Thanks to the Vidahost cloud hosting service we’ll now be able to grow smoothly throughout 2013 to become the leading nexus tablet blog in the UK, if not the world!
I’d like to take this opportunity to share some of the site’s stats with you.
Blog
We are proud to have published just over 100 posts to the site’s blog, covering a whole range of subjects such as:
- Handy “how to” guides
- News on the latest Android updates
- Picking out the best tablet deals on the web
We’ve also published a useful accessories list, a popular getting started page, a comprehensive buyer’s guide and our famous app pack has helped thousands get going with some of the best apps for the Nexus 7.

Forum
First off, a massive thanks to the regular posters on the NXTab forum. Getting a new forum off the ground is a massive challenge and I wouldn’t have got anywhere without your help!
So a big thanks to all those that have registered and posted!
To date we have:
- 280 registered members
- Around 300 threads
- And over 3000 forum posts!
With new areas for tablet app development and the new Nexus 10 tablet I look forward to watching the forum grow faster and faster!
Whilst we can’t compete with the highly technical XDA forums, or the commercially run sites, our friendly little community blog is starting to carve out its own niche for supporting new owners and a range of UK specific tablet issues.
Web traffic
Traffic has continued to grow steadily month on month and I’m really pleased by how the sites is continuing to get recognition both around the web and in the search engines. We are now receiving referrals from 100s of different sites and rank number one in the search engines for some key terms.
Since the site started back in August, we’ve had almost 80,000 visitors who have viewed close to 200,000 pages!
This is really good going and I think the site has done well to notch up these numbers in a little over three months.
Social media
I had never really got into Twitter before, partly because I didn’t have a lot to say, but also because I had no readily available way to access it.
My Nexus 7 changed that. The tablet gave me the perfect view onto Twitter, and thanks to my burgeoning interest in the Nexus tablet range I finally had something to talk about.
Since then we have:
- Tweeted 18 times a day on average
- Built up over 300 followers, a number that is increasing consistently every day
- Shared top tips amongst Nexus owning twitter users,
- Spread the latest news from around the web
- Tweeted out Amazon’s free app of the day
- Highlighted a range of deals on tablets and accessories.
A big thank you to everyone who has ever replied to or retweeted one of my posts.
If you are on Twitter be sure to follow us right now!
I haven’t spent much time working on the NXTab Facebook page, afterall there is only so much a one man hobby operation can do!
However the page has been growing in popularity and we recently broke through the 100 Likes barrier. Admittedly a small mile stone compared to many sites but nonetheless it is proving to be another community area for Nexus owners.
If you are a Facebook user (and that covers about a billion of us!) then please drop by and Like our page!
Where Next for NXTab.co.uk?
NXTab will continue to track the progress of the Nexus tablet range, we’ll be posting up more user guides and continue to help out fellow tablet owners on the forum.
I expect the focus of the site will remain on the Nexus 7 (mostly because I own one) but we’ll be covering news on the Nexus 10 and any stories relating to the brand and of course updates on Android.
Thanks for reading and I look forward to growing the site with you in 2013!
