After years of being second to Wikipedia, mram-info is now #1 in google SERPS (mram keyword).

Cool. It might take years for the technology to mature, but I’m ready

I finally finished working on my current 5 sites.

OLED-Info has been updated to a CMS system (drupal). This was a lot of work (mainly to convert the old data), but it’s been worth it. Traffic has gone up, and page views has a doubled. Revenue has also doubled, more or less. I’ve got in touch with several more OLED companies, and should post some new interviews pretty soon.

U3, Spintronics and ExpressCard have been updated. I’ve made a new template (graphic wise). It looks lame, but it is at least consistent with my main sites, so it’s easier to work with. When/If the traffic will grow, I’ll have someone design the sites with good looking graphics.

Results of all this work? October has been the best month ever (both in AdSense revenue, and in total Metalgrass revenue).

So now I have to decide what to do next. More small sites? Or maybe start working on a larger-scoped project? Or invest even more time in OLED-Info? Not easy decisions.

Google updated the Pagerank (PR) of MRAM-Info, to 6. This is rather high, and I’m happy!

My work on the upgraded MRAM-Info is now finished. The new site uses Drupal CMS. It now supports comments, users, tags, RSS feeds and lot’s of other features. It will also be much easier for me to update and organize, which is good.

Check it out and tell me what you think (and report any bugs if you found ‘em).

Freescale is now selling the world’s first MRAM chip. It’s only 4Mbit, and it costs 25$, but it’s a huge achievement. There’s a big traffic spike for MRAM-Info, lot’s of people are talking about this. I got several nice links, even one in an article by the BBC, which was on the front page (I got a few thousand visitors through this link in one day alone).
