Top 100 Universities and Colleges in Africa

This ranking is edited by 4icu.org University Web Ranking and based upon an algorithm including three unbiased and independent web metrics extracted from three different search engines: 1) Google Page Rank, 2) Yahoo Inbound Links, and 3) Alexa Traffic Rank.

Web metrics data are collected on the same day to minimize temporal fluctuations and maximize comparability. A pre-computational filter is adopted to detect outliers in the raw data. The total number of external inbound links (or backlinks) pointing to each university website is also cleaned from duplicate domains based on a statistical sample; unique inbound links (i.e. links coming from different domains) are in fact a much more significant and powerful measure of website link popularity. Finally, further investigation and a review of Alexa Traffic Rank data is carried out for universities adopting a subdomain (highly not recommended) as their official institutional home page.
