Daily Blog Tips decided to kick start July in great style with a blog project called “Blog Project: Three” (complete entry list here). More than hundred blogs participated. No wonder when you not only have a chance to win money and raise your Technorati authority, but also gain a lot of new readers. As you can imagine was I mostly motivated by the latter as I wrote my contribution: What “The 3 Little Pigs” Can Teach You About Blogging. It took me several hours, but at least I think I came up with something, which is well worth reading and gives a good impression of what this site is about.

Speaking about well worth reading is the following my picks from the submitted articles. They are ordered according to my appreciation, but I highly recommend that you read all of them. I am sure I could have added more if I had expanded the focus, but I must admit to being picky both what the quality and the subject is concerned. There are just some subjects, which I am not drawn to regardless of how well the articles may be written. Hence are the articles that I picked similar to those that I feature my regular link posts.

L’Amour De Blog: 3 reasons why blogging is like being in love
“You unfortunate masses who’ve never experienced a deep, meaningful relationship with a blog have missed out on an achingly poignant truth: blogging is a lot like being in love. In fact, for thousands of dateless programming junkies across the globe (don’t look at me!), the blogosphere is the closest they’ve ever actually gotten to going steady.”

Three essential steps to great blog posts
“You’ve heard the mantra: content is king. If there’s one thing you must do to have a profitable, high-traffic blog, it’s provide excellent content. How do you ensure that you’re doing that?”

3 Surefire Ways to Advertise Your Blog on a Shoe String

“One of the greatest lies told in the blogosphere is “write better content to get more readers and more traffic.” Great content without promotion will always fail to reach wide audience. Some form of promotion is always necessarily, usually by getting links from a more popular site, or by having a reader base that promotes your content for you.”

3 Must Do Things For A New Blogger
“Few people have a misconception that they can earn good amount of money from first month. And we know this is one of the main reasons why most blogger’s fail. Though I’m not a Pro blogger or even an intermediate blogger, I can still give a few tips for the new bloggers.”

How To Sell Your Blog in 3 Easy Steps
“Selling a blog may seem a daunting task, but it doesn’t need to be so difficult or stressing. Perhaps what you need is the right system to assist you in selling your blog.”

Finally would I like to congratulate Daniel for coming up with a way to decide this competition that I have never seen before. What you see above are my votes in the competition. Everyone participating are to vote this way and when the deadline have passed all votes are counted and the posts that have received the most votes win. That way the participants themselves decide who wins in contrast to most blog competitions where the hosting blog choose the winner. I am sure this is at least the same amount of work for the hosting site, but it seems so much more fair and rewarding than simply having a winner drawn randomly or picked by one or two people. Unless they are real authorities on the subject of course. I am still not sure if it will actually work as intended, but we will learn that soon enough. If one or more of those I have linked to above wins (this project have three equal winners) then I will consider it a success. Otherwise is there something which need to be changed for me to use it at least.

UPDATE: Now that the results are in am I not entirely sure what to think about this method. On the one hand I actually managed to predict the overall winner by picking it as number one here and had another of my five picks finishing just outside the top three. On the other hand am I not convinced by the quality of the other winners. I guess deciding who’s sense of quality to rely on is one thing you need to do before picking how to decide a winner, while another is if you will be happy with the result regardless who picks. It thus comes down to whether you rather want to be happy with who won or how they were picked. You will never be able to please everyone either way so you may as well go the route that you are most comfortable with I guess.
