Stuff that kicks ass (apparently)
I was just going through some stat information on my RSS feed and was suprised to find that my most popular articles there are not the same ones that those who come to my actual site seem to like viewing. I’m not sure why this is happening, but it does give me a chance to bring up some older articles from my archives that you might not have been aware of.
- 5 tips for riding the wave of success
- This article was written after one of my first signficant success with Stumble Upon and I was explaining to readers a few tips for staying on top of things and knowing when to leave sleeping dogs lie
- Firefox extensions everyone should have
- This was just a list of common extensions and their uses. I was really suprised it did so well on Stumble Upon and with just general traffic. Aside from one guy saying there was “nothing new” most everyone had a good reaction to it. Like I said I was surprised because there really was nothing new. It’s all extensions you find on the top extension list and all within 2 or 3 pages of the top
- The 2 most important things you can do as a blogger
- An article explaining two things you need to do in order to succeed as a blogger. Planning and setting goals.
- I have 3 reasons never to look at your blog again
- It’s fat (content). It’s ugly (poor writing). It’s mother dresses it funny (poor theme). Those are three reason that anyone will likely not return to your blog. By themselves not a big deal, but all combined and it spells disaster.
- How much money have you thrown away?
- You’ve been leaking money from your blog and you probably never thought about it. If you’re like most others and not thought about it you’ve also not thought of a way to stop the leak. You really should before it costs you anymore money.
Like I said surprising results as news related content seems to do the best from the website itself.

I agree with the boring man…this kind of self-examination is an element of very successful blogs, and I think that you are well on your way!

Boring - Thanks for getting back to me. I’m just curious how many people are getting here via Blog Rush and actually sticking around to participate. That’s why I asked. Perhaps I should just post a poll.
