Top 50 Blogs from Malaysia 2017

Top 50 Blogs Malaysia 2017

Malaysia is one of the most dynamic digital market in Southeast Asia with a profusion of famous blogs. The following Top 50 blogs from Malaysia was created to gather the most prominent blogs of the Malaysian online community and help everyone find and learn from digital thought-leaders and trendsetters of the region.

One of the advantages of the country is that many Malaysians are very proficient in the use of English, generally helping business in Malaysia. Many blogs from Malaysia are therefore written in English and have reached a global recognition; they are easy to understand for the rest of Southeast Asia as well.

Nevertheless, several blogs in Malay language also have become prominent and gathered a large national audience; these successful blogs in Malay are noted with their language hereafter in the following list to guide through the blogosphere of Malaysia.

For those who want to go further and expand their blog or business through Internet, consider buying our “succeed online in Malaysia” ebook which will guide you through the Malaysian digital landscape and best practices of digital marketing. You can also purchase our spreadsheet of 400 top blogs of ASEAN-5 to easily find partners for influencer marketing and SEO.

List of the Top 50 blogs from Malaysia

After carefully combing more than 200 blogs using the method detailed below, here are the results of the most influential blogs from Malaysia. Through various themes and industries, they regroup blogs written primarily by a single author with personal opinions on unique or multiple themes, focused on a particular niche or aiming at a massive audience.

Each blog’s main themes have been added to make the list more user-friendly and help you learn about blogs that correspond to your interests… or the product or service you might want these influencers to talk about.

As a final note, the very prominent “blog” Hongkiat has not been integrated in the following list as it has now outgrown both its Malaysian roots, with authors from around the world, and its status of “blog” now also seems to be questionable for such a large media that publishes numerous articles everyday with a massive global audience. Congratulations for such a success.

Top bloggers from Malaysia on Twitter

List of top blogs from Malaysia on TwitterHere is the complete top 50 blogs from Malaysia. To help you stay informed on their activities, a Twitter list has been created to regroup their Twitter profiles (when available) together with some other top bloggers from Malaysia active on Twitter.

You can check what they are up to and follow the whole list to keep in touch with them all at once. Of course, don’t forget to follow @ASEANUP too! 🙂

Malaysia’s top blogs selection criteria

Though the highest ranking blogs and websites in many “top” lists are often legitimate, when a single tool is used to rank these websites the middle and lower ranking ones are often not the most relevant, because of the inherent characteristics of the tool used. That’s why the previous list has been created by carefully selecting the 50 most influential blogs from Malaysia through a combination of well-established tools for digital marketing.

Domain authority and estimated monthly traffic

First, a shortlist of 100 blogs with recent updates was created by screening 200+ of the most prominent blogs in English, Malay and Chinese from Malaysia through MOZ’s Domain Authority and SimilarWeb’s monthly estimated traffic as of May 2017. Only the blogs with high domain authority or estimated traffic were kept.

Total social media community

Then, the social media community on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter of each blog in the shortlist was recorded when they were above 500 followers. These communities were added to create a “total social media community” for each blog and indicate the general popularity of the blog/blogger on social media.

Note that the Youtube followers of Emily Quak (#23) have been added to her community as she is primarily a vlogger on Youtube, with more than 85,000 followers.

Final ranking 

Finally by combining SimilarWeb’s estimated monthly traffic (weighed 2) and the total social media community (weighed 1) for each blog, the shortlist was ordered from the most to least influential. The top 50 blogs obtained through these aggregated criteria were finally retained to ensure the most relevant references and measure blogs through their relative influence in one useful list.

  1. what about blogs on politics? why not include them? i believe by far they have amassed more than those 50 blogs youve wrote.

    1. Hi,
      Blogs about politics were not included because ASEAN UP focuses on business-related themes and it is not the role of ASEAN UP to promote any form of political opinion.
      Cheers
