2007-2008 Browser, Search Engines, Operating Systems Web Market Share
I subscribe to WebMarketingNow.com's SEO Review. If you don't already have a high quality newsletter subscription, that adds tremendous value to your SEO research, I suggest you enroll (that is if Jerry is taking on any more subscribers).
I won't just paste the entire review...wouldn't be cool, but I'll share a couple of public numbers that will knock your socks off. The full newsletter includes things to watch for, helpful insights and a slew of other reports very necessary to any SEO firm/expert.
Take a peek at a few figures of these latest trends.
IE still strong, Mac making a run and Google owns 58% of the market plus.
