Can You Trust BuiltWith, W3Techs and Software Usage Statistics?
The Drupal Association put out a press release today, quoting some statistics about Drupal.
The press release said:
According to Drupal.org stats, Drupal now powers more than 1 million websites.
According to Builtwith Research, Drupal powers more than 12% of the world’s top 100,000 websites.
I regularly see stats like this fly around the web, particularly on Twitter.
So, I decided to use these Drupal stats as an example and answer the question: "Can you trust software usage statistics?"
