April: Record Traffic!
Wednesday, April 30, 2003 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize News
We broke January's record for a record number of *unique* individuals visiting WinCustomize.com this month.
Despite there being only 30 days in April, over 100,000 more unique individuals visited WinCustomize in April than in January bringing the total well over 1.3 million uniques this month.
The lion's share of the referrals came from Stardock.
But one new trend: Deskmod.com became the #1 skin site in referrals to WinCustomize (thank you very much Deskmod).
In terms of browsers, after a brief resurgence in third party browsers, Microsoft's hold on the browser wars returned to an all time high at 87%.
Windows 2000 and XP users now make up 82% of the visitors. Windows 98|ME make up another 12%. We also had 61 visitors who were using OS/2! Way to go OS/2!
They beat out the 8 Amiga visitors. 
As for non USA visitors, Japan led the way followed by Canada, and then France. We'd also like to welcome the 32 visitors from Tonga and the 34 visitors from Fiji.

where are all the linux users???
I think I sent over a few Mac users... as a suggestion to increase you design capabilities, try the world of skinning.
as for the browser wars, I think skinning is what makes the new browsers appealing.
I LOVE Netscape's browser. Especially since I am writing articals and posting links soon on my website, it exports your favorites links into a web based page.
All I have to do is put it on my web site.
BUT it doesn't run to well on older computers; because of the Ram requirements 64 or better (128 is recommended)
Believe me, if they recommend 128 but it will run on 64, they mean it needs 128 and don't bother trying it on 64.
