T he www.MabuhayRadio.com is once again the Top Dog in the www.Alexa.com traffic ratings in the United States of websites published by Filipino-American media companies. The www.Asianjournal.com edged out the MabuhayRadio.com for the number-one spot in the last quarter of 2008 and in January 2009. But this month, the MabuhayRadio.com overtook again the Asianjournal.com and now leads it by 23,111 spots. The two had been fighting for supremacy in the USA ratings of the Alexa.com after the MabuhayRadio.com celebrated its first anniversary on April 9, 2008.

However, the Asianjournal.com still leads the MabuhayRadio.com in the worldwide ratings among the Filipino-American websites run by Overseas-Filipino media companies. But in the Alexa.com category of the “number of unique pages viewed per user per day” (NUPVPUPD), the MabuhayRadio.com has a 3-month average of 8.3 pages while the Asianjournal.com has a rating of 1.6 pages.

The amazing fact also is that the MabuhayRadio.com and another website mentioned in this report, the www.Filamnation.com (formerly known as Mygringos.com), do not publish any hardcover (printed) edition and merely rely on their online publication to promote their sites either by word of mouth or referrals by and among its readers. On the other hand, the Asian Journal newspaper has bi-weekly editions in Los Angeles and Orange Counties, San Francisco, New York, Las Vegas and it has a sister publication in Manila. In short, the www.Asianjournal.com is heavily advertised in all the Asian Journal editions in the United States and in the Philippines. The same is true with the five other publications mentioned in this article – all of them have printed editions, aside from their websites.

H ere are the data as of today, Feb. 24, 2009, at 7:30 a.m., including the figures for the top Filipino-American newspapers in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York and Miami (Florida). The Filipinas Magazine is included in this comparative analysis as its publisher, Greg Macabenta, is one of the people who had been saying “not to mind Bobby Reyes for after all nobody reads him.” Oh, yeah? As readers can view the number of readers per author in the MabuhayRadio.com, Bobby Reyes has so far written 436 articles that have been viewed by 241,502 readers as of this morning.
