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.
