Alexa rankings<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not all local websites are registered with the DMMA and hence, not all run Effective Measure’s code. Some of the country’s largest websites are therefore not listed in the rankings in the table above.<\/p>\n

A service which helps to ascertain which websites South African users visit the most is Alexa. To rank websites Alexa trusts on statistics from their community of Alexa Toolbar users where data is collected and sent to Alexa for processing.<\/p>\n

It should be noted that Alexa only provides a rough estimate of website traffic and rank, and is not as accurate or trusted as Effective Measure’s statistics.<\/p>\n

The following table provides an overview of the most popular websites among South African Internet users who have the Alexa toolbar installed.<\/p>\n
