I’m sure you’ve seen all those tips talking about how lists are very SEO-friendly and link-worthy, so I thought I’d make my own.

• Lists are good because people are lazy
• Lists are easy to read, even for lazy people
• You’re reading a list right now so it must be a good idea
• Look how many lists are on Digg’s front page
• Look how many lists are on any other popular social bookmarking site’s front page
• A good percentage of them are probably list posts, like the one you’re reading now
• Everyone likes lists, even ones that offer no real value, like this one
• Lists about absolutely pointless topics are a plus
• Lists are not only easy to read, but easy to write
• This post took me about 5 minutes, if not less

I hope you now understand the great importance of list-type posts in the blogosphere.
