TechPatio has always been open for guest posts and currently we have five articles from guest posters published because they contacted me directly, expressing their desire for having their content published. Guest posting on TechPatio has not been advertised before, until now. With this update, I just want to send a quick notice to all … Read more →
It’s now one year since I first launched TechPatio.com. June 22nd, 2009, was the date I published the first article on TechPatio.com. It was not my first article though, because I had another more personal blog back then, but I decided to start TechPatio and this was my first article: What would you do if … Read more →
I gotta admit, I haven’t been as active on the BloggerLuv community as I had hoped for. Sorry! But I just had to write this post to give some link love to BloggerLuv and the man behind it – John Sullivan, who blogs at PotPolitics.com (latest post: People want to connect so why don’t they?). … Read more →
12 months. One year. That’s how old TechPatio.com is right about now. It doesn’t feel like one full year just went by, but nevertheless, that’s what the calendar says. I will write more about that in another blog post, in the near future. But now it’s about last month, June, and how TechPatio did when … Read more →
Welcome to yet another edition of my monthly income & traffic reports. In these reports I try to show you what can be achieved by one person running a blog, in terms of visitors, pageviews and income from certain programs such as the widely popular Google AdSense but also MyLikes for Twitter, especially if you’ve … Read more →
This is going to be a short income report, as I don’t have much time to “evaluate” on the previous month, at this time. So I’m just going to give you the numbers and a little comment below the table. I hope all of you had a great April and if you’re blogger/webmaster, that you … Read more →
This is my post number 500 on TechPatio.com since June 2009. That’s an average of 50 posts per month, 1.6 posts per day. What do you think, is that an acceptable number for a technology blog like this one? Before you leave a comment below, let’s take a quick stroll down memory lane… My first … Read more →
Another month has passed and that means it’s time to do another round-up post with my income report for TechPatio.com. You may have noticed how I wrote “Money March” in the title to this post. Well, there’s a good reason for that: I focused a lot of my energy on making money this past month. … Read more →
February. Such a short month. Only 28 days. Never the less, these past 28 days were very interesting for TechPatio, as the table below will show you. Maybe it’s because of the winter or maybe TechPatio.com is just growing? Well, have a look at the table and then I’ll discuss a few of the numbers … Read more →
Who would have thought it could take me around 6 months to reach a 1000 tweets on Twitter? That comes down to just about 5 tweets per day. Well, I’m not sure my @TechPatio account has been active for exactly 6 months, but it’s plus/minus a few months at the most, so no big deal. … Read more →
As it turns out, VPS hosting was not for me. Just to recap, here’s the hosting history of TechPatio.com for the past almost 7 months (since TechPatio was first launched): Surftown shared web hosting plan. I’ve been a customer there since 2004 – (a few months). Surftown VPS beta hosting as part of a small … Read more →
Back in November, I was accepted as part of a VPS beta test program with Danish/Swedish hosting provider, Surftown. I moved TechPatio.com to the VPS server and now the beta test has been concluded. I have recently ordered one of the final VPS server solutions for TechPatio and so I will be moving the site … Read more →
I hope it’s not too late to wish you all a Merry Christmas – otherwise consider this an early greeting for Christmas 2010 🙂 Happy New Year 2009 is close to an end and a new year (2010) is just around the corner. 2009 was great for TechPatio for one reason: It was the year … Read more →
Somone over at Thesis Theme HQ reviewed TechPatio.com recently and compared the current site design and layout (as of December ’09) to the one I had before switching to the Thesis theme, back in August 2009. She did a really fantastic and lengthy review of my site and I’m really happy to see how much … Read more →
Who would have thought that the most searched term to arrive here on TechPatio, would be “Caroline Wozniacki breasts“? Well, in October, 5% of all my search engine visitors came here looking for them. Caroline Wozniacki breasts were the 4th most searched term in Google on September the 8th, 1 hour before her quarter final … Read more →
Earlier today I posted a little bit about my issues with moving techpatio.com to another form of hosting, so called VPS (Virtual Private Server), with Surftown. It seems I have finally solved the worst problems and at least now the site is running and e-mails are able to be sent out (comments etc.). While there … Read more →
