Guyanese Online celebrated its 11th Anniversary in February 2021.
We have a large database of Guyanese worldwide. Most of our readers (over 78%), are in the USA, Canada, and the UK & EU.
The website has carried articles and videos on Guyana, as well as articles and videos on a wide range of subjects that may be of interest to our readers, many of them non-Guyanese We hope that you like our selections. On the anniversary, we have had over 7.3 millions views on the website. This increases by at least 60,000 every month.
Guyanese Online was NOT established as a business website. Its main goal was to offer FREE advertising to Guyanese Associations worldwide. This goal has been achieved over the last 11 years, but the COVID pandemic has affected all organizations and there are no live events and very few publications. We hope that Guyanese Associations will recover quickly as life is normalized.
Here is some information on the readership for 2020:
1. Over the last 11+ years, Guyanese Online has focused on the Guyana Diaspora and Guyanese Associations in the Diaspora. This Diaspora is estimated at over a million Guyanese, when we include their descendants.
2. Most Guyanese have emigrated to the USA. The majority have settled in New York State, New Jersey, Washington DC area, Maryland, Virginia, Georgia, and Florida. For this reason, Guyanese Online carries articles on USA politics and other subjects that may be of interest to them.
3. Our statistics show that for 2020, (10 months as we did not publish in April and May), the total views were 760,128. The views from USA = 357,018 (46.96%); Canada =170,954 (22.49%); UK & EU= 65,507 (8.61%). These three geographic areas accounted for 78.06% of readers and is reflected in the content of the published entries.
However, work is now needed with website improvements. I have been the only person building this website and databases over the last 11+ years, but now I have hired personnel to help.

I live abroad and find that Guyanese Online provides an invaluable service in keeping me up to speed the latest news, arts and other goings-on in the country.
Congratulations on your first eleven years and long may you continue.
Agreed, Arthur:
This site has been a revelation.
Guyanese Online has taught me a lot about the land of my birth over the years. I was only 22 and a half years old when I left more than 45 years ago. Obviously, I did not spend much of my adult life there to get to know the country as well as others.
My first and only job was at the New Amsterdam Magistrates Court – from January 1974 until May 1975 – before I was transferred to the Supreme Court in Georgetown where I worked for another two months before resigning to seek a better life far afield.
What fascinates me most are the lucid memories of my fellow countrymen and countrywomen who can recite intriguing, personal stories with great details and incredible clarity: stories of their childhood neighborhood and who lived next door or down the street, tales of trips into the forest, encounters with wildlife and venomous snakes, the Amerindian way of life, and so on.
Guyanese have great stories to tell and thanks to Cyril we can all tell our own as we simultaneously learn from our compatriots.
May the site remain vibrant for many more years.
Cheers, Ron.
Congratulations Cyril. Keep up the good work.
Way to go! Always interesting.
Congrats on your anniversary. What a immense contribution to the Guyanese and the world at large.
Congratulations, Cyril. 11 years, and still maintaining a good standard!
Stay safe and well.
Congrats, Congrats Cy!!! Keep it going…11 and Counting….
Cheers, Michelle

CONGRATULATIONS Dear Cyril for a Job Well Done…and continue to do. God Bless.
Cyril! Congratulations on eleven years of GO! You have been doing a fantastic job for the far-flung Guyanese diaspora on this planet. You have managed to feed us with the expected and the unexpected. I still do not know how you get this done day after day! Keep them coming, particularly as many of us are stuck in their home offices for the foreseeable time.
Congratulations, Cyril, and best wishes in the years ahead.
Let’s hope for another many more fascinating years of Guyanese Online.
Cheers, Ron.
P.S.: I’d like to see, if possible, a return of former regular commenters such as Veda and Gigi.
Thank you Ron.
Neither of the “former Regular Commenters” are blocked from this site. They can comment if they like to do so.
I would like to see them, as well as others, commenting as well.
Cheers!!

Just found this site via a friend. Love the post by Dave Martin.
Congrats on your Guyanese online 11 Year anniversary.
Thanks Dear Cyril for affording me the opportunity of sharing my vast knowledge of our Beautiful Guyana it the articles of mine which you so graciously published over the years. Thanks a million. God Bless, and may you continue for many more years.
I could not agree more with Francis’ statement!
The Good, Bad and Ugly….Thanks for the “news” of our beloved country and homeland..You and your website have been a welcome and refreshing breath of fresh air of “honest” opinion and commentary. Sometimes biased and in need of credibility and authenticated support but nonetheless someone else’s opinion which is just as good as one’s own. Keep up the good work and I am happy to support your efforts anytime as needed. Thank You
