I like this article because it is reasonably short, but very clear and highly actionable.
This compliment is particularly effective because it's specific, verifiable, and true. I've never been very good at accepting vague compliments -- I tend to get embarrassed and self-conscious -- but more specific compliments are really nice.
This explanation of why the complementary comment on the article was effective is itself effective, because it gives specific reasons why the complement is unlikely to evoke the embarrassment sometimes associated with more vague complements.
