(Yes, it was an experiment. Sort of . . . ;) ) Michael, thanks for commenting. Glad it was useful! Josh, thanks for stopping by and commenting. Since I've been away I've realized a few things, namely, the so-called link baiting that is generally referred to is not exactly the way I want to do it now. I have some new ideas about writing posts. I'll write more about that in an upcoming post though :) I look forward to reading your blog.

I learned a lot from this post actually and will likely do my linkbait differently after this. I am most interested in uplifting, helpful, fascinating posts rather than the fear-based sort. But in the interest of blog science, I have done my duty and tested this, just to be sure. Wow, 14,000 is pretty significant. Although I'm not surprised, you have a very well-written blog with excellent information presented extremely clearly. Look forward to reading more, in fact. And I'm flattered you liked my article and honored you stopped by. More praise like that and I just might write more often . . . ;) See you around on the 'Tubes! Hey Arachne!

I'm still practicing, but I think it really does just get down to getting a feel for writing according to your reader's curiosity factor. If you do it well, people Stumble, Digg and bookmark you and you're on your way. It doesn't hurt to prime the pump a little though. IOW, get some friends to Digg or Stumble your story. @reversemortgage: I think you're right. It's a great challenge to help improve one's writing skills in general as well. Thanks for commenting. @Diane: Thanks for commenting, Diane--very glad it was useful. I'm a big advocate of video training. @Stuart: glad you liked it!
