Then link to them. Offer prizes? That'll drive up your traffic. How about doing a league table of Bloggers who score over 1000 on Space Invaders? Then link to them. Offer prizes?

It really is a case of getting out what you put in! @ Dave & Gab; I probably don’t spend any more than an hour on any post on SEOmoz; probably because mine tend to be response pieces (so I just need to structure my ramblings) - but this is probably also the reason that I’ve yet to make the front page.

Other ROI like mindshare, free premium membership and some ohter benefits like the links you mentioned though, hell yeah :D. BTW, at Dave: My stuff tends to take 10+ hours! How do you pull it off in 2-3?? Agree with you folks too, though I’ve yet to see money in my pocket from it, concretely.

What time does it take to write the average YouMoz post? For me it is maybe 2-3 hours. That is WELL worth it when you consider the name you are making for yourself in the larger community in terms of potential referrals from within the industry AND direct clients reading what you write. My blog is lucky if it gets several hundred visitors a month. SEOmoz gets several thousand visitors a day. It's kind of a no-brainer! Ciaran, you’re absolutely right.
