Nov 1	comment	Are software download sites generating sales? Thanks for your answer. Since I know my conversion rate as I wrote I obviously track them. ;) There are conversions from this sites but they are really nothing in relation to the ones resulting out of Google searches. So mostly they generate much more traffic with lesser sales. That's what kept me wondering.
Oct 31	comment	Are software download sites generating sales? Are you sure this still holds true? I was under the impression that Google is nowadays very good at ignoring such pages since all they do is linking content.

Aug 29	comment	How to promote a cooking software? @A. Garcia I'm working on it. :) Maybe you are right and this will get the ball rolling.
Aug 29	comment	How to promote a cooking software? I like the ideas a lot (and you are right about the price I suppose, I'll fix that).
Aug 29	comment	How to promote a cooking software? @A. Garcia Yes, I am german. To be honest I never would have thought using that as an advantage. :) I really have to overhaul some of the texts if it isn't clear what the program does. Thanks for the info.

Aug 26	comment	Freelance or Small Startup in germany One little correction. You don't need a university degree to work as a freelancer. There is a distinction between "Freier Mitarbeiter" and "Freier Beruf". Everyone can be the former. It just means you are not exclusively integrated in one company. The latter liberates you from the "Gewerbesteuer" but this is only available to very specific professions and can be open to debate (as it is with programmers).
Aug 26	comment	How to promote a cooking software? I think the advice is sound but I'm not sure I'm an engaging enough writer for that. Boring articles will lead nowhere I suppose. Maybe I should look for outside help.
Aug 26	comment	How to promote a cooking software? Thanks. Most visitors come from Google or Ask. Many are in search of a specific recipe, conversions here are very low. People who search for a program convert much better but I really neglected the english market until now as I did just realize looking into Googles keyword tool. There are a lot of competitors. Most of them look very dated though (on Windows at least), like an "Excel for cooks". I'm not sure yet I'm fit to do the kind of social marketing you propose being a totally unsocial coder and all ;) but I understand its value and I'll try.
Aug 26	comment	How to promote a cooking software? @John Bogrand Thanks. :) I wasn't sure if the direct posting of a link would be appropriate here so i didn't.
