@Gakuru I meant Kenyan sites.. What i did was look at the same list you did, but then went ahead to filter only those sites that are Kenyan according to the following rules Are either registered in Kenya (e.g. .co.ke) or Distribute kenyan content (e.g local dailies) or Are used by Kenyan diaspora (e.g. mashada) etc Sites like facebook and google dominate the the top sites in nearly all countries, the reason I chucked them from my list.. Either way am still curious as to why the said site has such a high ranking.. beats me -Alex On Sun, Sep 20, 2009 at 9:10 PM, Gakuru Alex <alexgakuru.lists@gmail.com>wrote:

Well as you can see it has very nyeri specific content. Even the nairobi website doesnt have as much content that would compell a nairobian to visit the site. Maybe the creators can advise what they did. On Tue, Sep 22, 2009 at 10:59 AM, Josiah Mugambi <jmugambi@gmail.com> wrote:
