South African Internet Map launched
The South African Internet map was launched in August, which provides an overview of the largest websites in South Africa. The SA Internet Map is available here.
Every website is a circle on the map, where the size of the circle is determined by the site’s unique South African browsers (its local readership). The more readers a website has, the bigger the circle.
The different websites are grouped into categories, where the physical size of each category on the map is based on the total traffic of the websites in that category.
The map makes use of Effective Measure statistics. Effective Measure is the official traffic measurement partner of the IAB South Africa, and provides accurate traffic statistics for South Africa’s top websites.
The website was designed by Marius Hollenbach, a multimedia specialist at MyBroadband, who got the idea from The Internet map.
Hollenbach said that he plans to add enhancements to the SA Internet Map in future, including an increase in the number of websites listed.
It should be noted that because only trusted statistics from Effective Measure were used, some large South African websites which do not run Effective Measure code do not form part of this map.
Online publishers who wish to join the IAB South Africa and Effective Measure can access their websites here: IAB South Africa / Effective Measure
