A couple of years ago good buddy Joe Gresh told me he was going to do a listicle for the blog. My first thoughts were that a listicle was somehow gonad related, and if he was going to do one for the blog, he was really into the whole ExNotes thing. Nope, it had nothing to do with parts south, Gresh explained. Listicle is a mashup of “list” and “article.” It’s an article that contains a list, and Gresh had it on good authority from a magazine industry contact that listicles get lots of hits on the Internet. So Gresh wrote one and it did. Wow, I should do listicles, too, I thought. And I did.
Now, truth be told, hits are nice but what we really like is when you, our readers, click on the popup ads in our blogs. That’s how we get paid. Every time you click on an ad, we get paid. If the popup ads annoy you, click on them and the advertiser has to pay. And some of that money goes to us. See how cool this is?
Anyway, back to the listicle topic. We’ve done a bunch and we’re going to do more. I tried to capture them all (maybe I missed one or two), but here’s the list. Of listicles, that is. Yes, we are offering on the blog today a listicle of listicles.
