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.
