This has been a big year, 1 year ago today the domain was registered and a simple blog with big dreams was setup. It like all great things started out slowly, and has gained a considerable momentum ever since. The site has taken off slowly, with some great milestones, including the 200 Feedburner subscribers and 1000 visitors in a single day.

There are a few companies I would like to thank for making this all possible, in no particular order:
Wordpress.org, for building the best opensource blog platform. Site: http://www.wordpress.org/
Godaddy.com, for providing rock solid hosting and support for x86. Site: http://www.GoDaddy.com/

Google.com, for providing a ton of a quality traffic and visitors, Site: http://www.Google.com/

These are few services, which are free or almost free which I have used over the past year:
Stumbleupon, great way to get people to see new posts Site: http://www.StumbleUpon.com/
MyBlogLog, easy way to build up a community around x86, Site: http://www.mybloglog.com/ (Note: Bought by Yahoo)
Feedburner, easiest way of keeping track of feed readers, Site: http://www.feedburner.com/ (Note: Bought by Google)
Google Analytics, quick simple site visitor tracking, Site: http://www.google.com/analytics/

These are a few services which have made this blog monetarily worthwhile:
Google Adsense, Commission Junction, Text Link Ads, Review Me, Linkshare, Regnow.com

Here are a Few figures from the past year:
