Well the ProBlogger Top 5 group writing project was a pretty big success. My entry, Top 5 Moments in Classic Rock, already has 25 comments, most of which are trackbacks (dirty, link-leeching trackbacks, but that’s ok). I don’t have previous numbers, but my Technorati Authority is up to 27, and my rank is 181,095. I’ve also maintained an increase in traffic since then.
My guitar blog also saw a big spike in traffic with its top 5 post, as it had none before hand. It now has a Technorati Authority of 14 and a rank of 359,553. And, according to FeedBurner, it’s been averaging 30-40 visits a day now. Both blogs are far from the A-list, but it’s cool to see such a spike in traffic. It’s fun to be noticed.
To any new repeat-readers I may have acquired (or any that I managed to pick up before that), welcome to the show. I’ll try to entertain. I’m still learning for sure, and this was a big lesson for me. I’ll definitely be participating in more group writing projects. It was a great benefit to connect with others in the community and add a few blogs to my regular visit list. If you didn’t submit a post to this project, get off your lazy bum and do it next time, slacker.

It wasn’t my project. It was hosted at ProBlogger.com, and he does them somewhat sporadically.

ProBlogger is the most successful blog on the web. I think the admin do a hard work on it! I like it very much!

I just checked out that ProBlogger network; it looks like an excellent community for bloggers to collaborate and discover new blogging techniques that could possibly help earn you more money from your writing efforts. I hope it also helps me in the health and physical fitness department, as there is a lot of competition in that particular genre. Best of luck to ya and keep on blogging away in the blogosphere via cyber space……
