Yes, I put recession in quotes on purpose. Things are for sure tight, but I really think that the media loves a good scare. All my conspiracy theories aside, Kristen over at Motherhood Uncensored came up with this idea of blogging the recession. Basically, it's a call to help bloggers out by clicking through to their sites, which ups their numbers, which ups their potential profits. If you follow the link to Kristen's blog, there are some other great blogs listed who are taking part in this adventure. Grab a cup of coffee and do some reading and some clicking. Immerse yourself in the interweb. Go ahead, I dare you. Live vicariously through the blogosphere.
If it makes money for some people, that'd be great. Even if it's not me. What else are you going to do when you're not watching the Olympics?
(Thanks Brandilynn for letting me know!)
I'm seeing enough families in crisis to believe in the recession. Homelessness? It's not just out there: it's here, right here in my middle-class community.
ReplyDeleteI'm not saying that things aren't tough right now--I think every time anyone fills up with gas, they're aware of the crunch. But I don't think we're recessed (yet), despite some tough times. It's sad to hear about struggles with homelessness no matter when or where and I in no way meant to make light of that with my comment!
ReplyDeleteOK so can you explain how folks make money off of people clicking through this to their blogs? is it enough for us just to click and read an entry or two? or do we need to visit their sponsor links... leave comments??? what helps?
ReplyDeleteI am also Blogging the Recession. It has been so much fun and a perk is finding great new blogs to frequent :)
ReplyDeleteHello, blogging the recession here. Your title is funny -- I don't like pickles either. :) Enjoying your blog; stop by mine if you have the chance!
