Who Knew That I Was So Popular in Germany?

While I’m waiting for the 10:00 reversal…

I just happened to check my site stats a while ago and noticed I had an unusually high amount of traffic this morning. Over the last couple of weeks I’ve gotten a ton of hits from people searching for “Trader Monthly Magazine”. That’s also the reason today but this time the vast majority of searches are from Germany. I always wonder why these big crushes of searches happen. I think it’s usually because of a TV mention… apparently without a URL mention. Whatever’s causing it, that magazine has certainly gotten very popular in Germany today. Here are some graphs of my traffic:

It always trips me out that my site often gets listed above what I’m linking to in search results. If any of those sites want to hire me as a consultant I’ll be happy to show them how to get top listings on Google! :-) At least the guys at Trader Monthly paid for an ad on Google (apparently US only b/c the ad doesn’t show up on Google.de) to get the top spot.
