Ghacks Turns Six Today, Lets Celebrate

95

When I first started the Ghacks Technology News blog back in October of 2005, I did not really have any expectations whatsoever. If it would be there after a year, that would be fine. If not, nothing was lost. I also did not really think about making money with the site, or even -gasp- quit my regular job to become a full time blogger. Well, everything changed when the site became popular.

In the beginning I worked two jobs, Ghacks and my regular one. This was a pretty hard time as I had to work before I went to work and after I went home on the site. I was lucky back then that I never experienced any serious down times when I was at work. I'd probably would have taken a sick day or day off then to be able to fix the site.

When the site started, it was all about a tool that a friend of mine had created to make advanced Google searches from the program. It was very handy at that time, but it somehow got dropped along the way. That's actually where the name Ghacks comes from, Google Hacks.

The day that changed it all was when the guide Using Google To find Movies made it on the homepage of the then popular service Digg. The site, only active for about a week, received tens of thousand of visitors from that exposure. I was lucky enough that I added Adsense some time before to the site. When I found out that the site made more than $100 on that day it made click and the idea was born to make this more than a hobby. Without that, Ghacks may have never become what it is today.

It has been six years now and Ghacks is still more or less a one-man show. Sure, I hired some authors to add different perspectives to the site, but it is me who administrates the site, watches over its financials and contributes to the site on a daily basis. It is a full-time job. Surprisingly though I'm still motivated and do not have that nagging feeling that I do not want to "go" to work because work sucks. I love it.

Now that the site has turned six, I'd like to thank each and every one of you for being a visitor, reader, guest, contributor or whatever it is you are to the site. Without your help, Ghacks would not be where it was today, and more importantly, I would still work my 9 to 5 job.

To celebrate the event, I'd like to provide you with the opportunity to win one of ten Ghacks t-shirts. You can take a look at both available shirt designs here:

The shirts are of high quality. I still have the first shirts I ordered a few years ago when I started offering merchandise.

All you need to do to win a shirt is to comment here on this thread, or mention the birthday on Twitter, Facebook, Google Plus or any other site on the Internet (that you are allowed to post on and where it is appropriate).

I pick the winners and contact them asking for their shipping address, t-shirt they want and size. Please note that some black shirt sizes are currently out of stock. It may take some time before they become available again. Good luck everyone.

Update: The winners of the shirts have been notified by email, they are: Paul(us), Ivan K., JFP, JimT, Tinwheeler, Kalmly, Mouser, Midnight, Johan Gustavsson and Matias.

Thanks to everyone for all the great wishes and praise, that was really nice for a change ;)

    I’m one of those who spend as much time tweaking my system as using it for work and play. Once I discovered your site early this year, I became an addict. I check it 3 to 4 times a day and it’s a rare day I don’t find something I can not put to immediate use.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

      I would not say I’m anti Windows 8, I’m just criticizing what I think is wrong with the operating system. Microsoft has enough time to fix those issues and if they do, I will buy it on the first day it is released.

    Congratulations Martin! I think you are the hardest working blogger in the tech work, and very very talented! and the main reason I started to use RSS, so I won´t lose any of your articles! If you still have a red shirt, I´d proudly wear it in Brazil! Thank you, and a virtual toast to you!

    Congratulations, gHacks.
    Six years. It’s hard to believe.
    Including being six years older ;)

    I have been reading gHacks since its start.
    I’m not sure what brought me here but
    it was clear this site was different.

    If there ever was a must read site gHacks is it.
    There are a lot of tech sites out there but for
    my money gHacks is simply the best.

    And the reason for that is the man behind the vision.
    Martin, you have excelled where others have failed
    consistently making gHacks stand for excellence.

    Thanks for all the helpful advice and tips over the years.
    I’ll pass on the T-Shirt pool although they do look great.
    Coming here every day is more than enough reward.

    Congratulations Ghacks on six years of innovations. This is the first website that i ever visit if i needed any application. The bandwidth of your servers is very fast. Ghacks is the best ever known, based on users reviews and tests and giveaways. Your solutions have helped millions(and me) of users understand that reviews to a new PC, software any application. which is already very good and much better and ghacks into the most easy to read and important website.

    Ghacks was a great website, is a great website and will remain a great website as long as Martin is here. Ghacks contains tonnes of articles that I read everyday. I also thought of contributing to Ghacks forums but it looks as if the forums are dead. I have often referred people in the Mozilla support forum to your articles. And I plan to share some of your articles at My Blog.

    Please don’t send me Ghacks T-Shirt.

    It’s great how ghacks evolved from its simple beginnings. I’d even dare say Ghacks’ story is one of those rags-to-riches story of fame. Who wulda thunk a mere, and from its early days obscure, Google hacks site turn out to become a wealth of technology news blog, and among the popular ones at that? ^_^

    Congratulations Martin! I suspect you’re one of the hardest working bloggers out there and I guess it’s not easy blogging in a language which isn’t your native tongue.
    As a (part-time) blogger myself I know how much time goes into just one post, but you have a phenomenal output 7 days a week.
    I wonder if you could give us an idea, on average, how many hours a week you spend blogging? Do you have much time off? I suspect not!
    I also have a tee-shirt already so count me out on that one.

      I’m probably spending about between four and eight hours per day working, which can shoot up to 16 hours when something goes wrong with the server or advertisement ;) I try to reduce the output on weekends to a few hours though to get some off-time.

    Congrats and Happy 6th Birthday Ghacks !!! Wishing you very prosperous future and may all of your wishes come true. Is it so great to see someone with so much determination and focus to succeed and fulfill his dream. For some reason, while I was reading the article, this so much reminded me of myself. Regular job+My blog+GeekTech Solutions it is a handful at times and I had so many late nights it is not funny.

    Martin, you are a true inspiration! I wish you all the best in the future.

    Regards,
    Ivan K.

        The T-shirts designs are awesome. My preference is the Black one!
        Great job on the designer’s part! :)

    Time flies better with Ghacks (International Weblines) :)
    I happen to be one of the many regular Ghacks readers, and also I often notice the site refereed to on several web pages. What I appreciate is the multiplicity of topics, always affordable for newbies even when the matter is sophisticated, hence an incentive to know more and better.
    Happy birthday Ghacks, and congratulations Martin.

    Congratulations Martin and thanks for all the good info over the years!

    But NO, I do not want another ghacks t-shirt (unless you get some long sleeve ones).
