I'd normally be doing one and three but considering 'eye candy' now that you've mentioned it. It might also serve as something funny that will generate comments and hopefully, more links.

If you look at guys like Tim Ferris (www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/) author of the Four Hour Work Week, it becomes evident that much of his fame and marketing was a result of his ability to challenge the norm but back up his points at the same time. The tile of his book is a true testament to this. As Phil has mentioned it is important to measure and back up your research statistically. The problem with doing this is that it takes time. Try and record data on a day to day basis about things you are interested in. As this becomes habit you will start to realize that many of the things that people truly believe aren't really how things are. Write an article about it and use the data that you've collected. Make sure to come up with a catchy title that will catch everybody's eye. Good Post. I will definitely take some of these and try and implement them to get my blog going.

Even though attacking a product or service can get you links on a short-term basis, it can also quickly destroy your reputation on the web. If you have to do this, make sure you have solid arguments to support your claims. I would put it another way: Write content with an edge. Don't be politically correct. Shake things up.

That's one of the biggest satisfactions I get from blogging and operating my tutorial website. Emotional reaction and connecting with your readers is also very important to me because everyone knows blogs should be a one-on-one conversation with your readers in a simple and easily understandable language.

That is seriously one of the best quotes ever. I'm sure other people have said the same thing, but it rings incredibly true when it comes to being a link magnet. I find that short useful list posts seem to get some attention, but massive lists seem to get more attention (perhaps because they are "more useful"). I also had never really thought about eyecandy. After reading about Probloggers 250,000 pageview day on his photo site, it should have clicked... As I'm sure you already know, Awesome tip! “Or you can think about it like this – would you get all excited about the post you just finished if it wasn’t yours ?” That is seriously one of the best quotes ever.

I forget who did that but they certainly succeeded in frustrating everyone.
