The Top Bloggers and Blog Sites in Singapore

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
