Excellent work Mel. Much, much better. I reckon this will get you another 1% market share alone!

Now try it! Do you see anything different?

Thanks Mel. I know you’re fighting the cause inside Microsoft.

I use Statcounter btw, simple but effective for my needs.

It has been flagged – Jon are you using adCenter Analytics?!

You should see some improvements in the coming months. We recognise that we should nail these kind of results in the UK.

Thanks for bringing it up and do keep sending me examples via my blog!

Doesn’t look like any of the other examples you cited in your post have changed. Not very encouraging.

I’m with you – It’s depressing to see.

I flagged a load of similar results back in January –

Much the same complaints. Come on Microsoft, you can do better than this.

Judging by the number of visits I’ve had to this post from Redmond, Mel has already flagged it!
