LiewCF.com 2007 Overview
In 2007, the traffic of LiewCF.com has increased over 2006 as well as the online revenue. My AdSense revenue increased over 100% than previous year.

Dedicated server hosting
To handle the increased traffic and increasing hacker attacks, I migrated the site to a high-end fully managed dedicated web server hosting.
To better handle the hacker attempts and various web attacks, I switched to LiteSpeed web server software, instead of the free Apache software. LiteSpeed did a good job to keep the server up and running all the time in any conditions.
As a full time blogger, keeping website up and running is a critical task. Therefore, I paid a lot for the web hosting and software and they worth the money!
P.S. Contact me if you need stable and reliable web hosting service.
hi Liew, your Popularity Context plugin base on what to judge the popularity?
Wow, 100% increase in adsense earnings? How much is that? by the way how much is your daily traffic for this site, can share? Congrats!!
@iCalvyn: the popularity context calculate different views, trackback, pingback, comments, and feed views.

Hi Liew,
Congratulation for your better performance in 2007. Hope 2008 will be better again for you.
Btw, how many sites you’re running?

100@% increase in revenues? Wow (that explains how you manage to subscribe to dedicated hosting. lol!). Best of luck Liew for year 2008.
Hi LcF, do we need to declare the income to the Income Tax department? I remember Adsense did ask us to submit some information for that purpose.
100% wow… More power LiewCF for year 08!
@Marco: yes, you need to declare any income to the Income Tax Department. The AdSense tax information is to be used in USA only.
Wish you have a better year in 2008. Don’t forget to belanjar me again ah. hahah!
