Top Ten Most Visited Websites In Nigeria. See Nairaland's Position by valicious1(m): 6:13pm On Jun 16, 2015 |
Any company or organisation that does not have a website or, at the very least some level of online presence, in today’s highly-connected world has virtually no chance of making it on a global scale. information company Alexa provides global web metrics and allows visitors to search for competitive website analysis, benchmarking, market research and trending topics. Using Alexa’s analytics, ITNewsAfrica reviewed the most visited websites in Nigeria. Webpages such as Facebook, Yahoo and YouTube would inevitably appear in a list of this nature, but ITNewsAfrica purposefully set out to investigage which Nigerian-specific websites were the most visited in the country – websites that make use of .ng (dot ng) or that have local content. 1 Like 1 Share |

1. Google.com.ng To no surprise, the most visited Nigerian website is the country’s localised version of the hugely popular Google search engine. Google has made a point of rolling out localised websites for almost all countries where they have a presence, as it provides users with local information first before displaying international results. According to Alexa, the website is also the second most visited site in Nigeria, just after parent website Google.com. On a global scale, the Nigerian version ranks 233 and according to Alexa, “the rank is calculated using a combination of average daily visitors to this site and pageviews on this site over the past 3 months.” 96.3% of the site’s visitors are from Nigeria, while 0.6% reside in India. 2. Nairaland – The Nigerian Forum Started by Seun Osewa in 2005, the online community targets Nigerians and boasts 1,068,800 registered accounts, with 35 million monthly page views. According to Alexa, the website also recently overtook South Africa’s News24 website in terms of traffic, to become the most visited website in Africa. While it heavily targets native Nigerians, only 65% of its traffic originates from the country, while 7.1% comes from India and 5.6% comes from the US. The site has on average 5 pageviews per visitor and visitors spend around 7 minutes browsing through all the pages. A large percentage of the traffic to Nairaland is generated through Google and Google.com.ng, with links from Facebook and Yahoo also providing an entry point. 3. Vanguard News Nigeria’s most popular online news source, the website is akin to South Africa’s News24 and was started by veteran journalist Sam Amuka-Pemu and three friends when they founded Vanguard Media in 1983. An extension of the printed newspaper, Vanguard is widely regarded as one of the few news sources that is considered independent of political control. Vanguard News has over 700 000 Facebook likes and regularly post articles feature in the newspaper and online. The website is ranked tenth out of all the most popular websites in Nigeria, with 1,365,171 daily pageviews and 325,505 daily unique visitors, according to Alexa.

The Punch newspaper was founded by James Aboderin, an accountant and Sam Amuka, a columnist and editor at the Daily Times, in 1971.

The site attracts a large percentage of its traffic from Nigeria, and according to Alexa, visitors spend over eight minutes browsing news articles, while visiting over four pages per visit. It has a global rank of 2 266, and of all the popular pages in Nigeria, it is ranked as the 12th most visited. 5. Linda Ikeji’s blog Entrepreneur and blogger Linda Ikeji, a former model, created a blog to write about Nigeria’s news, events, entertainment, lifestyle, fashion and beauty. Predominantly focusing on news and gossip stemming from Nigeria, the website also covers international trends and fashion. With over 80% of the site’s traffic coming from Nigeria, it also generates some traffic from the US, Ghana and Kenya. Daily pageviews per visitor is just under three pages, while visitor spend around seven minutes on the website in total. According to web traffic measuring website, Compete, the blog gathers around 30 000 unique visitors from the US alone. The website’s popularity is put in perspective when considering that only 3.8% of the traffic comes from the States. 6. NAIJ Nigerian portal NAIJ provides news coverage on topical subjects, and also promotes music, weather, and local events. With over 206 000 daily unique visitors to the website, it is the third most popular online news source in Nigeria. With an estimate of 1,268,757 daily pageviews and 2.3-million monthly unique visitors, the average user spends over 11 minutes browsing and visits just under six pages while doing so. That, in turn, translates into 35-million monthly pageviews.

Nairaland ranked number 2 is a big plus to this esteemed forum and something to be proud of as a member, if only Seun can leverage on this feat to generate more revenues by attracting more visitors while purging the site off 'scammers and witch-hunters (with more than 5 monikers)' ![]() |
