Blogger Appreciation Day- November 2010

Sharing is caring!

3Boys&aDog

It is that time again where we reflect on our blogs traffic, growth and improvement.

There is a great blog I follow- 3 Boys and a Dog. The author, Kelli, allows us to all link up once a month and share our growth and give gratitude to those sites who have sent traffic our way. It is a great opportunity to learn from one another, but most importantly, thank the sites that are referring traffic to you.

Traffic lands on your site one of three ways- directly, refereed by another site, or by search engines. Here is a break down of mine for the month of November:

Almost 80% of my traffic comes from other blogs, websites, feeds, linkups (also known as memes or blog carnivals) and social media outlets. 
Here are the top ten sites who referred traffic to my blog during the month of November. And to them I say a big thank you! 
: :
We Are THAT Family– sent 724 visitors to my site. Seriously! She offers a weekly link-up (meme/blog carnival) where we all share things that work for us. I participate every week. So I am here to tell you that linking up does help you increase your exposure.
Org Junkie– sent 566 visitors to my site. Every Monday I link-up with hundred of others and share my weekly meal plan. Again, participating in these link ups really help increase your traffic and help you get found.  
Creative Party Place– sent me 111 visitors in November. I have shared many of my birthday party ideas over on this site over the last six months or so and readers are still visiting my site from these link-ups.
Eat at Home– sent me 80 visitors. Not only do I love her site and regularly create her recipes for my family, but we are also part of a Better Living Network together. In other words, networking rocks!
Tip Junkie– sent me 69 visitors. I love to share anything fun I make over on her site. I also list my giveaways on her site as well.
Mommy PR– sent me 64 visitors in November. An excellent site for sharing your giveaway opportunities. Use this form for submitting your giveaway to their awesome site! 
Tidy Mom– sent me 40 visitors. Each Friday she offers a link-up where you can share any crafty tutorial you’ve done on your site. 
Multiples and More–  sent me 36 visitors. I am on their blogroll. This is an excellent site for anyone expecting multiples or raising multiples. Lots of advice, pointers and tips from been- there- done- that moms!
The Creative Girl sent me 36 visitors. I link up at her site on Monday’s and share any crafty tutorial or DIY project I’ve done.
House of Grace– sent me 33 visitors. On Tuesday’s she offers a link up to share any Twice Blessed item(s) you’ve found. I like to share my Goodwill and thrifty finds.
Social Networking is a big deal for  me as well.
Facebook– sent me 138 visitors (I love Facebook!)
Twitter– sent me 51 visitors (learning to love Twitter)
Stumble Upon– sent me 46 visitors (this is new to me)
Now, I’m off to leave a comment on each of the above sites to thank them for sending traffic my way. It is the nice thing to do! 🙂
