Hmm well is there any Nigerian blog as popular as any of these?

wow, NL is there, nice. no blogs? so aint no popular naija blogger out there then.

Any good programmer can manipulate the traffic to their web pages.

This is not reliable data.

The most popular Nigerian blog is Sokari Ekine's Black Looks http://www.blacklooks.org

Orikinla:

The most popular Nigerian blog is Sokari Ekine's Black Looks http://www.blacklooks.org

Yeah but is it anywhere near any of these sites listed above?

No.
But Black Looks is ranked about 8,000 out of over 45 million blogs.

I see. Thanks for the info.

Orikinla:

The most popular Nigerian blog is Sokari Ekine's Black Looks http://www.blacklooks.org

I don't think so. Deolu Akinyemi's blog, Emmanuel Oluwatosin's blog and Kayode Muyibi's blog are more popular.

www.deoluakinyemi.com
www.yemma.com.ng
www.kayodemuyibi.com

I can't believe the popularity of Deolu Akinyemi's site. He's a magician. Wow, I've got to congratulate him!

I repeat that Black Looks is the most popular Nigerian blog.

If you want to prove otherwise, do so with proof. And I don't have time to argue.

I'm not here to argue either. You know where you got these stats below:

Go there and check the websites I gave you and compare them with Blacklooks.

Traffic rank for Blacklooks.org: 3,467,664

Traffic rank for Deoluakinyemi.com: 452,335
Traffic rank for yemma.com.ng: 2,081,517
Traffic rank for kayodemuyibi.com: 2,210,674

Even if we are not going to rely on these stats as accurately accurate, the gaps are wide enough to prove it.

My brother, if I use your yardstick, then my Nigerian Times, Kisses & Roses and BoggyWoggy are more popular than yemma.com.ng: 2,081,517
Traffic rank for kayodemuyibi.com: 2,210,674.

Use Technorati.

Guys we don't need to argue about this because we know fully well how many site owners "buy traffic" in order to boost their ranking. I would rather that we use other  parameters too. After all, Google and Alexa do not use the same parameter to measure or determine website rank.

For example our Nairaland, does not buy traffic and yet it is more visited or 'popular' by Alexa Rank than THE PUNCH. Can we then conclude that our Nairaland is more popular than The Punch in Nigeria? Nay.

Orikinla, Technorati does not measure traffic.
Technorati measures the number of blogs that link/reference to a blog so that's just within the blogosphere, we are talking of popularity to the whole of the internet. Alexa measures the real traffic because not all visitors can link/reference, a greater number of people just read.

So we can say Blacklooks is the most popular Nigerian blog in the blogosphere but not on the world wide web.

Okay. So, my Nigerian Times is great to have become so popular since June 2005 to date!
Then my Nigerian Times is the second most popular Nigerian blog?
I thank God!

Orikinla:

Well if Technorati says so, then Yes! And congrats for that! But always remember to put "in the blogosphere". . .

Deolu AKinyemi's site is definitely the most popular standalone Nigerian blog. It's because it has a Job section.

Have you guys ever wondered how Alexa ranks websites? According to this link, http://alexa.com/site/help/?index=12, it is based on usage patterns of users who have installed the Alexa toolbar on their computers. Now, my question is: how many of you have the Alexa toolbar installed? The morale of the story: you would improve Alexa's ratings and probably nairaland's ranking if you go download the Alexa toolbar at http://download.alexa.com/ now

Bioye,
You are right.

Nigerian blogs and their ranks - huh?

Well, mine is:

Traffic rank for Davidajao.com: 559,928 (Oct 27th, 2006)

So, what are you guys talking about?

Traffic rank for Blacklooks.org: 3,467,664
Traffic rank for Deoluakinyemi.com: 452,335
Traffic rank for yemma.com.ng: 2,081,517
Traffic rank for kayodemuyibi.com: 2,210,674

Well done!
How are you using your ranking for the benefit your website?
I am talking about SEO.

Interesting info about metrics market. But how accurate is it?

At Traffic Estimate, it says I had 70,235,000 visits in the last 30 days.  How true it this?

That's for .com

I thought as much too, because Orikinla's blog has the same number of visits too.
