage on 317,311 sites (17.86% of all sites visited).
