Just who are the top bloggers and blog sites in Singapore?
Some other site recently published a list using data from alexa.com for comparisons, but the results are somewhat strange. I personally dislike using Alexa due to its reliance on data coming through the Alexa Toolbar on Firefox.
Firefox. Who uses Firefox nowadays? And how many people love installing punky toolbars on their web browsers?
I prefer using similarweb.com. SimilarWeb don’t rely on any single source of data and should be way more robust and accurate.
Here’s a quick list of top bloggers in Singapore, according to SimilarWeb:
Update 3.30pm 22/4/2015 : After publishing the initial list, TheSmartLocal contacted us with their Google Analytic verified traffic on similarweb, which now puts them firmly at the top position.
Update 8.29am 23/4/2015: Danielfooddiary contacted us with their Google Analytic verified traffic on similarweb which now puts them firmly as the number 2 food blogger, pushing Seth Lui down. Also added another two food blogs, Johor Kaki and Rubbish Eat Rubbish Grow at number 16. Added .sg and .com traffic for Xiaxue.
1. The Smart Local – 1.9m
Featuring a mix of useful, shareable content on the best deals and most interesting sites in Singapore, The Smart Local is a treasure trove to find things to do. No wonder they are the top.
2. Ladyironchef – 690k
Singaporeans love food. No surprise that the number 2 spot in Singapore is taken by a food site, packed full of listicles and guides on where to get the best eats.
3. Danielfooddiary – 651k
The second food blog from the top. What’s unique about this site is that Daniel do not do food tasting, paying for all his own meals. He also has a strict guideline on not flooding his site with too much advertorials and advocate health and fitness on top of just enjoying good food.
4. Seth Lui – 453k
The third food blog from the top. Seth Lui is a relatively new entrant to the top list and is moving up the ranks rapidly, showing that Singaporeans really love food and will reward well-written food content.
5. Alvinology – 412k
This blog. 🙂
6. Moneysmart.sg – 390k
Tips on saving money, managing your investments and other financial related news, made simple for the average Singaporeans.
7. Parka – 360k
Cartoonist and artist, Parka has a strong international audience of art lovers.
8. Xiaxue – 295k (added .sg and .com)
The long time blogging queen of Singapore. She can easily push up her blog traffic to the top of the list by creating a big media storm over some controversial issues if she wants to.
9. Mr Brown – 170k
The grandfather of blogging in Singapore, Mr Brown needs no further introduction.
9. Dr Leslie Tay – 170k
Published author of various books on the Singapore food scene, Dr Leslie Tay is a regular on TV shows and radio stations.
10. Salary.sg – 140k
Best known for their salary calculators and comparison apps, Salary.sg is a fun site to visit for useful tips and news on salary-related issues.
11. QiuQiu – 130k
The perk of being Xiaxue’s BFF, Qiuting has her own pool of strong followers from her candid and brash blogging style.
12. Tammy Tay – 120k
One of the pretty female bloggers signed to Gushcloud and the highest ranked in this list, excluding food blogger Seth Lui.
13. Vivawomen – 110k
Beauty blog focused on organic skincare and holistic beauty.
14. Asia361.com – 107k
Haven’t heard of this site before? That’s because it’s only two months old! Asia 361 is an affiliate site of Alvinology.com and covers lifestyle, travel and entertainment content around Asia. The team is working hard to push the traffic. Not bad for a relatively new site.
15. Working with Grace – 95k
Blogging coach and published author of the book, “Blogging for a Living”, Grace walks the talk and has a respectable following for her blog to earn her a place among the top bloggers.
15. Limpeh FT – 95k

18. Aspirantsg – 75k
Lifestyle and motivational blog, covering a wide variety of topics.
18. Rubbish Eat Rubbish Grow – 75k
Another food blogger. How many of them already? 🙂 Rubbish Eat Rubbish Grow is a community-based food blog with a mix of writers from all walks of life.
19. Rachel Wong – 70k
The controversial blogger who is allegedly caught in the middle of the Xiaxue vs Gushcloud scandal. She has since switched management from Gushcloud to their rival, Nuffnang.
20. Naomi Neo – 65k
One of the young up-and-coming pretty girl bloggers. It helps that her boyfriend is youtuber Tan Jianhao who produced a lot of viral videos.

25. Yan Kay Kay – 40k
Xiaxue’s best friend turned nemesis.
Alvin!!! I got 200k + lor. How come I’m not in??
Hi, I just checked similarweb.com and realised that Danielfooddiary.com should have a traffic of 651k instead of the 310k stated. He should be ranked 3rd instead of number 6th.
Updated.
hello Sir ,
pls give me a singapore Travel site for free blogging
Hey Alvin,
Someone linked me your post. Just FYI, Similar web’s statistics on blogspot URLs are inaccurate.
This is because, based on location, the URL changes from blogspot.sg (if in singapore), to whatever country you are in. For example, if I typed in xiaxue.blogspot.sg when I’m holidaying in Taiwan, the URL automatically becomes xiaxue.blogspot.tw.
Therefore, the statistics you are posting represents only Singaporean visitors, not counting international ones, or even Singaporeans who are overseas. This puts all blogger.com blogs at a huge disadvantage when it comes to your ranking, since everybody else’s is based on views in totality, local or overseas.
If you wish to put in accurate statistics for blogspot users, maybe you can do a sum of the following variations of their blogspot URL: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GKFJD_Yp5Ns/VKRqEDXTNMI/AAAAAAAAhyQ/s1vbhdba_4U/s1600/smrt7.jpg
There might actually be more than this list suggests.
🙂
Thanks for the clarification. Wei Kiat, our tech guy at http://originallyus.sg wrote the post. I will ask him to check. There were some bloggers, including those on blogspot who linked their Google Analytics to give better verified statistics.
Hi Wendy,
Many thanks for your comments.
What you have pointed out is a valid concern, however –
Blogspot uses a header 302 redirect, not just any javascript redirect and automatically insert an canonical tag to point to the base URL, so crawlers, search engines, etc all should (by right, lah) treat variations of the url (.tw, .sg, etc) as one website entity.
Of course, this brings more complexity to the data, that’s why external sites can never tell the traffic 100%.
We have updated your stats as a sum of both .com and .sg, but this in itself will introduce double counting.
Why is VulcanPost.com not on the list?
I would nominate https://blog.qanvast.com/ – 95k views.
I’m also based in Singapore and my blog 40PlusStyle.com has a global Alexa ranking of 127,050. Traffic exceeds 400k visitors each month.

Awesome collection of premium wordpress responsive themes. I often suggest someone to not spent money on making changes after implementing free themes. But better thing is that purchase a premium theme and take benefits of well tested and nicely coded features. At the end when we compare free theme+changes v/s premium theme then both will have the same amount of money spent.

9Anime storylines are also a lot absorbed on adult themes. However, one of the many tempting features of animation in over-all is its skill to appeal and be tailored to an extensive variety of people. 9anime frequently focuses on adult themes. Even when 9anime includes humor (which it often does), the comedy is often used to ease a darker or more violent theme that is appropriate mainly for adult viewing.
