Biggest websites in SA

Wish they would remove websites that weren't started in SA (e.g. MSN, Hotmail) and list only South African sites!

Hi Darkstreet

This is a tricky issue…difficult to start debating what constitutes a local/South African website. Many different variables may be taken into account, including where it is hosted, who owns it and the like.

This is therefore basically a list of OPA registered websites. Definitely not complete, but at least some guideline as to which sites in SA are the largest.

How many of those MSN hits is due to MSN being the default homepage on IE and people just don't change it.

Thanks, rpm, I understand where you are coming from.
 
yeah, we keep on having the same issues around stats. msn = default for ie, not all sites have nielsen (no google sites) etc.

+1

The MSN, Hotmail and Webmail statistics say a lot about the internet maturity of South Africans.

Happy to see MyBB on the list :D
 
News24.co.za used to be 2,878,260

... but I quit going there. :mad:

It's virtual death is imminent due to the lack of my presence.
 
Then the MyBB community can pull some weight. If we all decided to boycott a certain ISP etc it would be a heavy punch. So if we get organized we can dictate the market :)

Okay so I can add my name to your move to "imminence".

I get all my news from that posted in the forums :p
 
MSN is # 2, I never go there besides of when as you guys have said the browser I am using, IE 6, defaults to it, we better move people to Mozilla for a real stat since Google is not a site and its default on FF
