It's more of a personal preference. When I started writing the blog, the "top 10" was the craze and often offered no details on the topics. Such as "Top 10 ways to speed up your blog! #1 Cache, #2 Plugin administration" without offering explanation as to what caching is (for the non-tech audience) and how to get it working on your blog.
I have a couple of "top 10" articles, and while they do very well (like you said, people love them), I'm not too fond of them.
:) Anyways, I keep up ads to pay for hosting and such. It's not a big expense but it helps to have that covered!
- kafkaesque 14y agoThat's true. Another thing to note is that including numbers in titles also attracts more clicks. On our business blog, we've had varying success with that, though. Good luck with the blog! :)
- lostlogin 14y agoAs s user, I avoid top 10 lists as the multiple pages are too annoying.
- antjanus 14y agoif I had a top 10, i'd put it on a single page cause I'm not an asshole. How do you feel about those?
- lostlogin 14y agoWay better! I can't recall ever seeing such a beast though. The main culprits that come to mind are news papers (all the ones I read - Independent, NYT, Guardian. A junky tech sites.
