It's time to take a look at Bitmob's most-read community submissions from July! Ok, that’s enough clapping. Fine, you can keep clapping.

Alex R. Cronk-Young-Pitt-Jolie Jr. makes his second consecutive appearance on the Bitmob Big 10 with his heart-wrenching tale about people who don't own an HDTV. Gary Lucero and Jon Porter decided to pull double duty this month; each placed two articles in the top 10 – an impressive feat, indeed.

The top slot was taken by Niall Slater’s first-and-only Bitmob post. Nice job, Niall -- we look forward to reading more from you soon.

Do you want to be on next month's list? Here are some tips:

Catchy Titles: A great title goes a long way --  you'd be amazed at how much this matters. If your title doesn't draw peoples' attention, it doesn't matter how good your article is. You can easily double or triple your hits with a catchy and interesting title.

Format your articles: Short, concise paragraphs and pictures go a long way.

Encourage comments: Ask your readers to share their opinions.

Promote your work: Share your links via Twitter, Facebook, message boards, N4G.com, Reddit, and StumbleUpon

Good job, everyone. I see the Bitmob community likes RPGs...or articles about RPGs, at least.



Also, does Niall Slater's piece take the top spot for #1 article with the fewest comments? I mean absolutely no disrespect to Niall -- your article is great, man -- but I am curious to know.

Congrats to everyone who made the list! Reading through all of them has made me see that you're all very deserving.

@Aaron - It's a good thing you didn't put my full middle name: Russell-Thomas-Jonathan-Christopher-Walken-Taylor-Thomas. It might have looked silly all together.



Also, super pumped to get #3! I was crossing my fingers I'd get on the list when I saw the hits on that article rising past anything I'd ever written before, but #3 blows my mind.

Wow, I almost missed seeing that I was on this list. Surprised to be there since my article was really just a rant. But hey, who am I to argue?

Wow, wasn't expecting that at all. I agree with Nick. Thanks everyone!
