WEBSITE OF THE WEEK: TechNation Australia
Posted by Paul Ryan, Editor, Anthill Magazine
The good folks over at TechNation Australia (TNA) have begun compiling a monthly Aussie Startup Index, which ranks the highest trafficked Australian startup websites.
The final figures are arrived at by averaging each site’s global Alexa and Compete rankings – only sites with a ranking of less than one million are listed (lower is better).
Not sure how TechNation is defining “startup”, as the list contains a few companies that are well and truly ready to leave the nest (ie Atlassian). But it contains several sites I hadn’t heard of so I’m betting there are some in there that you’re not aware of either. This can only be a good thing, as exposure is like oxygen for Aussie web start-ups.
The Index was launched in August and the September rankings are now live. Check it out, and let them know if your web startup isn’t included in their Startup Australia wiki list.

Hey Paul
Thanks for the support!
At the moment we’re letting people self-define themselves as startups - i.e. if someone wants to put their company/site on the Startup Australia wiki list then they’re included in our startup index.
Over the coming months we’re going to tweak the way that startups are ranked and also go through the list and add some companies we know are missing.
Hopefully we can make it as comprehensive and accurate a tool ASAP
