Article is written in a promotional manner. Notability is not proven by sources. Haploidavey (talk) 14:09, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

The article is not written on a promotional manner. It is stating facts, and depicting both: the importance of Africa.com as an organization owner of the growing website, and the main characteristics of website and organization. Pabesteves (talk) 14:20, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Furthermore, according to Alexa rankings, Africa.com ranks 6,275 of traffic in South Africa and 34,025 in the USA "The site's visitors view 3.8 unique pages each day on average. The site has a relatively good traffic rank in the city of Pietersburg (#64). Africa.com has been online for at least sixteen years. While roughly 54% of visitors to the site come from the US, where it is ranked #34,025, it is also popular in South Africa, where it is ranked #6,275."

I consider that the importance of the organization strives on its relevance to the world, and not to the fact the organization shares the same name that its website domain. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pabesteves (talk • contribs) 15:13, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
