  1. Hello Luis,

    Great article and very useful information.

    It’s a proven fact that people love lists. I think the “how-to” lists are the most effective. People are always searching for solutions to problems and providing them with answers will not only get you more traffic but you’ll keep those readers coming back to your site/blog.
