10 EverPink Only For Moms Social Networking Websites

Above article of mine recieved huge amount of response.

Comments, mails, backlinks.

There were so many females mailing me and thanking me for the list. They recieved a place to hang-up I guess.

I made few good online friends due to the same article :)

My appologies, the above post I mentioned was actually posted in 2006.

My most popular post wasn’t even a favorite. It was written during a moment of crankiness after reading a blog post about how anyone can be a writer.

Freelance Writing: Not Everyone Can Do It

My post on
How to get up early in the morning? at http://positivensuccess.blogspot.com/2007/12/how-to-get-up-early-in-morning.html
was the most popular post for me. It got many diggs from readers and good comments.

Actually I do not include link to any post in body of comment in others blog and sorry here for doing this. I think it should be done here anyway.

Merry Christmas!

My most popular post is easily, Using the Rule of 5 For Blogging Success.

This was actually due to Problogger. I submitted this as a part of the 31 Days to Building a Better Blog series.

Thanks Darren!

And Happy Holidays to all of you.

Hope your Christmas was great,

My most popular article was Won’t You Be My Drinking Buddy Neighbor? It was picked up on BoingBoing, and then it kinda went crazy from there. I wish every article did this! :)

Hi,
my most popular post was an article of about ten lines which refers to an article in an economic newspaper. The article tells about that it is possible as am woman to have career an to have children.
I don’t understand why this article is on number one of my posts.

Have a good new year.

Hi Darren! I am still very young in this field so I do not have huge traffic yet and “fans” yet, but I guess this post was popular enough, and I think it was the most interesting one. Why Bloggers Should Show Their Own Pictures On Blogs They Own. Thanks for being my inspiration for this post.

My most popular post was promoting a great tailgating game and supply, the portable and inflatable beer pong table. It probably did not hurt that the photo that accompanies the post had a hot girl in a bikini playing the game. With that said, I know all the guys will want to check out the link:

Wonderful list to go through. Thanks for giving us all this great reading on a slow week.

I actually nailed an interview with Chad Pennington of the Jets. Before that, I was just a hack writer. I weaseled my way by interviewing his foundation first. Then I had them owing me a favor. A little while later I asked if Chad would answer questions via email and he did.

It actually gave me the confidence to start another blog about HS Sports in Northern NJ which gets more hits than the Jets website. I also started writing for the local paper covering HS sports.

My HS blog is http://www.ironhillssports.com

Top 50 Most Popular Video Sites was (is still) mine.

I wrote it for blog marketers to encourage video syndication for links and traffic, and it turned into a top visited page on the web for people looking for video sites to simply find new stuff.

It was crazy trying to figure out how to monetize the traffic from a top ranking with a phrase with almost 1 billion results. Especially since I wasn’t expecting to land in the top 10 in Google for several video site related phrases and attract a lot of people who aren’t the target of my blog content in general.

My most popular post was about how to implement an effective GTD- system using LEAN principles.

I was a series of 6 posts called “LEAN GTD”

Thans for a great blog, and happy new year!

My most popular post was a spoof about the imaginary Playstation 3 Emulator:

http://future-phobia.blogspot.com/2007/03/playstation-3-emulator-in-glass-of.html

Rather disappointingly, the traffic hitting this page has far outweighed that of any other “serious” content of mine :(!

The most visited post when I first published it started out as a link for my non-TV watching readers about the Prof. Randy Pausch lecture video on ABC News. Professor’s final lecture: live boldly

I had no idea how big this was going to be (I wasn’t looking for a big kill at the time it was a service for some online friends) and an hour and half later couldn’t even get into my own blog it kept timing out.

True most were from Google Search and Technorati links, and merely clicked on the link for the video. However, a significant portion came back and read other pages so my visit length and page views jumped a bunch that week. Even now I get at least 4 views from searches for this content. No comments have ever been left though and that is probably because I’m seen as a medium to the person with whom they wish to connect.

As long as your visitors can find you, that’s the main thing :)

My response to a meme challenge seemed to touch a lot of people–Turning a Negative to Positive with Just a Thought http://www.lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat.com/2007/11/turning-negative-to-positive-with-just.html I heard from many more people by email than in comments, thanking me for opening up another door to the Law of Attraction for them. I think that it got a good response because almost everyone wants to know how to change a situation that seems unavoidable but is also undesirable. I gave several examples of how I refuse to accept what seems obvious and have attracted more positive alternatives.

I have stopped checking the blog stats often, but one of my most popular posts of 2007 brought thousands of additional visits to my blog and even some links from other websites. It still brings in some traffic, but this is not the best post that I think was written on my blog in my opinion. The post was based on celebrity gossip which was published by some larger news outlets to be true and ended up being a very bad rumor.

After observing the behavior of people involved in the story on various sides of the matter, I have decided not to publish on celebrity gossip or celebrity news so much unless it relates directly to the topic of my blog in some way. The celebrity news and gossip brings a lot of traffic and many big sites like Perez Hilton and TMZ have become famous off of such news and/or gossip, but being a part of the gossip crowd is not the direction that I want my blog to go in, no matter how much traffic it would bring.

If I choose to post on anything celebrity related in the future, it will be about something that relates to their profession in some manner and less about their personal lives.

Here’s the most popular blog post on [GAS] for the year:

Fox News Changes Wikipedia To Smear Rivals; Comprehensive List of Changes

http://www.geeksaresexy.net/2007/08/14/fox-news-changes-wikipedia-to-smear-rivals-olbermann-and-franken-comprehensive-list-of-changes/

The article was pointed by some Times online journalist, MSNBC, and made it to the front page of most social networking sites.. It helped generate 100’s of backlinks to the blog.
