HOEI

I will admit right up front that I did not read all 893 posts from Darren’s latest writing project, and I do not plan to read them all. I did not get 893 visits to my Top 5 post so I know I am not the only one skipping a few in this list for one reason or another. I chose to read only the ones that caught my attention with their titles. From those I started bookmarking my favorites. Out of a few hundred posts that I did clink into, here are the ones I marked as favorite:

• Five Reasons to Participate in Group Writing Projects
• Top 5 ways to love your wife
• Top 5 methods to increase comments on your blog
• Top 5 Things Moms Should Keep in the Family Minivan
• My Top 5 Favourite WordPress Blogging Tools
• Top 5 Business Startup Myths
• Top 5 Tools Every Blogger Should Use (Or At Least Consider Using)
• Top 5 Steps to Redirect Traffic from Your Old Site to a New One
• Top 5 Free Ways to “Start” Generating Traffic to Your Blog
• Top 5 (+2) Ways to Earn Respect on the Internet
• The Top 5 Free Search Engine Optimization Tools

The above list includes blogs ranging from an Alexa ranking of 28,000 to infinity. That tells me that there are plenty of lower traffic blogs out there that appeal to me just as much as the heavy hitters like Darren Rowse. I just need to find a way to identify more of these blogs. Oh wait, I just did. I joined this writing project and followed the links to some of the other participants as suggested.

I have some others that I will call honorable mentions saved in a separate favorites folder. I will give them some attention later in the week. I also need to identify those who were so nice as to include me on their favorite (pick a number) list.
