One post which surprisingly ranked #3 in terms of visits is a post on AdvertCube, since the post ranks #3 on the first page of Google for the term AdvertCube. I left it out of the top 10 though!

I also launched the first 2 contests on this blog in December ‘07. The first of which (The No Effort $100 Contest) has officially ended. I will be announcing the winner shortly. For those who did not participate in the contest, head over to the Agile Blogger Contest.
