			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yep, next week is the MamaBlogga Group Writing Project II.  I finally came up with a good idea for the topic and I&#8217;m really excited to see what people will say about it!</p>
<p>Wondering if you should participate?  I recommend it!  Here&#8217;s why</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>It&#8217;s fun</strong>.  Really, it is.</li>
<li><strong>It&#8217;s challenging</strong> to fit into a topic, even though it&#8217;s really general.</li>
<li><strong>You don&#8217;t have to think of a topic for once</strong>.  Aren&#8217;t you glad I made your life a little easier.</li>
<li><strong>It brings you visitors</strong>.  I saw my traffic increase by 46% that week.  See <a href="http://www.mamablogga.com/mamablogga-group-writing-project-redux/">the redux</a> to see how many visitors I sent out last time.</li>
<li><strong>It brings you comments.</strong>  Almost 60% more comments.  Again, see <a href="http://www.mamablogga.com/mamablogga-group-writing-project-redux/">the redux</a> for details.</li>
<li><strong>It&#8217;ll make me happy</strong>.  I know that&#8217;s your ultimate goal in life <img src='http://www.mamablogga.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </li>
<li><strong>It&#8217;s a great way to find cool new blogs.</strong> I know I found a bunch last time around.</li>
<li><strong>It&#8217;s a great way for people to find your cool blog</strong>.  Maybe they&#8217;ll even subscribe!</li>
<li><strong>It&#8217;s a great way to make new friends in the blogosphere</strong>.  And we all need more of those, don&#8217;t we?</li>
<li><strong>It&#8217;s a free link that says whatever you want</strong>.  And let me tell you, those free links are hard to come by!</li>
<li><strong>It can improve your search engine ranking</strong>.  Pick a good phrase in your title and you can really see some traffic.  The free links from me (and others!) can help.</li>
<li><strong>It improves your Technorati authority and ranking</strong>.  Every link from a new blog moves you up the totem pole. One little <em>a href</em> at a time.</li>
<li><strong>There&#8217;s a prize.</strong>  Nominal, yes, but fun, too.  And no pressure&mdash;the prize winner is chosen totally at random, so everyone has an equal chance of winning!</li>
</ol>
<p>Hope to see your entry next week!</p>
