Although I can’t believe April is already over, it really seems like it has been quite some time since I wrote my last Blogger Appreciation Day post. I have some major things happening behinds the scenes in response to YOUR responses in my survey. Plus, I have a pretty exciting event coming up to help us all celebrate National Parenting Month AND the 200 dollar follower giveaway will be here before you know it.
Oh, and I have a secret…. oh I am so dying to tell it! Maybe next week… the goal is to tell my secret on Saturday during my Web Wide Weekend Wrap Up
, so be sure to look for it then!
Ok, on to the stats and how to do it…
Here’s how it works:
- Go into your tracking service (I use Google Analytics) and set the time period for January 1st – January 31st.
- Find the sites that have referred readers to you and put them in order from most sends to lowest. (I only do blogs and small businesses, not big sites!)
- Write a post (like this one) listing your top 10 referrers.
- Grab the Blogger Appreciation Day picture and add it to your site or post. (It is also nice to link back to my site, since I am giving you a link )
- Link that post up in my LinkyTools below. (Please do not list your current giveaways!! If you want your giveaways linked, send me )
- Scroll down and you will see a list of links, simply add your direct post link to it.

Thanks for checking in! Are you playing with us this month?
Whoot…I love being #1…hahaha. I’m a tad competitive can you tell
This is such a great idea!
LOL! Silly lady.
I wish I could get more people involved in playing. I have honestly learned a ton about where I should be concentrating my efforts by reading the players lists. 
#9) It’s better than being #10. Thanks for the mention!
