We had disabled our search engine earlier in the year, not too long after launch, because we had to make a sharp change in technology. We are working on it right now and will soon be launching it soon. It will be packed with features and will raise the bar of online search in Nigeria.

Sturvs has just broken through the 200,000 mark on Alexa. Sturvs’ traffic rank is currently 175,050 in the whole world and 191 in Nigeria. This means Sturvs is now in the top 200,000 most visited websites in the world and in the 200 most visited websites in Nigeria. It’s good progress but isn’t good enough. We plan to do better than this, so please watch us from now till the end of the year and see what progress we make.

We know Alexa acts like it’s on crack sometimes but this is still a good estimate of how much traffic we get. The graphs don’t correspond to our site statistics at all.

You might be asking, “what’s my business?” or “how does this affect me?” Well, if you have anything you want to market or promote, this means Sturvs can help you expose it to 1000+ daily Nigerian visitors. Any link that makes it to the Sturvs home page gets guaranteed traffic for approximately 1 week before it falls to page 2.

Update

Sturvs breaks through the 100,000 mark on Alexa in July 2008.
