IMHO, the only numbers that count are those from my clients' logs.  Not
only is that where my revenue stream comes from, but I can get up close
and personal with the raw data.  Who knows how those "industry average"
statistics are generated?

Remembering that your clients' numbers will be different, most likely
due to target demographics, for the client sites I maintain, the
September number is 9.71%.  Including all unknown, "legacy" and WebTV
(ack!) browsers, it was 11.97%.

Over the past two years, industry average figures consistently run about
half of what I see at my clients' sites.  The most recent figure I've
seen bandied about, 5%, is in line with my experience.

Remember:  Your mileage may vary.

Yours,
