So I own a technology news and reviews blog (Geeks Hut) and today I found out that CNET (the LARGEST technology blog in the world) linked to one of my stories as a source. They receive close to 5 million unique visitors a month!

CBS also linked to me too: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-205_162-575 ... years-eve/

The post is here: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-575617 ... years-eve/ and they link to me in the text:

In comparison, Apple revealed in October that its iMessage text service had delivered about 300 billion texts sent by iOS users during the previous 12 months -- an average of less than a billion a day.

I would have to say, this is a pretty cool achievement to be recognised by CNET! 😎

Wassssssn't really sure where to post this xP
 
Wow, all I can say is congrats. This is an awesome achievement and you should be very proud 🙂
 
Wow, that's amazing. They're linking to you as a "source" too, given the context. Congrats!

Have you seen an increase in traffic as a result?

Yeah, I can't actually believe it! Really cool achievement and my traffic is beginning to spike as well, hopefully I can keep it up and become more noticed by other blogs too! 🙂

@ Geff: I actually had an unexplained 420% increase in traffic recently which could've been due to this and I've also been ranking really well for image searches! I'm not doing well in Google Search, but in Google Image Search I'm getting a lot of traffic. I've got 2,000 UV through just one image because I list high for "iPhone 1" in google images! 🙂
 
Awesome stuff! And also to be recognized by a famous news station as well? That is really cool! You must be doing something right...keep it up!
 
Amazing, What news station was that?.

This sould be in the 'whats goin on' board. 🙂

Wow. Has the traffic increased already?

It must be if a famous news station is quoting some of his stuff. This is quite an honor, I'm sure. An honor anyone would love to have!

You're probably right, Dennis. It would be down to the staff to move it to the proper place though.
 
I would say congrats for hit the big time with a big fish in the market. I guess your hard work has paid off. I wish you all the best for the future and hope other popular sites link to more of your topics.

Regards,
Patrick

He said in his first post that CBS was one station. I don't know if that's a news station completely...I don't watch much TV at all anymore...and I think Cnet is like an online news site. I've heard of the second one, not sure if I've seen the site before or not.

Ah Now I know.

And i know cnet. 😀

Well, don't quote me on CBS, though, because I'm not 100% positive... I could be totally wrong for all we know. And actually, when I first read this post, I thought ZINC said CNN at first. Probably just a mark of how tired I was getting at the time, lol. But I think just about everybody's familiar with Cnet, though.
 
CBS is a national news outlet in the U.S.

Nicely done Zinc! Well deserved! I know how much you love that blog. 🙂

I was right, then! I figured that. I live in the US so of course I'd be familiar with it.
 
Every time I see your threads, I think: "Wow, his site has hit another level entirely." You've had incredible success, I hope you have more great things in the future as well. 🙂
 
Nothing to say other than congrats! I have been looking around your blog for a while now, and I must say, it is very nice to read!
 
Thanks everyone, I've been working hard and it's good to see it pay of by being recognised!
 
That's an excellent achievement ZINC, congratulations and very well done. Keep up the great work.
