According to a recent report, the tools people use to manage their sites are becoming more intermingled all the time.

Factual did a quick rundown showing the rough numbers for how people use tools on the web:

28% of websites have Google Analytics –- pretty impressive, while 12% of the sites have AdSense.  (Side note: we’re using the count of GetContentResults=Http-200 for the denominator, since it’s not fair to count the sites that CommonCrawl was unable to get content from.)

5% of websites have a Twitter link and 5% have a Facebook URL, yet only 2% have both a Twitter and a Facebook URL.  It’ll be interesting to see how this changes over time.

The top five versions of Apache discovered are 2.2.11 (210,984 instances), 2.2.3 (200,065 instances), 1.3.41 (168,660 instances), 2.2.14 (166,644), and 2.0.52 (97,004 instances).

Factual used data from Common Crawl to present their data, which includes a nifty chart:
