I find that 6 ways to grow your blog audience topic is really nice. Thanks for help me a lot on bloging
Your’e welcome! Glad it helped, I thought it was interesting, too.
Can I say “How I Made $132,339 Last Month Blogging” is misleading. the massive majority came from public speaking. Such click bait! Awesome tally and fantastic dude, and thanks for the link, but it’s not just from blogging. Blogging probably got him to where he is though! :)
All so interesting, especially how to attract more traffic. Like many bloggers, I’m always trying to flag down more readers. Its wonderful to hear new ideas. Thank you.
It’s the thing that unites us all!
Hi Stacey,
Thanks for the awesome resources, i always like to bookmark these, and actually read them ;-)
Interesting post by Neil, i know click through rates, bounce rate and other factors are important, but Cyrus from Moz actually said links are very important as of now in this post: https://moz.com/blog/backlinks-google-study. (Can You Rank In Google Without Links? New Data Says Slim Chance)
Also, i really loved this post recently: http://writetodone.com/boost-your-creativity/ (Boost Your Creativity: 7 Ways To Be Insanely Creative On Demand)
Keep the good stuff coming!

oh thanks Jasper – both of those links I just clicked on to read! Very pertinent for me at the moment.
As many people think taking time for link-building is a sure way to improve SEO, it’s actually creating “lots and lots of content” that’ll help your site achieve “SEO transformation” in Bing, Google, and YaHoO!
That’s true!
I’m happy you agree with me! :-)
Thanks for the concise list!
Great resources, especially the social media examiner post “6 Ways to Grow Your Blog Audience”.

Curious: is this link roundup something you are planning on doing at Problogger regularly, Stacey?
Very good question – why? (the answer is yes, by the way…)
Great list of resources Stacey. I have generally always loved Neil’s posts even though they are clickbait. Last time he wrote a post about making a lot of money buying expensive clothes. Figure that.
haha that makes no sense to me. But yes, sometimes there is a useful nugget!
