Hi Arun,

Even I dont like mapsofindia.com on the face of google maps and google earth.

But MapofIndia has got superb SEO done .. whenever you are searching for any city address or pin codes or any term which has an indian city name in it, this site will pop in in first five in google… so probably that is the reason it has been mentioned in the list..

I cant digest Redbus though…

These are just two sites that i checked. Didnt compile an exhaustive list to compare all of them.

What's even fishy to (ignorant?) me is that the results of the report - top 20 of the 2000 websites analysed, which should be the reason to buy the report, is already made public and the report is priced soooooo high so as to dissuade anybody from purchasing it. So, agree with Philip that it could be a sponsored report! What ever happened to timesofindia, hindustantimes, bharatstudent, makemytrip and their ilk?
