While 2011 still has that new-year smell, I thought I’d do some quick “by the numbers” work.
As a regular writer (at least one post per week), I was curious to see which of my 2010 missives ranked most popular on the blog. What were the benefit auction ideas that you, the readers, liked?
If you’ve landed on my site and have no time for wasting, dive into these. It’s my CliffsNotes version of the Red Apple Auctions 2010 blog.
Your colleagues in the auction stratosphere found these to be the year’s “must reads.”
Here are the top 10 posts, starting with the most popular, as ranked by your click-through rates.

Sherry, I’ve worked with countless nonprofits over the years, many of whom held auctions of some sort. I’ve never seen anyone who provides the level of information that you do to help nonprofits succeed. Keep up the good work!!

Thanks, Sandy!
It’s always nice to hear that the information resonated with someone.
