Thirteen Reasons for the Group Writing Project

Yep, next week is the MamaBlogga Group Writing Project II. I finally came up with a good idea for the topic and I’m really excited to see what people will say about it!

Wondering if you should participate? I recommend it! Here’s why

  1. It’s fun. Really, it is.
  2. It’s challenging to fit into a topic, even though it’s really general.
  3. You don’t have to think of a topic for once. Aren’t you glad I made your life a little easier.
  4. It brings you visitors. I saw my traffic increase by 46% that week. See the redux to see how many visitors I sent out last time.
  5. It brings you comments. Almost 60% more comments. Again, see the redux for details.
  6. It’ll make me happy. I know that’s your ultimate goal in life 😉
  7. It’s a great way to find cool new blogs. I know I found a bunch last time around.
  8. It’s a great way for people to find your cool blog. Maybe they’ll even subscribe!
  9. It’s a great way to make new friends in the blogosphere. And we all need more of those, don’t we?
  10. It’s a free link that says whatever you want. And let me tell you, those free links are hard to come by!
  11. It can improve your search engine ranking. Pick a good phrase in your title and you can really see some traffic. The free links from me (and others!) can help.
  12. It improves your Technorati authority and ranking. Every link from a new blog moves you up the totem pole. One little a href at a time.
  13. There’s a prize. Nominal, yes, but fun, too. And no pressure—the prize winner is chosen totally at random, so everyone has an equal chance of winning!

Hope to see your entry next week!
