It’s not that I’m expecting people to search for a “Top 10” phrase; it’s what comes after it in the title I try to think of what people would search for, and they would click on the link because it is a top 10 list.

What do you mean by “short”, most of my posts are close to or over 500 words long? (Some user-made posts are really short, not that it means they’re bad though)
Since my site does cover a broader range, doesn’t that also mean more potential for different sources of links?

I think your key to success it to somehow generate a buzz, maybe by focusing on the controversial top 10 lists and making sure you post them like crazy to blog sites. If you have some kind of budget, you may want to recruit friends to setup lots of accounts on the various sites so they can favorite some of your posts and do other 'blog outreach'. |
Are you saying (from a SEO standpoint), that my site has very little chance of generating traffic, and I shouldn’t focus as much on building links, rather on “creating crazy lists” of just one topic?
Also as I said in my first post, I don’t have that much money, whether they do it for free or not, I don’t know.

I don’t have any video making experience, nor the tools to create something spectacular for youtube.
