We’ve done it again! Each quarter, Hitwise award the ten highest traffic websites in each of its 160+ categories with a shield recognising each website’s success.

For the quarter January-March 2008, NZS.com has placed #5 in both the Business and Finance - Business Directories industry, and the Computers and Internet - Search Engines industry! This status is based on the market share of visits among all New Zealand websites within those industries - so we’re doing pretty well to be in the top five throughout the country in two different categories!
