Switching to Mac
Blog
Welcome to Switching To Mac – one of four tech sites belonging to the AK Internet Consulting (AKIC) media network.
Our mission is simple – to bring you the very best the Internet has to offer, and to explain tech in an easy-to-understand way. We realize that not everyone understands tech perfectly, which is why we try not to overwhelm you with industry jargon and hard-to-understand instructions.
We’ve been around since 2007 and we’ve published thousands of articles that have been viewed over 350 million times over the last decade. For our two main sites, Online Tech Tips and Help Desk Geek, we average about 70,000-80,000 visitors a day and between 1.5 and 2 million page views a month on each site.
Switching to Mac is our newer site and currently gets around 100K page views a month and is growing rapidly. The main purpose of Switching to Mac is to provide readers with daily tips, tricks, tutorials, and news related to all things Apple, including Macs, iPhones, iPads, Apple Watch, Apple TV, OS X, iOS and Apple accessories.
