We have studied the magnetic properties of thin inhomogeneous Ni films in the vicinity of a percolating threshold. A detailed analysis of the extraordinary Hall effect as a function of temperature gives quantitative information on the variation of the magnetic order. We show that the Hall effect is related to the magnetic properties at the grain scale. The strength of the magnetic coupling is insensitive to the film morphology. The magnetic behavior is similar to that of homogeneous thin films.
