[Browser Stats] Browsers on our blog

We've always believed that the traffic to the Cleartrip Blog is significantly different from the traffic to Cleartrip.com. We decided to dig into the details and here's what we found about the browsers that visit our blog:

BrowserPercentage of visits
Internet Explorer 643.19%
Firefox29.36%
Internet Explorer 713.45%
Safari6.07%
Opera1.43%
Internet Explorer 51.13%

The ghastly Internet Explorer does not enjoy the level of dominance it has on Cleartrip.com. Visitors to the blog are using better browsers--Firefox, Safari & Opera

What can we conclude here? That people who read blogs use better browsers?

That improve the positioning of the blog link on your main page so that non geeks can also sight it :)

Reading blogs (especially company blogs) is a very computer-centric activity. People who do that are less willing to accept default tools.

I'd kind of expected you to have a higher FF percentage. But seriously... people still use IE5? And read blogs on it? That's just twisted. :D

You should also try to find the amount of time they spend on your blogs. 80% of IE hits may be accidental. The combined stats will be more interesting.

Users might be reading blogs on firefox and using it for transaction because Cleartrip flights doesn't show any results in firefox. This could be one reason. And if they have now started working then interesting to know range of dates vs percentage.

Any chance you could look into visits from mobile browsers? Opera Mini, iphone's safari?

Sagar--the mobile browsers do show up in our reports, but currently their share is miniscule, so they don't show up in comparisons such as the one above.

Sandy, I've never had a problem using Cleartrip flights with Firefox.
