Copywriting
A good copywriter knows which words
trigger the feelings that compel people to make decisions. They write with
flair, making it easy for people to be drawn into what they are saying about
your business, services or products - see professional copywriting,
and an example of good copywriting for a
Mercedes Dealer, or not-so-good copy for a Used Mercedes dealer.
The justweb™ traffic statistical analysis for the first half of 2009 is now
available.
In the months January through to June (2009), justweb™
attracted 94,005 unique visitors, compared to the same period in 2008 (January through June) in which
there were 80,209 unique visitors - an increase of just over 17%.
As a result of this level of traffic, certain internet trends become apparent - such as the
popularity of different types of operating systems, browsers, screen resolutions
(screen size), and the countries of origin of visitors.

Internet Explorer is still the most popular browser by far. However, because
this will be phased out in the not too distant future (it has already been
removed from European Windows 7 operating systems), no doubt IE's market share
will drop considerably. Firefox continues to gain ground, and this will increase
as people look for a replacement browser. Safari use has increased as well,
which is of course due to the increased usage of Macs.
Also of interest is that more than a quarter of visitors still use
Internet Explorer 6 version browser. Thankfully, that means about 75% of people have upgraded, and
this figure will no doubt increase, pushed along by reports that sites such as YouTube and DIGG will discontinue support for version 6.
Comments
Windows is still the clear winner, and will be for the foreseeable future.
Macintosh has increased its share, and a notable addition to the list is iPhone
- even if it is only 0.28% of the total traffic. It is interesting to note that
only around 400 visits originated from mobile device platforms such as
iPhone, Danger Hiptop, iPod, Symbian, etc. That represents approximately 0.42%
of the total traffic.
1. Internet Explorer / Windows 60,308 64.15%
2. Firefox / Windows 22,749 24.20%
3. Safari / Macintosh 3,951 4.20%
4. Firefox / Macintosh 2,362 2.51%
5. Chrome / Windows 1,934 2.06%
6. Opera / Windows 765 0.81%
7. Firefox / Linux 565 0.60%
8. Mozilla / Linux 282 0.30%
9. Safari / iPhone 260 0.28%
10. Safari / Windows 232 0.25%
Comments
Notable here is the number of people who choose to use the standard Mac browser
(Safari) over what I think to be a far better and more functional piece of
software - Firefox.

Looking at the above screen resolutions, it is clear many people use Laptops or
Notebook computers. Also, even now, there are still people using the old 800x600
screen resolution - at only 2.24%, it doesn't sound like much to worry about, but
that equates to a little over 2000 visitors over 6 months - that's quite a lot
of people.
Comments
Again, 6.42% of people don't appear to have Java enabled, but this represents
just over 6,000 visitors. If your site relies on Java to run, or you don't have
some sort of redundancy (non-Java compatibility) and you get a lot of traffic,
you are missing out on a lot of potential customers.

Who says dialup is dead? Almost 3,000 visitors say "no it isn't"! And even more if
some in the "Unknown" category include dialup connections. When over 60% of your
visitors' connections are "unknown", it is a little hard to draw conclusions as
to which is more popular - (A)DSL or Cable. But what is clear, if you have a
high traffic website, thousands of people accessing your website will still be
using a dialup connection.
