Linux Tutorial Blog

You might like to know what's currently going on behind the scenes of Linux tutorial blog. This post is some kind of small newsletter about the site.

Amazing growth

First of all, I'd like to thank all people who helped spreading the word about this blog so far. At the time of writing, it's 10 days ago that I moved the site from the development area to the domain. Back then, the site only contained a single tutorial and a news post. And now, scarcely one and a half week later, there already are 4 tutorials (although one of them is about the Lifetype blog system, and not especially about Linux) and the amount of unique visits a day is over 200! My thanks go to tuxmachines.org and linux.org.ru (and all the other sites) for linking to my tutorials, to Google for indexing the site so fast (the first visitors coming in from Google were seen at day 5!), to the many visitors I saw coming in for encouraging me to keep up writing, to Sally Forth Records and Youmakemusic for letting me use this domain for free (note: I am a volunteer, so that's why I received it), and to God for being so generous with blessings! Although this may sound a bit exaggerated after just 10 days, I really feel thankful to them =).

Writing tutorials on Sunday

As you might have noticed by now (either by the fish at the bottom of every page or by the thanks in the chapter before this one) I am christian, and I was recently doubting if I should write on Sundays or not. As you can see in the calendar on the left, I think it's alright. This is because writing for this blog doesn't feel like work to me: it makes me happy and enthusiastic. Moreover, I started this blog because I thought it was the Father's will, so why would I not be allowed to write on His day? Again, I want to thank Him for blessing me so much, working on this site has given me so much joy in the past weeks!

Advertising

As you also might have noticed, I am experimenting with advertising on this site (don't worry, I am determined to keep them non-obtrusive). I am not allowed to tell you much of it, but I think I am allowed to tell that the profits will not go to me. However, do not click the ads just because you want to support the site or anything, it could result in my account being blocked. Only click the ads if you really are interested in what they promote.

Update:

I just discovered that this site has got an Alexa traffic rank! At the time of writing, it's 6,494,081 (see http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?q=&url=www.linuxtutorialblog.com for the current traffic rank and details).
