Blogger Appreciation Day: November 2011

How were things for you in November? My traffic finally seems to be going back up, but I am sure it is due to my Holiday gift guides and to several of my recipes getting pinned on Pinterest.

Here’s how it works:

Go into your tracking service (I use Google Analytics) and set the time period for November 1st – November 30th.
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 a million to my TOP TEN blog referrals!
