\nToday ProBlogger turns 1 year old. Despite its 1465 posts it’s only a baby still.\n<\/p>\n

\nI thought I’d do the normal celebratory thing and post a list of the 20 most popular posts from the last year<\/b> (in no particular order). Feel free to nominate your favorite ProBlogger moments\/posts\/series in comments below if you’re in the mood for a little ProBlogger celebration also.\n<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Blogging for Dollars<\/a> – One of the posts that started me off on the ProBlogging journey. While it appears here on this blog on 23 September it was actually written a couple of years ago on one of my other blogs and transferred here (as were quite a few of my first posts).<\/li>\n
  2. Adsense Tips for Bloggers Series <\/a>– Another older series of posts – popular in search engines but also because its up there at the top of my blog<\/li>\n
  3. Monkey Bar Blogging <\/a>– A post about not racing into ProBlogging full time without making sure you’ve got something to keep you going first (I send people to this post every week)<\/li>\n
  4. 2005 Business Underblogger Awards<\/a> – a Meme I ran earlier this year to highlight some of the less popular but great quality business blogs going around (it’ll be an anual award that I run)<\/li>\n
  5. Positioning Your Adsense Ads<\/a> – Very popular post – along with the whole Adsense category on this blog<\/li>\n
  6. How Much Do I Earn from Blogging <\/a>– This is a summary post that links to some of my posts talking about my earnings levels – they’d have to be among the most popular posts on the whole blog.<\/li>\n
  7. How the Most Highly Visited Blogs Earn Money<\/a> – An analysis of some of the most popular blogs going around and how they generate some amazing amounts of cold hard cash.<\/li>\n
  8. Search Engine Optimization for Blogs<\/a> – Basic Solid tips on how to get your blog climbing the Search Engines<\/li>\n
  9. The Importance of Title Tags in Search Engine Optimization<\/a> – Amazing how simple tips can have an impact – I got a lot of positive feedback from this one.<\/li>\n
  10. One Blog Many Categories or Many Blogs?<\/a> – This topic always generates a lot of discussion – we’ve talked about it numerous times on ProBlogger and it always causes controversy.<\/li>\n
  11. What’s wrong with Blogging?<\/a> – What happens when you give bloggers an opportunity to tell each other what they don’t like about blogging? An interesting conversation happens.<\/li>\n
  12. 10 Tips for Using Affiliate Programs on your Blog<\/a> – As the header say – going beyond Adsense and BlogAds to affiliate programs.<\/li>\n
  13. Blogging in Formation – Lessons from a Goose <\/a>– One of my famous (or should that be infamous) ‘tangent posts’ about being like Geese with our blogging.<\/li>\n
  14. Principles of Choosing a Profitable Blog Topic <\/a>– Another post that caused some ripples.<\/li>\n
  15. Converting One off Visitors to your Blog into Regular Readers<\/a> – A post I often refer people to that goes beyond attracting people to your blog to examining how to keep them there.<\/li>\n
  16. 31 Days to building a Better Blog<\/a> – A recent meme that generated some of the best posts I’ve ever seen on blogging – most of which were written on readers blogs.<\/li>\n
  17. Blog Case Study – Is it Time to Quit?<\/a> – I was surprised by how many people jumped onto this case study of a blogger who was quitting blogging and why he failed.<\/li>\n
  18. Strategic Blogging<\/a> – part of the 31 Days series that generated a lot of interest.<\/li>\n
  19. Generate a High Quantity of Content Series <\/a>– an older series of posts on increasing your post numbers.<\/li>\n
  20. Declaring War on Blog Apathy<\/a> – another 31 Days series that actually helped me out of a bit of a blogging slump that I was in at the time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \nI want to finish this post by saying that ProBlogger is the blog I’m most proud of – I enjoy it so much. A massive part of my love for it is the community that has been forming here. While the above posts might have been popular – what I’m most proud of about the blog is the collective wisdom and community spirit that I sense. I am continually getting feedback from readers that comments from other readers and friendships with other readers have helped them so much in their blogger – this is what it’s all about.\n<\/p>\n
