Note from ER Editor:
Ethiopian Review would like to thank SEWD for conducting this annual survey. ER is not only the best quality Ethiopian web site, according to your survey, but also the most visited, according to Statbrain.com, which takes into account several statistic tools, including alexa.com. Nazret.com claims to be the most visited site and shows off figures by alexa.com, but Statbrain.com tells a different story. Ethiopian Review is the most visited site despite being blocked in Ethiopia, unlike Nazret.com, which is accessible in Ethiopia. The only reason Nazret.com is even in a competition with EthiopianReview.com because Nazret.com is not blocked in Ethiopia.

  1. Congratulations for a job well done. By the way, Nazret is a den of Woyanne cadres, and its editor, whom no body knows, has no position on Woyanne. Here is what he wrote on his site:

    “I can assure you of nazret’s independence, we are neither pro-woyane nor pro-opposition, we are just pro-Ethiopia, and we are very proud of our record on that.”

    I rest my case.

  4. bravo to all the top 3 ethiopian websites.

    by the way, last year nazret.com selected the dictator Meles zenawi as their Person of the Year. HOW CAN nazret.com choose the killer meles zenawi as the person of the year?????? what a woyane site!!

    elias, keep supporting ethio opposition groups so we can get rid of TPLF who massacred 200 innocent ethiopians

  7. Big congratulation Elias. Every single year you are top , what a milestone achievment. Proud is your mother and father and above all Ethiopian population. You deserve the best this world can offer. Amillion thanks for your relentless job well done.
