66.000 visitors / month? Start a Linux related site on a LEB

Posted On // Leave a Comment

I am suprised by my Piwik statistics these last few months. Where earlier this year I had about a thousand visitors per month, that slowly increased to that number per day. And now it has grown even more:

The most popular pages are the VPN tutorials and the SSL tutorials:

Lowendtalk generates quite a bit of referrals:

Windows and Chrome are most used:

How is this Low End you ask? Most of my servers running Raymii.org (9 at this time) have =< 512 MB RAM. A few of them have more, but those are given servers or used for a different purpose (backups, Syncthing, Piwik, cipherli.st) and run the site as an extra.


The software used? NGINX latest with a lot of caching. The site is a static one, generated by my own software.


However, the adsense revenue is about $10/month, which seems quite low to me.


Any tips for me to keep this going? What kind of articles do you like to see? Layout changes? Other suggestions?
