…monetize your blog without driving readers crazy…
I like lists. It’s no big secret. Something about lists that approach 100 has a certain ring. 100 things means its usually a pretty deep, hefty resource. Sometimes there are only a couple of things on a 100+ list of resources that are helpful, but its because it is a big list that you are almost guaranteed to find stuff you didn’t know about before.
Blogging Tip: “Lists are tired linkbait.” Have you heard that before? Here’s how to get as much out of list-bait as in the old days. Go to 100! I know its very Spinal Tap of me to say so, but the list that goes to 100 is rare, and reeks of someone putting some serious work into a post. Lots of research goes into a quality list of 100 anything!
If all the blogs in your niche go to 10, then yours needs to go to 11!
This video should help you understand the concept of going to 11…

We’ve been doing humor hook linkbait on the web since 1995 at Zug.com
It would be great to get your feedback on the comedy linkbait angle!

Brilliant! The lists and the reference; o yeah, Spinal Tap you say?
