We already know that WordPress powers about 19% of the web and 48 of the top 100 blogs, and now Joost de Valk has taken that a step further with this amazing infographic.
Some cool stats worth mentioning: WordPress powers 72.4 million websites as of March 2012 with half of those being on WordPress.com, an estimated 20 – 25% of new websites published in 2011 were built using WordPress, WordPress powers 22 of every 100 new domains created in the US, and WordPress corners 53.8% of the market when compared to other content management systems.
The infographic is definitely worth a quick look through, and perhaps even framing and hanging on a prominent wall in your main room.
WordPress is great proof of how open source platform can be the best among many paid alternatives as well as you don’t need a huge budget to promote your product or service if your service/service is the best in the market.
