What Bloggers say about Port Elizabeth on 23 April 2012

23 April 2012 By Alan Straton

Out of the top 64 blog posts mentioning Port Elizabeth that we looked at today we selected 24 blogs that mention Port Elizabeth for our showcase below.

We have observed that whenever a large event such as the Ironman takes place in Port Elizabeth that the number of articles mentioning Port Elizabeth increases radically – not only as a result of direct coverage for the event. Surely this is an indication of the more positive spin off for shining the spotlight onto our region?

MyPE provides this roundup in order to promote Port Elizabeth and to encourage fellow bloggers to expand their coverage of Port Elizabeth and surrounds.

MyPE extends grateful thanks to bloggers and online media  for their continued excellent coverage of Port Elizabeth and our events.
