This year Internet Explorer and Firefox have the same market share and account for over 92% of the users visiting my blog, Chrome, Safari, and Opera tied for second place and accounted for 6% of my traffic this year. The majority of people find my site via organic search results through Google, the second most influential source of traffic was people directly linking to my blog, which actually fell from 8.38% to 6.99%. Digg.com last year was on my list, but totally fell off this year, probably because of their focus on becoming more news site and less geeky, however I am happy to report that DotnetKicks.com however rose from 2.37% last year to 4.68% of my traffic this year.
