Top Ten Lists For Linkbait

Found a cool page today that will help with brainstorming linkbait to develop for your blog.

Blogs.com has a top ten list on all kinds of topics.  It ranks blogs in different market niches in nice, tidy top ten lists.

This can be helpful if you are starting a new blog and need to check out the competition or connect with the movers and shakers in a particular niche.

It can help you find guest-posting gigs for popular blogs in your niche, along with helping you to discover their most popular content for ideas on linkbait topics that have worked for them.
