Hi, i am not sure if i am posting this in the right section, so apologies if not…
Has anyone seen or know where i could get a percentage figure for overall sites that are now being viewed on a mobile device. I guess this is the same as asking, how many users use the internet, and then how many of them are accessing the interent via their mobile device, and how often…
I know this information is available for a single site using Google Analytics, but what about a % breakdown for the overall internet. I’d imagine the % is constantly increasing, however does anyone know the exact figure… thanks in advance for your help…
It’s hard to quantify the accuracy. StatCounter can only capture statistics from sites that use their analytics, but they claim to have stats coming in from 3 million sites. It would be as if Google Analytics published aggregate stats of all the sites using GA. It’s only a sampling, but the sample size seems big enough and diverse enough. Also, other independent sources seem to have similar numbers. Market Share pegs mobile vs desktop at 91% vs 9%.
EDIT: But also keep in mind that these are averages. The numbers will vary, perhaps significantly, from one site to another. For example, I suspect Facebook gets much more mobile traffic than does Amazon.
Yeah that is a good argument… thanks for providing this info… i read that mobile is supposed to pass out desktop by 2014 - can’t see that happening based on those stats
Unless you are a statistician, it is totally irrelevant what the mobile percentage is for the entire net. All that counts, is what the mobile use is in the target group. This can be found from Google analytics.
Good point… was just curious as i read an article that the mobile percentage split will surpass the desktop percentage by 2014 - which i can’t see happening…
I don’t understand this… it couldn’t be possible that 400k iphones are sold a day… if that was the case, everyone in the world (7 billion) would have an iphone in no time…
