"Blogger Buzz: Over 15,000 New Hits Thanks to Blogs of Note"

October 28, 2010 was a day to
remember for my blog!
 
 

I’m The Blog of Note for the Day!

 
 
 
 
I want to thank Blogger Buzz and the Blogger Team behind
Blogs of Note for giving me the most exciting day!  I went into my Blogger stats and found that I was the featured blog on 
 
 

Blogs of Note

 
  
 
I was that blog out of millions of blogs…what a blessing!  Could God have been in it?  Yes and I thank Him for it being turned around to my good.  What am I talking about?  I’ll let you know in the next posting…for now read more of the good news.
 
 
 

What’s the Big Deal?


Why is that awesome you ask?  Google, who IS the giant search engine of the world,  put my blog in front of the whole world!  I looked at my Statscounter and the map of who was looking at my blog at that moment….people all over the world were looking back at me!  Lights on the map were blinking like a Christmas tree…then more lights would pop up.  I was feeling like a child seeing the gifts under the tree on Christmas morning.
 
 
 
This was my awesome page for a day! And was I ever linked up by Google-backed Blogger!
 
 
 
  
How Google’s Blogger Is Helping My Book Launch
 
  
The most I had ever noticed looking at the pages while I was online was 3 people and I was one of the 3.  After 100 posts and few followers, I watched as the blog followers grew before my eyes.  It was modest, but there were people showing up that I may not have met any other way.  Blogs chosen remain on their short list of one weeks worth on the Blogs of Note  http://blogsofnote.blogspot.com/ page as post more each day.  Then you are placed in their Blogs of Note archives for people to still find. I also looked in the Google Searches and I’m number one under Blogs of Note!  I am literally, Queen for a Day!
 
This was like a book launch that could only be dreamed about!  That’s right, my Christian children’s books are back in print…ready to be purchased.at www.DonnaPerugini.com ..and Google’s Blogger made my dream of reaching out and telling the world come true!  It was like having a surprise party, favors and all!!  My children’s book titles are:
 
 
  • The Flight of Orville Wright Caterpillar
  • The Adventure of Amelia Airheart Butterfly in bye! bye! Dragonfly!
  • Do Angels Go Camping? 
  • Don’t Hug a Grudge

You Can Still Come to My Party

 
  
See the FREE downloads already available on my blog.  Look at the book trailers, the postings, Music with illustrations written for the children’s books, Crafts, Curriculum, Guitar Chords for the Songs, Crossword Puzzles!
 
 

What do you think of all this good news?  Love to hear your intelligent thoughts, so leave a comment!

Be sure to come back for the rest of the story.  Who was behind my day on Blogs of Note

    Very good explanation on SEO marketing really now days it’s become essential part of website.

    Donna Perugini says:

    Web design hampshire,
    I hear you when you say it's become and essential part of website.

    SEO marketing can be elusive to bloggers. We'd all like to be getting the links from places like the 'Blogs of Note'.

    There are groups who have sprung up that gather around that idea like the SITs girls (Secrets In The Sauce). If you are the blogger of the day, you could end up with from 50 to 200 comments in that one day because of the 'sisterhood'.

    I looked your site over and will go back to really check it out. It's impressive! I'm curious to see what you have under the 'Our Values' label.

    I appreciate your leaving a comment.

    Praise God! After such a rough week or so with the behind-the-scenes blog stuff, this is COMPLETELY an answer to prayer above and beyond what we could ask or imagine!

  24. 24
    Donna Perugini says:

    Audra,
    You got that right! People have no idea what happened and then to have this happen…it was COMPLETELY an answer to prayer above and beyond what we could ask or imagine! You actually have to know about the Blogs of Note to imagine it, right? Never knew! I'm looking to pass the 10,000 mark for visitors to my site. I finally broke past the 100 for followers and subscribers are coming onboard with email subscriptions.

    The day it happened, Oct. 28, 2010 will stay in my memory for a long time!

    Cool to have you yippie, skippie with me, Audra..since you knew the inside details!

    Isa 58:14 Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

    Love you!!

    Hi, Anonymous Cathy!
    Thanks for telling me it was you. You are so right about God knowing how to set things right, bring things around and promote like no one else! It was such a blessing and it's still going on!

    Did you know that this is where the scripture came from that I heard and wrote the whole "The Flight of Orville Wright Caterpillar" book around? I even put it in the book. "Do you want to ride the high places of the earth?" the little girl said to Orville.

    You did a good job posting on my blog for a first time commenter!

    Your books look extra cute! We are planning a little one, and I cannot wait for reading in general, and especially bed time reading 🙂

    Donna Perugini says:

    Lilli xxx
    You have the right idea!

    Even while you're pregnant, pick one special story you read to your inutero baby. When they are in your arms, read the story and by the time they are older, they'll have all the voice inflections, storyline and your love embeded in them.

    I used to sing a song all the time i was pregnant and the only song that would comfort my son was that song.

    Thanks for the compliment and stopping by. I know your baby will be the most loved child on the earth!!

    Hi, Jessie,
    I tried going to your blog, but you don't have a Google profile for me to click on your blog link. Stop by again and leave your blog url so I can visit!

    My next posting will give more of a look into God's working in my author/books launch. I'm glad you were encouraged!

    in this generation, in our generation it is our responsibility to encourage our children about nature. One of the most relevant way is to encourage them to read Reading Children's Books about nature. make them a nature lovers be able them to digest the importance of nature to mankind..

  46. 46
    Donna Perugini says:

    Yes, Joel,
    Teaching children about nature is important. Ranger Rick is a very good children's magazine my children grew up with and learned so much about nature.

    I'm grateful living in the Pacific NW. We have black bear that visit, a cougar that chased the dog (dog is okay), a bobcat that attacked the cat (vet bill on this one)and she learned to be faster, deer (love to eat the roses). We are the intruders, but share with caution, their world.

    We take care of our forests and appreciate God's handiwork all around us.

    Well, today we remembered to bring the camera outside, but when we looked, they were GONE. Lucas was a bit concerned about save the planet
    . It was raining, though, so they may just have been staying out longer than usual or maybe moved somewhere drier temporarily? I don't know. We'll look again tomorrow.

    Thanks!!

    Extreamly post.As mentioned in the previous post, using social networking is done at a very minimal cost and is set up in order to mostly self-populate from other sources. It gives us another avenue to interact with users in an arena that they may be more comfortable with.
