Fellow Nairalanders, finally the wait for the first webometrics ranking of Nigerian universities is almost over as the 4ICU edition of the ranking has been released. The competition got fiercer as notable trends include Unilag ousting Unilorin, and Covenant University, which is the only private university in Top 10, coming up from 8th last year to the Top 5. OAU remained calm in 2nd place and Landmark slipped out of the list to 12th (from 5th).

It's intriguing to note that 100% of the universities in my nominee list for No. 1 spot (released 2 weeks ago) made the top 5 list. Check here for that post www.nairaland.com/2071556/nigerian-universities-likely-no.1-january

Simply implies that UNN needs to step up her game. Not doing very well as the only south eastern University in Top 10.

CU steadily climbing to No. 1 proudlyhebronite

It's simple, just believe the one with a reliable source for the 2015 ranking.Here's for this ranking www.4icu.org/ng/

they just mentioned all the universities in nigeria

4icu is not from webmetrics, webometrics is yet to release their 2015 list.
webometrics.info is their site

see lemmie tell you some thing. all these lists started from one single person who decided to make a fake list. and with the copy-and-paste-without-confirming-the-source nature of nigerians, it just went viral. even the NUC ranking that was going on last year, was denied by the NUC that they never release yearly ranking of universities. its mostly lies spread by people who want to cause controversy. and op, this list isnt from webometrics. its from 41cu. dont get them mixed up

waiting patiently for webometrics rankings...OAU can never be 2nd, the list should start with OAU as first, then others can follow

As a matter of fact I never said the ranking was from the organization "Webometrics". I said that the ranking is based on webometrics. The word "webometrics" is used to refer to the collection of data (mostly from major search engines) used for sorting out and monitoring the activities of organizations on the Web. 4icu and "Webometrics ranking of world universities" simply use this platform for their rankings.

Here's an excerpt from 4icu's website regarding their methodology. You could check this link for more details http://www.4icu.org/about/

.................
Universities and Colleges are ranked by our exclusive 4icu.org University Web Ranking. The ranking has been published since May 2005. Since then the ranking methodology has been periodically fine-tuned in order to provide better results.

The current ranking is based upon an algorithm including five unbiased and independent web metrics extracted from three different search engines:
Google Page Rank
Alexa Traffic Rank
Majestic Seo Referring Domains
Majestic Seo Citation Flow
Majestic Seo Trust Flow

Sometimes you need to do some research before you start spewing stuff on threads like this. Webometrics is a method of ranking that 4icu uses. It's just coincidental that it doubles as an organization's name

well am sorry but to me, webometrics is more prestigious than 4icu.
for example, statistics gotten from alexa.com is just the amount of visits the university's website gets per day. and this just depends on the amount of students in the school who actually visit their schools websites. www.webometrics.info doesnt use websites like alexa because they are very misleading
