Here is a quick list of my most popular posts for the month of October, not even really sure if this is going to work because I am testing a new plugin to see if it will make this post automatically for me on a monthly basis.
- 10 Reasons You Suck as an Employee
Posted on Wednesday, October 7th, 2009 in Business BS – Comments: (42)When it comes to doing business and working in the professional world one would only hope that they would be hoping to work with professional business people that aid in the success of the company you work for, however finding that kind of help in today’s day and age is no easy task. I wanted to write a quick post about some of the frustrations of dealing with your bottom feeders or bottom 5%’ers, because as any manager or business owner knows the bottom 5%’ers can often work very hard at disguising how much they really suckInstead of writing the article from a manager or business owners point of view of what makes a great employee and how to achieve that, I decided to take the time to point out some key reasons to actual employees about why they suck as an employee.
- 16 Reasons Commenting on Your Blog Sucks
Posted on Thursday, October 29th, 2009 in Blogging Tips – Comments: (63)Even though I am a blogging CEO I still try to find time to work leaving blog comments on the bloggers blogs that are nice enough to come through my blog and leave comments here, it’s a great way to build traffic and network with bloggers. Not to mention you would be surprised just what you can learn by visiting other blogs and leaving comments on them, I recommend Feedly for managing rss feeds and comment monitoring.
- Extreme John September 2009 Recap
Posted on Thursday, October 1st, 2009 in Blog Milestones – Comments: (60)At the end of each month in some form of weird male celebratory fashion I ravage through my posts from the month and some of the things that went on here during the course of the month, and for some reason I seem to believe that some of you actually read it.The best part of the Extreme John Monthly Recap for me is getting to reward some of the top contributors and bloggers I have had the chance to network with over the course of the month, not to mention it’s a great way to get you to leave lots of comments and share the recap with your Twitter followers
Before we get started I wanted to remind everyone that the Extreme John $250 Fan Sign Contest starts today. - Halloween Costume Contest Picture Rewind
Posted on Friday, October 9th, 2009 in Extreme Tan & Smoothies – Comments: (48)The years keep blowing by and before I know it I will be rushing into the car the week of Halloween to snap pictures of all of the amazing girls and boys that work for Extreme Tan and Smoothies in their Halloween costumes for our 5th Annual Halloween Costume Contest.Over the years we have had some funny costumes and of course some very sexy Halloween costumes that have been worn by our indoor tanning salon associates, owners and managers.
- How Much is Extreme John.com Worth?
Posted on Monday, October 12th, 2009 in Blog Milestones – Comments: (73)I spent a few minutes knocking off some of the blogs in my feed reader when I came across what I thought was some pretty shocking news in regards to iBlogzone being put up for sale by the blogger that runs it, DiTesco. I was pretty surprised by the news because he has been working pretty hard on his blog and really has something nice going on over there, the site has a personality so even if he sold it the blog would probably never be as good.
- Sunday Smash Blogging Tips and Weekly Link Luv
Posted on Sunday, October 25th, 2009 in Blogging Tips – Comments: (54)Each week I post a recap of the excellent blogging tips and other great blog posts that I have collected during the course of the week and share it here on my blog, I also include links to my most popular posts over the last week as well.I call this series the Sunday Smash, which is basically my version of a mashup for the week and it gives me a chance to spread some Do Follow link luv on to other blogs that I check out, in some cases those bloggers are nice enough to shoot me a few backlinks in return.

