Despite of the lack of new content (will write more actively after I have cleared my last examination in August), SheepTech continues to grow, setting yet another new record in June with 43,468 unique visitors. That’s a 19% increase from the previous month. Alexa ranking however declined to 217,000 despite the traffic increase. Hmm?

Money Made

Sold a sidebar widget at $100 for three months, which translate to roughly $33.33 per month. Both AdSense and Infolink see an increase in revenue.

AdSense: $380.42 (+$70.64)
Infolinks: $78.65 (+$30.83)
Private ad: $33.33 (+$33.33)

Total: $492.40 (+$134.80)

Uptime

HostGator did a very good job in June, with 99.99% uptime (just 2 minutes of downtime).

RSS subscribers got a boost from ~200 to ~300, even without any new content being posted. Puzzling yet pleasing.

After getting a new look approximately a month ago, Google is further improving our user experience by rolling out a feature that allow us to select a custom background image for the homepage. Think Bing, but with you having control which image is being shown.

Photos can be selected from your computer, your own Picasa Web Album or a public gallery hosted by Picasa.

Macs are gaining more market share in the personal computing world and therefore attracting more attention to virus makers, spammers, keyloggers and thieves.

Fortunately, Mac users have many programs at their fingertips to fight this unrepentant scourge. Here’s a list of ten of the most useful Macintosh security applications on the market today.
