Top 10 Blogs And Bloggers In Malaysia

Blogging has become very popular nowadays. To a lot of social media/tech savvy people and internet geeks, blogging has become second nature. And many are earning loads from this hobby too. But every so often, no matter the niche, there emerge some popular blogs and bloggers that become influencers, and set standards in their respective niche. And like in every profession, bloggers need inspiration. This inspiration doesn't need to be from the top blogs like TechCrunch or Mashable. Rather, you can look up the top blogs in your own country and feel inspired. For this purpose, we will be sharing some top 10 blogs and bloggers list from across various countries. And here is a list of the top 10 blogs and bloggers from Malaysia for your inspiration if you're from Malaysia (or even if you're not).

Blog evaluation

While evaluating blogs, there's no one or easy parameter that tells us which blog is the best. This is mainly due to the non-availability of accurate analytics data. The most obvious rating system of choice would be Alexa Traffic Rank. But even that's not accurate enough, since it mostly monitors traffic from its toolbar-installed browsers (at least that's how it worked last time we saw). So a site with less traffic could rank above a site with greater traffic in Alexa. But still, it does give us a good estimate of where a website or blog stands.

In our rating, we also take into account audience engagement (comments, likes, followers etc), and Google PageRank, as well as 'blog influence' and Technorati ratings (for the past 180 days). Hence, our ratings might not confer with another ranking system, because we evaluate how influential, how popular, and how well optimized and ranked a blog is. Also, it doesn't matter whether the blog is in English or a native language. The purpose is just to find out what blogs are popular. So here goes!

Top 10 Blogs and Bloggers in Malaysia

• Alexa Worldwide  73,706
• Alexa Rank for Malaysia : 679

1. Wapcar

This is an automobile related blog, and it was quite fun visiting it. The design looks great and eye-catching, and so do the pictures. And some of the blog posts were interesting, something you don't find on every other blog. It has a large fan-base too, and I'd say if you're an automobile fan, then this blog should be on your reading list.

2. HongKiat

• Alexa Worldwide  1,938
• Alexa Rank for Malaysia : 748

HongKiat, of course, needs no introduction. It is one of the leading lbogs in the tech industry, and not just in Malaysia. Head over to it and see for yourself!

3. Beautiful Nara

• Alexa Worldwide Rank : 13,279
• Alexa Rank for Malaysia : 86

The name sounds cheeky, yes. But that's because this is more of a personal blog. Nevertheless, it has been able to amass a large number of followers on social media, and has won many awards for its niche, including the Asia-Pacific Nuffnang Blog Awards 2011, Best Entertainment Blog Jan 2012, and 10th of Malaysia's Most Visited Local Sites. AbangNara has been able to generate a large active fan engagement for his blog, which makes it the Number One on our list.

4. MyNewsHub

• Alexa Worldwide Rank : 15,571
• Alexa Rank for Malaysia : 80

Another, very popular Malaysian news blog featuring general news and also other posts on social media such as Facebook etc. It also has a large fan engagement, with more social media followers than AbangNara's blog, but the global ranking is lower, so that makes it the NOC for the top spot.

5. Says

• Alexa Worldwide Rank : 19,401
• Alexa Rank for Malaysia : 104

This is a blog, or more precisely, this is a platform where people share news and information. You can find topics related to Lifestyle, Fashion, Sports, Fun, News, and so on. They even have a broadcasters program where people can contribute and earn money. All-in-all, it's a good blog to follow for latest and interesting news and views.

6. Blog Serius

• Alexa Worldwide Rank : 23,698
• Alexa Rank for Malaysia : 130

This is another very popular blog that shares interesting and cool stuff related to daily life, including technology, latest news, and so on.

7. Denaihati

• Alexa Worldwide Rank : 23,730
• Alexa Rank for Malaysia : 197

Another broad-niched blog that features technology, news, and opinions. This makes me wonder, how do they manage such broad-niched blogs? But nonetheless, the ranking are in front of you. This blog has achieved a great ranking, and a large fan-base. But if we were to suggest anything to the blogger, it'd be improvement in the visuals to make it more attractive. That way, the power of the blog could be tapped and utilized for better purposes, and we think this blog can achieve greater heights.

8. Amanz

• Alexa Worldwide Rank : 28,364
• Alexa Rank for Malaysia : 133

I particularly liked reviewing this blog. It contains a lot of useful information mostly regarding technology and the internet; hence a place for geeks and digital-tech enthusiasts :)

9. Ohbulan

• Alexa Worldwide Rank : 30,060
• Alexa Rank for Malaysia : 270

A blog mostly related to movies and celebrities. And has quite a fan-engagement. But then again, you know how viral such sites can become. Still, a well managed blog.

10. MyResipi

• Alexa Worldwide Rank : 36,302
• Alexa Rank for Malaysia : 327

A cookie, anyone? (No I don't have one, go make one for yourself :P) Because, now you know of a good and popular cooking blog! Yes, that's right. Who says you can't become popular and rank up for a not-so-well known niche? A blog doesn't necessarily have to be tech-related to become successful. This very blog, for instance, has some cooking recipes, and has managed a 36k worldwide ranking. How? I can't say. But this blog sure is a good one related to cooking, and although I'm no cook who can test out the 'Resipis', I am sure many others would find the information therein useful.

That concludes our list of the top 10 blogs and bloggers of Malaysia. Hope you liked the list (and agreed with it :P). And if your blog is on the list, then congratulations! And if not, then don't worry. These blogs might have been at your blog's position at some time. Just give it your best, and hopr for the best. All the best :)
