Bitmob's Big 10

We're a little late on February's Big 10...but we figured you're probably all so busy shooting Reapers with Commander Shepard that you wouldn't mind. (Yes, Garrus, I'm on my way -- just let me finish this first!)

Anyway, we've got a stellar list for you this month. Our authors are a mix of relative Bitmob rookies and long-time site stalwarts. They've covered a diverse range of current topics and delved into excellent analysis and criticism. Also, Donkey Konga is involved. So, you know, there's that. 

Here are the most-read community stories for February 2012:

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

 

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

Format your articles: Short, concise paragraphs and pictures go a long way. Check out our writing tips column, too.

Encourage comments: Ask your readers to share their opinions.

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