WordPress Stats

Ever wondered how may WordPress sites there are – try 15m+

“This is a collection of stats from around WordPress that we’ve decided to share with the world because there’s no good reason not to.

There are over 15 million WordPress publishers: 6 million blogs hosted on WordPress.com plus 9 million active installations of the WordPress.org software.

The following numbers are for WordPress.com hosted blogs only – they do not count self-hosted WordPress.org blogs (because we can measure WordPress.com blogs using our own stats system, whereas self-hosted WordPress installations use a variety of their own systems to track their stats).”

Go here for the graphs and more detail.

Including these “WordPress.com  gets about 200 million visitors per month.”

“What are some of the best known WordPress sites (both WordPress.com and WordPress.org based)?
From TechCrunch to The New York Times and the British Prime Minister, WordPress users span a broad range. Many of the Technorati Top 100 blogs use WordPress (as a matter of fact, WordPress is the most used platform among the T100). We showcase some leading WordPress sites here and here. And here are the top WordPress.com blogs of the moment.”
