Top SA websites

Alexa shows that the ten most popular local websites are News24, MWeb, IOL, Standard Bank, ABSA, ZA NiC, MyBroadband, BidOrBuy, SignMeIn and WebMail.
Kudos to MyBroadband :)
 
SignMeIn? That is the page you get when you access MWeb, right? In which case, their stats are even better.

Does MyBroadband include MyAdsl?

The Alexa ratings are highly suspicious. SA-Venues being above SafariNow being a case in point

I dont think it would necessarily make mweb stats much better as all the companies in the group (mnet, mweb, dstv, news24, etc) use that safari hating authentication. Nobody's intended destination is signme in - it just redirects back to the originating site after logging in.

From looking at http://www.alexa.com/search?q=mybroadband.co.za I think mybroadband includes myadsl . . . . wouldnt stake my life on it though as there is a separate listing though it has no data.

Just tried MyADSL.co.za, and requests for MyADSL.co.za are re-routed to MyBroadband.co.za.
 
Mweb?

Is that not because their little CD ala big black box style hijacks your homepage?
Maybe Myadsl should put together an open source CD with a little "Do you want to make Myadsl your home page"?
Actually, maybe Myadsl can turn into more of a portal - with google search link, etc. etc.

Problem is that most myadsl readers are informed and don't take to that kind of marketing very well

How can they say IOL is local? When you're capped internationally you can't load the site!.

:eek:

I have never understood this fascination that people seem to have with browser home pages, but then I also don't understand the fascination that people seem to have with MWeb as an ISP - years back when I used to use MWeb for dialup [not my own choice] I found their technical support extremely lacking and yet people are prepared to pay a premium for vapour-support - it evaporates just when you need it...:rolleyes:

Yep, I stay away from sites that have little javascriptified links to change one's browser homepage! - AFAIK it's mostly still porn sites that still do that sort of thing.
 
Well done MyBroadband! kudos to RPM and all the mods and users.

BTW, how can you have anything other than google as a homepage?

Why have only one homepage - Firefox allows me to have multiple 'homepages' - I have 6 tabs that open when I hit the Home button in Firefox...:)
 
Still going strong I see!

Mybroadband.co.za traffic rank in other countries:
South Africa 23

Quick Scan says that there are only 7 .za sites ahead>

Well done!
