Hi and welcome to my blog! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting and do come back.
In my honest opinion I think Afrigator has lost some fight since it decided not to rank blogs against one another. We, as bloggers, have egos. We also believe that we are the best and like to pit ourselves against one another.
Afrigator offers a unique opportunity that sites like Amatomu don’t. Continent-wide competition.
Basically I like to know if I am doing well nationally but also on an African basis too. Tell me if I am #20012324 in Africa or if, in fact, I am up there with the best of them.
I wanna know how many SA blogs are in the top 50 in Africa, what the numbers are like comparatively; Africa vs SA.
I also would them to make it useable and accessible. Don’t hide my ranking on a number that appears obscurely somewhere in my profile after ten clicks. Say it loud in my profile area. Tell me on the homepage, or on the ranking page but broadcast who the top ten are, locally, regionally, nationally, on the continent etc, etc.
You got my vote on Muti for this one!
Thanks Chris! I am all egotistical and all that jazz apparently, being an “A-lister” so I wanna know who’s whipping my ass!!
hahahaha.
Good point Nic. I would like to be able to tap into blogs that are getting attention in Africa, and as you say, know where I stand in comparison.
Thanks Rouvanne,
It’s good to see you commenting around the blogosphere hey!! Now that you’re an award winner it’s pushed you to shout out hey!

Ja Nic - don’t feel like a noisy upstart anymore! But I have been trying to sort out hassles with Afrigator and the fact that I havent been getting stats - I really see the value in it - so while I am getting my sh1t sorted, I might as well throw in my 2008 cents!
Kudos on the win Nic
@SaulK Thanks man!! And well done to you too!!
Think that all the winning suggestions had real value and hope the Afriguys can make use of them!! 
I have to agree. It also helps to understand how much influence a blog(ger) when readin what he/she has to say.
I can also understand how someone like Rouvanne, who is constantly scouting for new ideas/artists etc would find rankings useful.
Seems like a no-brainer!?
