Why 45n5 has the Best Toplist

When I started blogging I joined a lot of directories and toplists hoping for traffic. That doesn’t work, however they do provide other services, one isn’t traffic. Why?

Because They Don’t Have Traffic

You can’t expect to get traffic from websites that don’t have much traffic themselves. I’ve never had much luck with top lists, if I did, it was short lived.

That has changed, since Blog about your Blog was named to the top 20 of 45n5’s Top 100 Make Money Online Blogs. I helped hype the list when it was first launched around September 9th.

The Results

Time to throw some stats at you. From being on the top list, we’ve received 390 visitors and counting. In September alone we received 291 visitors, which leave 99 for October so far.

If Blog about your Blog was listed on the top list on September 9th, that works out to be 9 (almost 10) visitors per day.

Guess what? We didn’t have to do anything either! Well, besides be a top blog, all we had to do was ask for inclusion. We didn’t have to install some code or script, provide our stats, or anything. It was all done for us.

Benefits

Mark has done a great job to market his top list. By sending traffic to the top list on 45n5, it is sending traffic to the other blogs. Traffic is a huge benefit, but it’s not everything.

To be named one of the top 20 “make money online” blogs, is an honor. The system isn’t perfect, but nothing is. If anything it is accurate, although it is missing some great blogs on the list. Since they are new, they don’t have the page rank to compete, but shouldn’t they have to pay their dues, like we have?

Not only is the list “honorable” to be mentioned with John Chow and Darren Rowse, but it also provides credibility. We’ve been around long enough, and worked hard enough to be recognized.

If you blog about making money online and somehow missed out on this list, you should definitely get listed.
