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.

Op, e don finish?

Waiting for credible source before I believe this news

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)' Congrats to all Nairalanders especially posters at the 'Politics Section (most visited part of Nairaland)'.

So nairaland.com has beaten Facebook.com traffic ,this definitely calls for celebration and partying.

Here's a proud member
