The list is his and Kaplan Publishing's and comes from his new book - What No One EVER Tells You About Blogging and Podcasting. To read about all of the above...buy the book
The order above is the order of appearance in Ted's book.
Full disclosure - I get NOTHING from the sales of Ted's book.
The reader gets a LOT.
One more thing....
Do you think your blog belongs on the list of successful blogs?
If so, send me a link and tell me why.
Hint, your explanation of why carries more weight than just a link that sends me wading through your blog to find something to read. I am much more likely to look to see if your why matches your what.
Enjoy!
