asking a favor?

I have a big favor to ask my blogging readers... would you please help me out and give me some much needed advice as to what I'm doing wrong on my Review blog. I went from 80 some comments down to 30 some in the matter of two weeks. I'm not doing anything different. Why the drop? All I can think of is the stuff that's up for grabs right now might not be as appealing!?? If you could add my button to your site, or even write a small post about my trying to get going Review blog I would really appreciate it. I'd be glad to return the favor.

Site: Momma In Flip Flops2 (

Button Code (just copy and paste) is on the left hand side of my sidebar!


I know I'm asking a lot, but I would appreciate any advice you may have! Thanks.

Couldn't tell you what's going on? Maybe with school starting people have been busy? Hopefully things will pick up again.

I was thinking the same thing...stats on my blog have gone down as well and my blog is a regular one. I think people are trying to wrap up summer plans and starting school, therefore not on the computer as much. I got your button on my blog! I can move it up higher if you want. Let me know!

I think it's just a hectic time of year, and people have other priorities right now.
Most I know either just started school back, or will be next week.

I'd bet once 1-2 weeks are past, your review blog will be back up. You know, when life gets back into a routine. ;)

I have one word for you: soccer. I don't know for sure about the rest of the country, but in my neck of the woods we are all soccer, all the time once school starts. I have three in soccer and practices are almst every night of the week. I have a friend who always jokes that when the Gospel says that when the Lord comes and one is taken up and two are left in the field - who knew it would be the soccer field? ha ha! I never really did the contest thing before you started your other blog, but I will try to get over there more often! :-)

Well, I'd mention the school thing, but 4 other people beat me too it. :)

I was wondering, do you use Google Analytics or other tracking software? Can you see where your hits were coming from a month ago, 2 months ago? Were you riding a wave from your participation in the bloggy giveaway carnival? I know another one is coming up soon, well, October maybe?

I'm going to be moving my bottom buttons to the sidebar soon and hope it helps... oh and I have another link to you Hip-T contest going up tomorrow.

The stats on my blog have gone down as well in the past few weeks...besides the fact that we were gone for 2 weeks camping, I'm not sure why they've gone down either...the only thing I can think is that people are busy getting back into the swing of things with school starting again??? I dunno. Anyways, my friend Stacey and I are starting up a new review blog in about a month, so I'll post your banner up on my blog, and then once we have ours going, maybe you could return the favor and put our button up on your blog? :)

I will put your button up on my blog, although I don't have a big readership, if someone happens by and sees it, they might go your way!
oh and maybe I should be a better friend and actually check it out more myself LOL.
