Just a little something that amused me while i was browsing through my Google Analytics.

Amount of Viewers via Safari = 8%
Users computers = 100% Windows

So unless there's a non-mac version of safari, i'm confused

That sounds strange.

I have never used Google Analytics. I normally use AWStats

8% seems awfully high for Safari. I'd suspect that "Everything Else" was defaulting to the Safari bucket.

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.

One to stay away from is 123LogAnalyzer they suck!!

I bought this software for $150 USD, never managed to get it to work, all emails to the makers bounced back, I left 10+ answer messages over a 3 week period, and even sent faxes, but never heard nothing, so lost my $150

I consider myself a 'very' small time webmaster so it doesn't bother me to much, just found it amusing lol?p.s. i'm posting this from my mobile phone using opera mini, i'd like to congratulate -boRg- on how well the forum renders on a small mobile device.

If your host has a stats program available - like AWstats - it's usually worht a look. No two stats programs count the same way though, so take em with a grain of salt.

I like AWstats because it's easy to understand. I stay away from google analytics because they collect too much info about other search bots that visit a site - how they index, search terms, etc.
