ATTENTION AUTHORS: As of December 2011, I am no longer taking review requests.

Please do NOT contact me asking for a review. It will be immediately deleted from my inbox – I won’t even open it. I am overbooked and need to catch up before I can accept any more requests.

(If I have worked with you before or know you personally, this does not apply to you. Please send me an e-mail; I might be able to squeeze you in!)

Thank you for understanding!


Blogger Appreciation Day: May 2010

I posted this last month and found it neat to see where my visitors are coming from. I’m excited to do this again, and to see how things have changed over the past month. I think this is a great way to say THANK YOU to those who have sent readers your way! This was started by Kelli at 3 Boys & a Dog.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Go into your tracking service (I use Google Analytics) and set the time period for April 1st – April 30th.
  2. Find the sites that have referred readers to you and put them in order from most sends to lowest.
  3. Write a post (like this one) listing your top 10 referrers.
  4. Link that post up in Kelli’s MckLinky, which isn’t up yet – she posts hers on the third.

It would be appreciated if you could link back to this post, you know – return the favor! ;-)

Without further ado …

Thank you to my top 10 referrers for May!

  1. Crazy for Books ~ 27 <– new to the list!
  2. Top Mommy Blogs ~ 24
  3. Our Mommyhood ~ 19 <– new to the list!
  4. Book Faery ~ 12 <– new to the list!
  5. Bloggin’ ‘Bout Books ~ 7 <– new to the list!
  6. Winning Readings ~ 6 <– new to the list! ***TIED with #7 – listed in same order as on Google Analytics***
  7. The Magoos News ~ 6 <– new to the list! ***TIED with #6 – listed in same order as on Google Analytics***
  8. Busy Moms Who Love to Read ~ 5 <– new to the list! ***TIED with #9 – listed in same order as on Google Analytics***
  9. My Wee View ~ 5 <– new to the list! ***TIED with #8 – listed in same order as on Google Analytics***
  10. Around the World Tours ~ 4 <– new to the list! ***TIED with #11 – listed in same order as on Google Analytics***
  11. Page Turners ~ 4 <– new to the list! ***TIED with #10 – listed in same order as on Google Analytics***

This was kinda tricky this month, as I had to combine the analysis between this and my previous Proud Book Nerd (on Blogger). Finally, next month, it should be simpler! LOL Only one of the referrers was on the last list. All the others are new. THANK YOU, everyone! :-)

(I do not list engines, Twitter, FaceBook, etc… I list bloggers and mom entrepreneurs!)

      It's very, very easy to use. And it's free. :-)
