A technology blog, which has been operational for 18 months, is gaining significant traction among popular socials like Twitter, Digg, and StumbleUpon, drawing thousands of visitors. Recently, an iPhone application was developed for the blog, with intentions to upload it to the Apple Store shortly. Over the past five months, the blog has consistently generated at least $500 in revenue from both Adsense and private advertisers. The blog maintains a clean layout, featuring only essential advert spaces such as a 120x600 and a 300x250 size for private ads.
Traffic statistics for the blog are promising, with a noteworthy 24,000 keywords ranking prominently, especially those related to the highly popular iPhone. The blog has reached a minimum of 100,000 unique visitors yearly, averaging 1.5-3 page views per user, and a recent feature addition has tripled page views. Screenshots demonstrating this traffic growth will be shared soon, following a change in hosting services.
The blog, currently at a Google PageRank of 3, aims for a PageRank of 5 with the next update despite being temporarily penalized for text link ads, which were merely links to friend's blogs. The blog has captured attention from high-profile sites like Reuters, CNET, and USAToday, where its posts have been featured. Links to articles in Chicago SunTimes and ComputerShopper provide examples of its broader recognition and engagement within the online community.
