The Mommy Blog Written by a Real Mom
I’m sure all of those who have blogs out there are always looking for new ways to generate traffic to your blog and find other people who enjoy similar things that you do. With all the technology out there, it’s hard for everyone to know where to turn to generate some traffic to your site, especially traffic that will appreciate your writing skills as a mom. I myself am on many of the networking sites: Digg, Stumbleupon, facebook, and twitter.
Introducing Mommyranks. This site is designed in such a way that allows for moms to post links on to this site. Once you post a link to your blog it will include a snapshot of your blog posting, a description of this posting and it will allow you to select what category it falls under. You are then linked up to the main page where people can see the snapshot of your blog and vote on the specific posting you submitted!
What’s the best thing about this site? Moms go here, moms link here, and mom’s vote for other blogs! (you don’t have to be a mom to vote!) Mom’s don’t necessarily know what digg is or use it. (not saying that Digg is complicated or that mom’s don’t know what it is but Digg is not geared towards Moms like Mommyranks is!) So Lauren from Mommyranks developed a site that is user friendly and dedicated to mommy blogging!
It’s free to join. All you need to do is submit a blog link and add a description to upload a blog posting of yours. One of the coolest features of this site is that it will take a snapshot of your blog posting (or you can submit a URL with one that you want)
So if you have a certain blog posting that you particularly love (yours or someone elses) this is your chance to submit it and support it! So this site is a way for you to promote your best postings not just your blog as a whole, so that means… yes ladies–you can submit more then one posting!!!
If you are looking for other mommy sites, and interesting reads check out www.mommyranks.com and start voting for your favourite posts, or submit your own! Happy Ranking!
Erin Carrasco (Real Tech Mom) is a mom of a beautiful baby boy born in March. She also looks after her other two kids (Mia and Keely, her two cats) and her wonderful husband of four years. It has taken some time getting used to not being at home every day, but being a mom is a different type of job and I admire the moms who get to be with their kids every day!
Moms like me know that just because everyone says you should do it, or not do it does not make it set in stone. For us dinner is never the same time every night and because of my husband’s job, our lives are ruled by overtime, extra overtime, travel and the crack blackberry. I am not only a mom, I’m a woman and human being. Believe it or not I do enjoy a lot more than just being a mom! Some of my passions are a little geeky but still they’re me none the less.
