Your internet browser is the tool that lets you see the web, it reads the website code and turns it into a visual layout of content and media. It is important to understand who is visiting your website and what browser they use.
My website has the following visitor statistics:
A website which serves businesses with advice and information has the following visitor statistics:
- Internet Explorer 88.24%
- Firefox 11.76%
A website geared towards music and band gigs receives the following:
- Internet Explorer 67.74%
- Firefox 25.81%
- Safari 4.84%
- Chrome 1.61%
So there are currently five main players in the web browser market, if you look at the same website within all of the above internet browsers I would expect to see some variations in layout and design. If a website is coded correctly and confirms to the W3C standards, it should display correctly across all internet browsers. Although some variations still occur and the large browsers like IE try to define how they think internet coding should develop. In the past IE has tried to bend how online website coding should be created, only with the objective to better suit their Internet browsing product.
Many cheap, low budget websites and developers still do not produce code correctly. Then later down the line you find out for the past year of your websites existence a percentage of your customers viewed a messy layout when they arrived at your website. I would expect those customers to lose trust in your organisation and not return again.
The other side of Internet Browsers are the ones specifically created for people with visual impairments, or other disabilities which cause them to not use a standard internet browser. You have to be careful in this day and age, just as much as a open business to the public should have wheelchair access. The same applies to a website, the RNIB have taken strong action in the past to make examples of organisations who do not conform with the Disability Discrimination Act online.

"In the past, the only way to view these documents was to download them and open them in a separate viewer application," says Google. "To provide an alternative, we made it possible to quickly and easily view these files as HTML right in a web browser by clicking 'View as HTML.' This was an improvement, but unfortunately the 'View as HTML' option loses some of the formatting from the original PDF, such as graphics, tables, fonts and other elements."
The new links are based on the same technology that is used by Google Docs and Gmail. Google says they've actually been rolling out the feature in search results since July, and now they have more than half of the PDFs in their index available this way.

Online ad spending has been fortunate in the economic downturn—recession-resistant due to its high level of accountability, Internet ad revenue growth has remained positive as spending in all other media dropped.
In the UK, the effect has been so dramatic that online took the biggest slice of advertising revenues in the first half of 2009.
US online ad spending revenues were down 5.3% year over year, to $10.9 billion in the first half of 2009, according to figures from the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) and PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC).
“While our preliminary estimates point to another decline in the year’s second half, expect that to be less than the first half’s 5.3% drop,” said David Hallerman, eMarketer senior analyst.
On the positive growth side, search spending was up to reach 47% of the total online spend. And online video ad spending. though still small in absolute terms, was up 38%.
