This is a great post, but it was published on John Chow 3 days ago.
I’ve seen same post on 6-7 other blogs.
one of the great post. Thanks for post.
Hey Daniel,
What happened? Article is not unique and no author byline is published here.
@Shazhad, the author had submitted the same post to several blogs, and I didn’t check it before publishing…
I removed the copied post and wrote a new one though. So yeah content is unique now, and useful in my opinion.
Hi some nice tips, I think number 7 applies to my site
I would like to add that reading other peoples blogs also help come up with some great blog posts.
Valuable ideas. I have noticed statistics really attract people. Thank you.
I think your ideas are awesome. The topics sound interesting and it would be great to have these as your posts. Thanks a lot for sharing!
A short list, but a good list at that.
Some sites I visit quite often, tend to do a mix of those ideas in your list.
Usually they tend to do quite a number of list and best of posts, then occasionally throw in some stats posts, to add a bit of variety.
I think you’ve pretty much covered all the most important points to making a great post. My favorite are the Top 10 tips and How-Tos because they attract more readers. I like the Top 100 but they’re they take time to write. Thanks!
@Daniel,
That’s nice. A bad move from the folk to increase backlink and it is a lesson too. This sort of move wont give extra backlink and it will hurt the author’s credibilty also.
Never follow such tactics
Hopefully I am using 5 ideas out of 10. These ideas are good because they can drag attention.
wow awesome post mate. i always post about top 10 and 100. now only recognize getting higher backlinks on that
Hi, Thanks for the great ideas!
They’re very insightful and I could use more backlinks for my product review blog
Many Regards,
Kelly
Hi,
I just started blogging a month ago. Thank you for your tips. It helps me a lot to learn how to do things better and improve my traffic. There is a lot of work but I am motivated.
Thank you very much again.
I like the top 100 lists type of posts… that’s why I name my website as 100webhosting.com! I am on the way to list 100 best web hosts!
This is very helpful to write popular posts.thank you
