Save Africa's blogging community!

March 10, 2012 - PRLog -- Bloggers the world over and specifically on the African continent share the same frustration of trying to attract visitors to their blogs. In an online space with 255 million websites and 152 million blogs it is increasingly difficult and in some cases almost impossible to be noticed.  To make matters worse, large corporations with considerable advertising budgets spend millions in an effort to create blog networks that drive traffic. 

Thousands of blog authors the world over have simply abandoned their efforts and the world is a poorer place because of it. Countless articles of immense worth, beauty, and originality have been lost.  Citizens of the world and more specifically Africans cannot allow this alarming practice to continue. The blogging community has to find a way to express itself.

African Blogs now present a unique opportunity to blog owners anywhere on the African continent to get their blogs noticed by the 110 million+ Internet users that reside on the African continent. A specialized, human-edited and reviewed, niche directory that aims to list high-quality blogs from authors across Africa.

Considering the amount of content available on the Internet, African Blogs believe that Internet users in Africa lack the necessary single destination to access content written by and for fellow Africans. 

African Blogs now puts the power back where it belongs - in the hands of blog authors across Africa who devote their time and energy to create compelling content that often goes unnoticed by the larger African population.
