The <a title=\"South African Internet Map\" href=\"http:\/\/www.sainternetmap.co.za\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>SA Internet Map is available here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Every website is a circle on the map, where the size of the circle is determined by the site\u2019s unique South African browsers (its local readership). The more readers a website has, the bigger the circle.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;s top websites.<\/p>\n<p>The website was designed by Marius Hollenbach, a multimedia specialist at MyBroadband, who got the idea from <strong><a title=\"Internet map\" href=\"http:\/\/internet-map.net\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Internet map<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hollenbach said that he plans to add enhancements to the SA Internet Map in future, including an increase in the number of websites listed.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Online publishers who wish to join the IAB South Africa and Effective Measure can access their websites here: <a title=\"IAB South Africa\" href=\"http:\/\/www.iabsa.net\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>IAB South Africa<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0\/\u00a0<a title=\"Effective Measure\" href=\"http:\/\/www.effectivemeasure.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Effective Measure<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">More on South Africa&#8217;s Internet<\/h3>\n<p><a title=\"South Africa\u2019s website kings\" href=\"http:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/internet\/105427-south-africas-website-kings.html\"><strong>South Africa\u2019s website kings<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #263034;\"><a style=\"color: #0066cb;\" title=\"Here is what South Africa\u2019s Internet looks like\" href=\"http:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/internet\/85457-here-is-what-south-africas-internet-looks-like.html\">Here is what South Africa\u2019s Internet looks like<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The South African Internet Map provides an overview of the largest websites in South Africa, based on statistics from Effective Measure<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":103731,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[679,35,24620,25405,26396,26394],"class_list":["post-108202","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-internet","tag-effective-measure","tag-headline","tag-iab-sa","tag-iab-south-africa","tag-marius-hollenbach","tag-south-african-internet-map"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108202"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/23"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=108202"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108202\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":108222,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108202\/revisions\/108222"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/103731"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=108202"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=108202"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=108202"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
