Languages


Here is yet another pic which shows what languages are used when www.interfacebus.com is accessed. The chart shows the first 10 languages, but there are another 157 in total. The remaining 147 countries would be part of the 8.24% of the chart. 75% of incoming hits are from the US, while another 2.81% are from other English speaking countries.
The hits are from Jan 1 to May 24 2007

Web Site Entry Page


I was looking at one of the statistics for Entry pages to interfacebus and noticed something strange. A number of pages that show obsolete interfaces still rank high for numbers of people hitting those pages as they enter the web site. The data is for May:
IDE Bus = 3217 [5th highest], replaced by SATA
AGP = 1064 [20th], replaced by PCIe
PC Parallel Port = 897 [30th], replaced by USB
Floppy Drive = 721, replaced by Flash drives

RS232 is another, which has been removed from PCs altogether.

This is just a few, there are 1150 entry pages in the list

Web Broswer


Staying with the last post, here is a listing of web browsers that are hitting interfacebus.com, from Jan 1 to May 10 2007. Most people use some version of IE for 70% of the hits. However 24% use Firefox which seems to be about the standard percentage for the last few years. I guess Firefox stooped gaining ground. Mozilla and Netscape are really just older versions of the Firefox engine. I don't recall what Safari is. Opera has been around for a while, and went completely free about two years ago.....

Software Operating Systems


I figured I would post a few charts showing what type of systems are being used to access interfacebus.com. The graphic attached to this posting depicts what type of operating system people use to access the web site. Windows tops the list at 95%, followed by Linux at 2%. I assume that most people running Unix are in a Windows Terminal, which would explain why SunOS and Unix don't really register in the chart. The chart covers Jan 1 to May 10 2007

Web Site Update Rate


I started adding a Google search bar to more pages on the web site and I noticed that by picking the pages that have not been updated in a while, just happened to be back in 11/11/06. Six months to cycle over pages in the web site. But with 1346 pages on the web site it's understandable. Of course some of these pages just contain pinouts or descriptions of older interface buses ~ facts that don't change. On the reverse, some pages on the site get updated time and again, as I add more data or correct the listings.

Any how, the search bar may help new visitors navigate the site. The attached pic shows how people find interfacebus.com, with 6% coming in as returning visitors. The numbers on the pie chart represent Apr 10 to May 10 2007. For a total of 200,914 visits over the last month.
