Great idea. An idea you may want to use is finding someway to either bullet, number, or change every other tips color to distinguish from one to the next. One I think is valuable is writing with correct spelling and grammar.

Alex, thanks for your comment. I don´t want to number the list as it would look like kind of ranking which it is not. I took your idea about the spelling and grammar content and put it into the second article.

It’s a great list but I have to agree with Alex. If there is a number in the title it should be a numbered list.
Marco Says:

Ok, Matt, you convinced me. Just added the numbers. I probably shouldn´t make my readers count.

Are you really a tycoon? Do you read John Chow? I came to this post via my friend Court Tuttle to check out what you have to say.

I noticed #10! Very, very cool! This is my 1st visit here and I like what I see! I have subscribed and will be back!

Bobby, I do read John´s blog on a daily basis. About being a tycoon, please read my About-Page.

Tanya, thanks. I´m glad, you like it. Just subscribe like Bobby did, and you won´t miss a single post.

Guess which participant will give you the best return for your comment effort.
Table of Link Values of participants
Just a quick survey of how many links on each participants article page.
It will eventually be an article but I thought you would like to see the table. I was amazed!

Paul, thanks for the great list. But your site spending 0.5 of PR doesn´t help anyone with his comment efforts, because there is no way to leave a comment.

Great list Marco! Interesting to see where this develops, and looking forward to the rest of the series. Bookmarked!
Marco Says:

Thanks Rhys, glad you like it. Creating this kind of series is also perfect for finding topics. I won´t have to worry about an idea for a post for the next 19 ones.
(But I have an idea for the next series. )

#21 looks like one I need. I am usually editing a post 2-3 times after it is published.

Yes.. How to increase traffic.. It is one of the best topic for blogger …

Great list here Marco. I’m curious on one tip and that is why you’d prefer MyBlogLog over BlogCatalog? I’ve found better results with the latter as you can network much more there with unlimited friend adds daily. MyBlogLog allows only 15 per day.
Jack Payne Says:
November 3rd, 2007 at 6:44 pm
Great comprehensive list. Contains several things I’d never even thought about. But, I don’t understand any preference over Blog Catalog either. For my money they are the greatest.

In this blogging business you need all the help and good tips you can get. Talk is cheap because supply exceeds demand.
Marco Says:
November 4th, 2007 at 5:19 am
Of course, I know BlogCatalog. But I´ve never seen more than 2-3 visitors from them, so I decided to take MyBlogLog for this series, which drives - not tons - but quite a few visitors to my blog everyday.

Now that’s an incredibly ambitious list! Can’t wait to read all of the articles.
Marco Says:

Hey, one more subscriber there. Thanks Jason. I´m now half the way through it and it works very well. Don´t miss the other posts on this.

Entrecard brought me here too - like lots of others it would seem - should be added to your list. Thinking about starting a blog this year and your tips are very helpful. Thanks
