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.
Following is a report showing Internet Trends for 2008. It has been extracted
from the justweb 2008 statistical analysis report, and draws from the systems of
over 160,000 unique visitors. It gives a reasonably good indication of operating
system and browser usage, as well as some other details.
justweb is hosted on an Australian server, and attracted visitors from
over 100
countries and territories in the year 2008.
In summary, here is our list of the most popular:
Internet Web Browser: Microsoft Internet Explorer 70.31% (76.89% in 2007)
Operating System: Windows 92.36 % (94.07% in 2007)
Screen Resolution: 1024x768 35.52% (45.98% in 2007)
Browser/ OS Combination: Internet Explorer & Windows 70.30% (76.82% in 2007)
Flash Version: 9.0 r1.24
Java Supported: 97.19& (99.17% in 2007)
Most Popular Country of Origin: Australia 73.5% (76.4% in 2007)
Total Unique Visits
162,613 Unique Visits in 2008 (up 62% on 2007 period)
Comment:
Internet Explorer is still winning the browser "war", however it has lost ground
to Firefox, as well as the Mac OS browsers as Mac becomes more popular.
Comment:
Again, Macs are increasing in popularity. Perhaps driven much by the less than
competent
Vista OS, as well as by a strong and steady marketing campaign. iPhone now makes
an appearance, albeit a minor one.
Top Ten Operating System/Browser Combinations
Browser/Operating System | Visits | % of visits
1. Internet Explorer / Windows 114,316 | 70.30%
2. Firefox / Windows | 33,506 | 20.60%
3. Safari / Macintosh | 6,336 | 3.90%
4. Firefox / Macintosh | 3,801 | 2.34%
5. Opera / Windows | 1,186 | 0.73%
6. Firefox / Linux | 803 |0.49%
7. Chrome / Windows | 669 | 0.41%
8. Konqueror / Linux | 531 | 0.33%
9. Mozilla / Linux | 355 | 0.22%
10. Safari / Windows | 267 | 0.16%
Comment: Macintosh is gaining ground here too of course, and Google's new
browser "Chrome" now shows up in stats.
Comment: Even though the old 800x600 makes up a mere 3.49% of traffic, it is
still worth noting this represents over five and a half thousand visits to our
site. Certainly not a user base we should ignore - but we have. The stats for
2009 will show an even greater decline in this out of date screen resolution. It
is also noteworthy the prevalence of widescreen monitors.
Comment: It would be fair to assume that the majority of "Unknown" connections types are
broadband of some description. The drop in dialup connections from 2007 to 2008
is huge.
