Oh man, whose idea was it to be honest about traffic numbers!?
December was bad enough, and I said I’d turn it around. But that just hasn’t happened yet. It’s discouraging to have to report these numbers, but here goes…
I’ve been making it a habit to post monthly traffic figures for my German History Blog (GHB). At the beginning of December I posted the November numbers, which were great (by my standards) thanks to lots of content on a very focused topic: the Berlin Wall and the 20 year anniversary of its coming down.

I’ve just come back from a long vacation during which I paid absolutely no attention to my online presence. Therefore traffic at my labor-of-love site, the German History Blog (GHB), is way, way down. I indicated in my last post about GHB’s November traffic that guest posting played a big role in improving traffic during [...]
I’ve been making it a habit to post monthly traffic figures for my German History Blog (GHB). In early October I posted my August and September numbers, and then in early November I posted my October numbers. Now it’s time to show November’s numbers..

I quit another online group which was filled with interesting information (that I was not taking advantage of), yet was almost 4 times more expensive than [...]
In a previous “woe is me” post about the lack of traffic at German History Blog, I indicated that I would update my traffic numbers here each month.

The echo I hear each time I post an entry to my special interest site, German History Blog, is the sound of my words bouncing around the empty ether. No one’s out there listening (umm, reading)! Well almost no one. I have a handful of users each day, but I sure would [...]
Mark Mason put up another fine podcast episode, his seventh, on Sunday. The topic this time around is Blogging, which is the sixth of a series on how to make money online. He has previously covered affiliate marketing, information products, eBay, membership sites and e-commerce sites. You can go straight to his [...]
This is about as off-topic as can be, but I thought this was an interesting article from the Chemnitzer Morgenpost entitled “Why doesn’t anybody here want to work?” (Check out the Google-translated version of the article; it gets the point across pretty well.)
The setting: Leipzig, a large city in the part of today’s Germany [...]
I’ve been — we’ve all been — hearing a lot about mind maps (or “idea maps”) and mind mapping software over the last few years. It seems to go hand-in-hand with things like Web 2.0, lifestyle design and — most definitely — mind hacking.
For a while now I’ve known very generally what a mind [...]
