SheepTech is Now 3 Year Old

3rd BirthdayJanuary 12th, 2011 marked the third year since SheepTech came to existent in 2008. Fast-forward three years, SheepTech still look the same, with the same logo and WordPress theme. The only changing aspect on SheepTech is the numbers—in terms of traffic, revenue and articles.

Traffic

For the past one year, SheepTech had receive more than half a million visitors, peaking in December with 64,598.

Revenue

SheepTech Monthly Revenue: March 2010 to December 2010
*no data for revenue before March 2010

Revenue peaked in December too with a record breaking $1,237.63, a five fold increment comparing to that of March 2010.

Other Statistics

SheepTech Statistics

To be honest, SheepTech wasn’t launched at the best time. I was having a major exam in high school in 2008, and the year after, I got myself into a flying school. Not much time were spent on the blog, resulting in a very low number of published articles (216 articles in 3 years is laughable).

Fun Facts

SheepTech.com was first registered in 2004, according to archive.org. The archived page is just showing the host’s welcome page, probably nothing was ever built using this domain.

SheepTech once had a PageRank of 7 in June 2008. That was of course only temporary. SheepTech now has a PageRank of 4.

The username sheeptech was registered on YouTube by someone else in May 2008. That account was created for his music project, and apparently he uploaded a video featuring techno music with a brief appearance of a sheep.

SheepTech.com now uses the username SheepTechTV on YouTube. Lesson to be learned, register your brand name as soon as possible across all social sites before it’s too late.

    Happy birthday to your baby. Your success encourage me much indeed. Good luck friend.

    I am only in the 2nd month of the way. Hopefully time passes more and better things come too.

    • Vincent - January 12, 2011 @ 4:01 pm

      Thanks Vuong. Your blog is quite successful in my opinion at just 2 months old. Maybe it will take a while more for the money to roll in, but you already have a very nice community there. Keep it up!

    SheepTech’s stats are very impressive. Wish you all the best for great years ahead.

      Thanks Pritam, cool blue spectacles you have there 😀

    Congrats and Happy Birthday 🙂

    • Vincent - January 13, 2011 @ 11:37 pm

      Thanks Mrinmay, and thanks for checking back regularly. Much appreciated 🙂

    PageRank 7?? That is sick! Even 4 is not bad. I’m stuck at 3 for almost 2 years now 🙁

    • Vincent - January 13, 2011 @ 9:48 pm

      That was just a glitch on Google’s side. People will be protesting in front of their Mountain View office if they award a few months old and relatively unknown blog a PR7 long-term.

      PageRank doesn’t really matter as long as your traffic and revenue is doing good (like CravingTech :))

      • Michael Aulia @CravingTech.com - January 14, 2011 @ 7:13 am

        Hehe thanks but unfortunately some private advertisers still use PageRank as a “measure of success” 🙁

        But as you said, I’m not bothered with it anymore. I used to check my PageRank every few months just to see whether it’s changed

  5. Friedbeef - January 14, 2011 @ 2:11 am

    Great stuff man – keep it going!

    • Vincent - January 14, 2011 @ 7:12 pm

      Thanks James. I’ve been a Friedbeef reader for quite some time, the time even before you change your theme to all green. I don’t remember how it looks like already though.

  6. poorblogger - January 14, 2011 @ 3:21 pm

    Wow. It ain’t easy to consistently writing. good achievement. get PR4 also means more opportunity to earn money.. good luck

    • Vincent - January 14, 2011 @ 7:14 pm

      Ideas don’t always come, but distractions almost certainly do. At times I will have several articles in the draft, and some other time, none at all.

      Good luck to your too.

  7. Dinesh - January 14, 2011 @ 7:00 pm

    Thats a great journey.
    I think number of posts for three years is less, but it shows the quality of your each posts.

    I’m in your side, instead of posting boring articles very frequently, we can publish useful posts with some gaps, since we are part time bloggers.

    Good luck for your future.

    • Vincent - January 14, 2011 @ 7:16 pm

      @Dinesh, if I only I can produce the same amount of work within a reasonable time frame. Maybe after I have graduated and have all the time for myself.

      Good luck to you too.

      @Hung Hong, Happy 2011 to you too 🙂

  9. Swamykant - January 17, 2011 @ 1:13 am

    Belated Birthday wishes to my friends’ blog – Sheeptech.

    All the best for 2011.

    • Vincent - January 17, 2011 @ 2:07 pm

      Thanks Swamykant. Same to you too, cheers.

  10. Ayush Chand - January 17, 2011 @ 8:45 pm

    All the best Vincent. I want to bring to your notice that the commentluv links are nofollow in your comments.

    • Vincent - January 18, 2011 @ 11:59 am

      Thanks Ayush.

      I made it nofollow intentionally to deter spams. Some bloggers force themselves to comment even when they have nothing to say, for the sake of a dofollow link. I don’t think that would help.

      • Ayush Chand - January 18, 2011 @ 1:51 pm

        @Vincent, Yeah most of the bloggers are like that these days.

  11. Suraj @Smartfatblogger - January 18, 2011 @ 12:33 am

    Hi, congrats on the 3rd year. Hopefully you will turn on more in the upcoming years!

    • Vincent - January 18, 2011 @ 12:00 pm

      Thank you Suraj, I will work harder to bring more growth to SheepTech in coming years.

  12. Jimmy - January 18, 2011 @ 5:35 pm

    Keep going man 🙂 Hope you will have a wonderful 2011

    • Vincent - January 18, 2011 @ 7:44 pm

      Hey thanks Jimmy, same to you too.

  13. Praveen@Techperk - January 18, 2011 @ 7:29 pm
