The website was launched around the time when the iPod Touch was introduced, shortly after the jailbreak release which enabled the influx of third-party applications. The MySQL database of the site is relatively modest, approximately 40-50MB, and operates efficiently with caching plugins enabled, such as wp-cache or supercache.
Revenue for the website is primarily generated through Google AdSense, with earnings ranging from $450 to $700 monthly, depending on page views and clicks. Additionally, there is a direct advertising plugin incorporated, which has the potential to significantly increase revenue, potentially doubling it. The website is manageable on an economical $3 per month shared hosting plan due to its simple WordPress structure.
In terms of traffic, most of the visitors arrive through organic search engine results, specifically Google, achieved without resorting to spam tactics. The site's visibility and credibility have been bolstered by mentions on several notable technology websites and many smaller iPhone-themed blogs. This broad network of backlinks contributes to its steady flow of organic traffic, supporting its ongoing engagement and sustained revenue generation through advertisements.
