Six months ago we checked with alexa.com and published the top 10 Jamaican sites visited by Jamaicans, it caused a little controversy with its surprises. Many people were asking Jahkno.com who? Never heard of them what do they do and are doing to be number one? Regardless, what we discovered from the top 10 list was that without question, the 18-35 age group is online in full force.
In that report we also made it clear that alexa.com a leading web information company that tracks and reports on site rankings globally, is the single way in which to measure this Top 10. Let us know if you agree with the alexa.com rankings.
Here we go again, six months later to see who’s still standing, who’s new and worth giving a click check.

I always enjoy your blog. Alexa can be wrong at times. I have seen sites range in their ranking with alexa. I like to use domaintools and urltrends to get a more well rounded picture of how a site is doing.
Love the blog
I agree with the alexa rank, but I noticed since recently their as been some problem cause the last site ranking was on the 15th of Feb. I like the current ranking as well, time for a change jahkno as been #1 from Dec. 2006 for those that don’t know. So I’m glad to see another site bloom.
Thanks Orlando for the heads up on these tools. I’ll be sure to share with our readers.
Suh dis link wrang http://www.alexa.com/browse?&CategoryID=26487
i find this ranking interesting.although it could be wrong. how wrong could it be though. i went to the site to see what it is all about, seems like alot of traffic from teenagers. I think it says something about internet usage in Jamaica though.
That Alexa list certainly made me discover some new sites but I actually visit quite a few of them myself. Jahkno is one I didn’t know about before though.
[...] across a number of entertainment and music websites which are Jamaican based, recently i saw an article which reported that the top Jamaican sites most visited site by Jamaicans was a message board [...]
