Good question, I have no idea. I have had over 3000 in the 17 months since I joined. It depends what you are writing about and if people are interested or not.
I think the RSS feeds help as well as pinging. (Ping from pingomatic. Com).
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
