I wanted to post this tomorrow which is the first day of year 2009 but after thinking about it, we should always look forward and not look back. So, another year has gone by and time passes by really fast. When I think about what I’ve done this whole year, I’ve spent a lot of time in work as I have to juggle between my full time job and the commitment of posting something here everyday. Yes I find it tough sometimes but it is all worth it because I know that there are some articles which will help those in need. The giveaways is even better because those security software can help to protect user’s computer so they don’t need to spend extra money in buying software license or service their computer during recession.
Many of you has helped to spread this website to your friends and you’ll be amazed by the amount of visitors I get every day. I believe by sharing with others, you’ll get much more in return. Let’s check out the year 2008 web statistics.

January and February statistics were not included in the year 2008 stats because it was hosted in another server and there is no way for me to import the webalizer data to awstats.. All numbers in the stats nearly doubled or more except Google PageRank dropped from 4 to 2. I noticed that sometime in the middle of the year, my Google PR went up to 5. I think the reason it dropped to 2 is because the forum was migrated from PunBB to vBulletin which caused thousands of links to become inaccessible. On December 2007, the average daily unique visitors was 36000+ and now has increased to a whopping 70000+!
I have to admit that somewhere at the end of the year I got out of track by writing articles “for” people. It’s not wrong to do that but my style has always been writing what I learned about computers and interesting finds on the web. That has always been the reason why this website ever existed. I will try to always remember my style of writing and hope that it’ll benefit everyone who is reading my posts.
I know it’s new year’s eve and probably most of you are getting ready or resting for tonight’s celebration. If you have the time, please leave a comment letting me know which article I posted in year 2008 that you like most or really helped you in some ways. If I ever been rude, childish or made anyone unhappy, I sincerely apologize for that. I’d also like to thank everyone who has helped to spread this website to others and forum members who diligently helped other users. Here’s wishing you all a very Happy New Year and I wish that year 2009 will be a better year for all of us! CHEERS!
