Description:

I am running this swap again at is was interesting and fun last time, but this time there are less partners to send your link too, to ease the task a little!

For this swap, you will send to each of your partners your blog web address (via Swap-Bot messaging ONLY, to avoid you not receieving the links in an email) The intention of this is to gain exposure to your blog and hopefully gain regular readers.

Then you can each browse/read your partners blogs in the hope of gaining regular visitors. It would also be nice to leave comments on your partners blogs as I know they are nice to receive and also keep you updated with who is reading your blog!

Any blog is fine be it creative blog, diary blog, career blog etc, This is an email/blog swap so it is naturally international, and it is open to everyone.

Happy blogging! :)

P.S A heart should be rewarded if they leave you nice comments/or if they add your blog link to their page etc. Please let the person know if you intend to add their blog link to your page :)

Networking is key to this blog!! Its great to make blogging friends.

Newbies welcome with a complete profile!

PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS SWAP AS A METHOD OF ADVERTISING UNWANTED WEBSITES THAT ARE NOT RELEVENT TO THE SWAP. BLOGS ONLY!!

I sure hope more people join this swap. I enjoy finding new blogs. My blog is about romance writing but I think it'd be interesting to others as well.

I would love to play (I'm going to sign up) out of curiosity, I have two blogs, one is for fun I talk about crafts and life (i just started writing again after a long break) the other is a business I run that reviews products for babies, kids, and parents. I feature all kinds of cool indie businesses, and stuff a little off the beaten path. Could I share both with my partners? Or do I need to pick just one? Could I share both if I am willing to do two sets of partners (giving and receiving links from two sets?)

I LOVE Blogs!

Hi, just send one blog link to each partner only as it wouldnt be fair. As then your partners would have more swaps to read and it would probably get too much especially if everyone sent two links.

Though: you could perhaps send one of your blog links to two of your partnes and the other blog link to the other two. Just a suggestion!

Happy Blogging!

StaciJane 01/ 3/2009 #

I just started up a blog so this will be fun! I am already addicted to reading blogs and I love discovering new ones!

MamaMay 01/ 8/2009 #

This sounds fun! I am willing to try this out!

Mom2blu 01/15/2009 #

I'm going to drop, then re-signup closer to the date, is that allowed? I'm still under the 5 swap limit, so since this has time....

cittylou 01/18/2009 #

Venom 01/28/2009 #

What is Swap-Bot messaging? Is it in forums or something I don't immediately see?

Catra 01/29/2009 #

swap bot messaging is messages thru swap-bot

Catra 01/29/2009 #

thankyou mustxbexfate!!!

scalpelplease05 02/ 1/2009 #

I can't wait I can't Wait I can't wait!!! :)

smurfett 02/ 1/2009 #

got your email...can't wait to see everyones blogs!

racheljohnson 02/ 1/2009 #

I have a question: Do we send our blog links to the partners we are supposed to rate? That would make it possible for us to rate them once they visit our blog and comment.

If we send our blog link to the partners we are technically supposed to send to according to the system, we will not be able to rate them for visiting. The people you are assigned to send to are not the same people who send to you in the Swap-bot system. So, you do not rate the same people who you send to usually.

It is confusing, but I hope my question makes sense.

racheljohnson 02/ 1/2009 #

or do we get rated just for sending our blog link to our intended partners?

YankeeUnicorn 02/ 1/2009 #

When will partners be posted?

scalpelplease05 02/ 1/2009 #

Yes When When When!! :)

Tiegan 02/ 1/2009 #

Cant wait for Partners.-- Yay!!!! :-)

smurfett 02/ 2/2009 #

Got my partner assignments this morning...and I've swap-bot messaged each of them! Can't wait to hear from the partners who have me!

Simone 02/ 2/2009 #

I have the same question as RachaelJohnson

Simone 02/ 2/2009 #

I have just sent all 10 people my blog address - will see what happens

cittylou 02/ 2/2009 #

you get rated for sending your blog link to your intenteded partners. This is all about networking really.

