I'll have to start looking at other things such as Indexed pages and maybe someway of determining member numbersafricanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17833957924636040888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2354646624652823457.post-34148295464791792862006-11-25T00:22:00.000-08:002006-11-25T00:22:00.000-08:00Nice idea to rank everything. I agree with comment...Nice idea to rank everything. I agree with comment above. Alexa, as I understand it, takes submissions from people with the Alexa toolbar installed. For that and other reasons, it's going to be horribly biased against Africa. <br /><br />I wonder about tools like http://www.muti.co.za/ ? Traffic looks small but an African Reddit is something we all need.<br /><br />If you want to go completely corporate in terms of South African sites (not necessarily web 2.0 stuff) - have a look at that crappy you-scratch-my-back-I'll-comb-yours organisation called the OPA... think the link is http://www.opa.org.za/Andy Hadfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00887844054562829807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2354646624652823457.post-62955782011471425802006-11-25T00:20:00.000-08:002006-11-25T00:20:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Andy Hadfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00887844054562829807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2354646624652823457.post-64534347508989868262006-11-24T23:15:00.000-08:002006-11-24T23:15:00.000-08:00Interesting analysis; however, all the web metrics...Interesting analysis; however, all the web metrics available are biased against the sites you've analyzed, in fact any african-themed site for that matter.
