Our History:
Our website started out as a email newsletter and slowly evolved onto the internet as a website. The idea for this website was discussed early 1997. When the website was first launched in January of 1998, we had only about 4 webpages which were problems with HTML and JAVA errors were often and we had difficulty getting visitors to visit the site as we were not known yet and the number of internet users was very small. Today we have over 350 pages and receive between 75,000 - 90,000 visitors on an average month. We get 5 Million hits a year. For more stats, visit our Media Kit Centre. The website has gone through 5 redesigning since 1998. Here is the second edition of Afghan Network International.

Since then, we have been growing by the month. Now we are the largest and most visited Afghan website in Canada, Europe and largest and most extensive informational website on the internet. We have been listed in every corner of the internet from newspapers to universities to libraries, Finnish organizations, Swedish research sites, Swiss organizations, government & military websites, German aid organizations, other great Afghan sites, Arab sites, Asian information sites to search engines. We have found 1000s links to our Front page and our well-known Afghan News Channel. We became the "link of the month" on an online culture-focused German magazine and editor's choice on Yahoo.com in 1999. We are been listed in the American Library of Congress's Digital Collection. We have been asked to be guest speakers at Universities & High Schools and have provided much information to students with projects on Afghanistan across the Globe. We have received an award for being one of the TOP 500 websites on the internet with great content and design and very high visitor satisfaction with Afghan News Channel and Afghan Network Store.