Jodiez 02/ 2/2009 #

I just sent mine out also :D xx

HazelHoney 02/ 2/2009 #

Sent! :)

maltagirl 02/ 2/2009 #

me too! all sent:)

smurfett 02/ 2/2009 #

I went ahead and sent messages to all 10 also..cause I sent to my partners this morning, and I can't rate them?

cittylou 02/ 2/2009 #

hey everyone good idea sending it to the 10! As thats what its all about: networking! Just to clarify again: send your link to the 'partners I send to' Even though the rating is abit confusing im sure people will be kind and rewards hearts anyway as I do

jambalie 02/ 2/2009 #

Anyone I sent my link to, please feel free to send me your link back!

jambalie 02/ 2/2009 #

This would have worked, rating-wise, if our To/From partners were all the same. As it is, my first send-to partner is awesome, but I can't give her a rating for it =(

Haloquin 02/ 2/2009 #

Yeah, I agree.

Leaving a comment on their profile seems like a good option. It lets them know they're appreciated :D (Thank you!)

We can only rate the people who send us the link to their blogs, rather than the people who read/comment... so I'm going to send my link to the people who send me theirs and rate on interactions overall, and then comment on profiles for those I can't rate! Hope everyone's happy that way :) Plus, more networking! Yay!

angeponge 02/ 2/2009 #

I sent to all 10 as well!!!

poketypatch 02/ 2/2009 #

I sent to all 10 - but just a reminder that when everyone leaves comments, make sure you identify yourself as from swap-bot so that we will know who to leave a comment for if the system won't let us rate them!

kiwiholly 02/ 2/2009 #

Commented on all of mine, aside from one which was a dead link. :)

Tiegan 02/ 2/2009 #

Ive sent to all 10 also. However Ive only received one blog link via PM so far. Hope the others PM me with them soon. :-) Hugs Tiegan

nifwlseirff 02/ 3/2009 #

I've sent mine to all my partners. Please feel free to send a link to your blog in return!

aliciag 02/ 3/2009 #

I enjoyed this swap very much!

CraftyGardenerTN 02/ 3/2009 #

The rating on this is confusing. We are supposed to rate those who comment on our blog but that is not the ones it allows us to rate. It only allows us to rate those that send us their blog.

cittylou 02/ 3/2009 #

hey everyone : just wanted to clarify to all as im getting messages about the same thing.

This swap is all about: networking! Just to clarify again: send your link to the 'partners I send to' Even though the rating is abit confusing im sure people will be kind and rewards hearts anyway as I do. If you wish to send the link to the 'partners I rate' then go ahead.

In the next swap I have planned for people to send thier blog link ONLY to the 'people I rate' so it runs more smoothly ;)

Hope that helps, thanks citty lou ;)

HerSaccharine 02/ 3/2009 #

Sounds confusing but im having a great time..gaining friends here!

bundabergsangel 02/ 4/2009 #

If you visit a blog you have been sent the link through messages, and you leave a comment you can give them a link to your blog through the messages if you wanted?

Sent...finally. I was a little behind the mark on this one! hehe

YankeeUnicorn 02/ 4/2009 #

I have sent all mine via PM's but haven't been rated on any of them yet :(

BanaeDepp 02/ 6/2009 #

I sent all of mine...only got two ratings....and have only received two messages myself :(

robotlove 02/ 6/2009 #

Decided to send my link to all 10 as well. =D

Kii 02/ 6/2009 #

I'm done. :D

So fun to read blogs <3

Haloquin 02/ 7/2009 #

I've sent to everyone, thought that'd be the best way to maximise networking and total joy! I've not been rated on everything yet, but I'd rather people took a little bit of time to have a good look and get in touch before they rated, reading through several blogs in between everything else can take a certain amount of time!

Had much fun! Thanks everyone :)

BanaeDepp 02/10/2009 #

Still have only received two messages....should I pm them?

BooCartledge 02/11/2009 #

I finally sent my blog address to the 5 "See the partners you send to" people. And then I went and looked at their blogs (at least, that's what I think I did) and either commented or sent an e-mail to each of them.

That's what this exchange called for. Right?

lvpoohbr2 02/11/2009 #

I'm afraid people are still confused on who to rate and why. I have been rated on 3 swaps so far and I don't remember visiting one the blogs. I did get over there and make a comment since then though. ;D

smurfett 02/17/2009 #

so far so good...I've had a responce (and rated in return) 4 of my 5 partners. I've pm'd the other...but gotten no responce?

PoMoGolightly 02/27/2009 #

I have to apologize for my absence of late--I was away for a conference, where I also caught a cold. I'm just catching up on everything and will rate this weekend. Thank you for your understanding--I'll be eager to read new blogs!