- The Slacker is Back
Posted on Wednesday, October 21st, 2009 in Extreme Tan & Smoothies – Comments: (45)I very rarely do these middle of the afternoon blog posts unless we have something being released in regards to our tanning salon business or limousine business, my overwhelming guilt made me jump on here and give you an idea of what I have been up to. You know explain my reason for slackin’.It’s getting near the end of October and Halloween is just around the corner which in turn means that the holiday season isn’t much further away either, this is one of my busiest times of year.
- Twittley WordPress Plugin for Twitter Review
Posted on Wednesday, October 14th, 2009 in Blogging Tips – Comments: (46)When bloggers are looking for ways to share their articles with the world and on Twitter, there are all kinds of WordPress plugins out there that can help get the job done. I have written about a few of them on here in the past and have no fear trying just about any of them, I have written about the Twittley WordPress plugin as well as Blog Engage and Twittl.
- UFC 104 Predictions
Posted on Saturday, October 3rd, 2009 in Ufc – Comments: (55)As the mixed martial arts world comes down from one sick UFC 103 fight card it’s just about time to get ready for another UFC fight card that is packed with some killer fights, and this time around we are treated to a title fight between Lyoto Machida and Maurico “Shogun” Rua. It’s time for UFC 104 which can only mean one thing, well it actually means a lot of things but most importantly it means it’s time for my UFC 104 predictions.
If this worked than it looks like I ended up having it easy for my monthly recap all though I still need to add my most valuable contributors for the month, but I will make that another post. If you liked any of the posts you might have missed in October you might want to consider taking a second to subscribe to my rss feed or follow me on Twitter, don’t forget leave a comment I give out more than enough link juice on this Do Follow blog.

It’s looking nice..What’s the plugin which you are using for this?
Typhoon´s last blog ..Happy PageRank Day ;)
@Typhoon, I will review it shortly I need to see what I like and hate about it before I tell everyone about it haha.
@Extreme John, Okay Cool, I will be waiting for that article to roll in next few hours.
Typhoon´s last blog ..Happy PageRank Day ;)
Pretty useful plugin…looks like its displaying them alphabetically though, maybe it has settings option to list in descending order instead by number of comments
. Do you have a link to the plugin?
Thanks!
@Alan @ Glass Pipes, it takes a combination of most viewed and most commented to create the list I will have to go back through the settings again. I honestly set it up about 15 minutes before midnight.
Hey John, whatever that plugin is, we wanna know. This would be one extremely useful plugin. I got a feeling that judging from the usefulness of this plugin, it might not be free.
James Moralde´s last blog ..First Step Up Google’s PR Ladder
@James Moralde, hey James it is actually free and once I am done making sure it doesn’t get funky or have anything weird happen I will let everyone know.
I would never want to recommend a plugin to people that I haven’t really tested to make sure it’s ok ya know.
What’s the plugin, you know that most of us could find it useful
Karen@Blazing Minds´s last blog ..Weekly Round Up – Halloween, Interviews, CDbaby
@Karen@Blazing Minds, everyone will have it soon enough ;)
@Extreme John, I’m looking forward to a review of the plugin…

Hey John do you have a winner for the fan sign contest?
ZXT´s last blog ..My blog is 2 months old!
@ZXT, nope…… NOT 1 Submission… NOT 1.
@Extreme John,
Geez! No one had the courage to submit anything? I should have convince my female friend to do it…she could have won the contest.
ZXT´s last blog ..Sunday’s Babe of the Week
Awesome plugin. Need it, want it, please
BTW, I could not help but notice that you have changed you theme. I though you were going to use Thesis?? Anyway, it looks very clean:)
DiTesco´s last blog ..What Does Google Know About You?
@DiTesco,

I vote for the Why your comments suck as the most useful post for October. All bloggers should read that one.
Keith@Norman Rockwell Art´s last blog ..Oct 26, Norman Rockwell Museum: Making Vacations Memorable
Nice lil feature.. Now I get to look over your top articles for the month and see if I missed anything the first time around
Hard Rocking South African@Music Judge´s last undefined ..If you register your site for free at
Extreme John, I have always liked your monthly recap posts. In fact, I decided to use your idea and posted my first one, for October. Thanks for the idea. I noticed that Keg of Wisdom implemented it too. Not too shabby.
The Constant Complainer´s last blog ..Cell Phone Shots – Volume VII
Hah looks like everyone is focused on the plugin John is using.
But anyway you’ve listed some good articles and I especially like the 16 reasons commenting on your blog sucks.
Keep up the good work
