Redmond Pie
Redmond Pie is an English-language technology news and tutorial website founded in 2008 by blogger Taimur Asad. It publishes short news items, product and software reviews, and step-by-step how-to guides, with a historical emphasis on Microsoft Windows, Apple iOS/macOS, jailbreaking, Android rooting, gaming consoles and consumer-electronics deals. The site is structured as a high-frequency blog financed mainly through display advertising and affiliate links to software, apps and Amazon product deals; access to content is free and no account is required. Target audience: tech enthusiasts, early adopters, mobile-device power users, and hobbyists interested in operating-system tweaks or unofficial modifications (e.g., iOS jailbreaks, Xbox hacks). Main features: continuously updated news feed; detailed tutorials with screenshots; curated daily/weekly discount round-ups; download links to firmware/tools; comment section for community feedback; social-media cross-posting (Twitter, Facebook, RSS). Types of content that perform well: breaking Apple or Microsoft news, iOS firmware/jailbreak updates, Windows how-to articles, lists of temporarily free or discounted apps, and major product launch coverage. Best posting times: industry tracking tools (e.g., SimilarWeb traffic by weekday) suggest Tuesday–Thursday generate the highest on-site engagement for comparable tech news blogs; Redmond Pie follows this with denser weekday posting and lighter weekend cadence. Recommended practices: use timely headlines, include clear tutorial steps and download links, leverage SEO keywords around new OS releases, engage with comments, and share posts quickly on social channels. Avoid outdated how-to content that is no longer compatible with current firmware, unverified rumors, or affiliate links without disclosure, as these reduce credibility. Other notes: Third-party analytics (SimilarWeb, Ahrefs) place monthly visits in the low-millions and show a search-heavy traffic profile (large share from Google). The site runs on WordPress and utilizes common ad networks and Amazon Associates links.
