Blog Research update
By maurizio | August 7, 2007
During the last weeks I was busy updating the code of my application because I was filling the database with too many duplicates. I had to delete all the datas I got and start again.
Luckily I already surpassed my previous amount of information about blogs. Now I have 22626 sites registered with the <meta name=generator > html tag. (last month I had 15816).
Of those sites I have:
Wordpress: 8010 (5685 last month)
Blogger: 11259 (7070)
Typepad: 1165 (1563)
Movabletype: 88 (460)
Note that they are not definitive numbers; for example Typepad shows less users than last month, maybe because I am just reading sites that are not using it. I’m sure that numbers will be different once I finish to read all the sites I have.
Right now I’m using SQL queries like:
select count(*) from [Datatable] where type=[meta-generator] and value like ‘%wordpress%’;
I have datas about feedburner too, but I have just 2500 users there, so I don’t know how much useful it will be. Anyway I’m planning to post about it.

Great site, I just saw another data search that showed Wordpress as the most used blog site, however I’ve been told that if you use wordpress to use your own server. Typepad wasn’t too far behind and then feedburner and i don’t remember even seeing Blogger on the list.
