How can a list be magic you ask? Well most of the time it isn’t, but if it is used correctly, it can be a goldmine for your Internet business. What kind of lists do you usually see on a site or blog? Mostly the lists are for the “Best Posts of the Week” or My Favorite Blogs” or something like that. Those usually don’t drum up a lot of traffic or a lot of steady readers.

But a list that is beneficial to all, could drive in a lot of traffic for you and your readers and give you a mountain of repeat readers and these readers could also spread the news of your list on their blog. The list has not been perfected by all, but a few have masterminded it to make the most out of the list.

A great example of this is 45n5.com’s Top 100 List for Make Money Online blogs. This list has the Top 100 blogs in this niche that has a link to each and tells the Page Rank, Technorati and Alexa ratings. This is not only valuable for the blogs listed as they get PR-5 blog linking to them, it gives them a perspective on how they are doing against other like blogs.

Now Mark at 45n5.com has went a step farther and extended the list to anyone that sends him a link and his list is now at 330 members. The most spectacular thing about the list is that Mark also includes a widget for the blog owners to put on their site to list the ranking. So if only a third of these listed use the widget, then he has over 100 links back to him alone and that is great for his SEO.

So the next time you need to give your blog a boost, then come up with a list that will benefit all and you should do great.
