If You Disapprove of Shameless Plugging, Stop Now, I’m Warning You

Dude! You guys rock! I make a simple request and you delivered like the Speedy Gonzalez Pizza Hombres. My initial goal of making it to the top 25 websites on Sacramento Top 25 was met in less than 24 hours. And then it just kept climbing. And if you make it to the top 15, you get a banner next to your link and BLAMMO, MerlotMom tells me it’s at 14 when she clicks the logo. Even as I type this, I’m at #9! Keep those fingers clickin’, ’cause Nanny Goats is a ranking whore. (You know, taken out of context, that last sentence doesn’t sound very pretty.)

And that’s not all! Today, I was awarded the Post of The Day Award on The Rising Blogger. They reviewed my post about Mother’s Day (which is also currently posted on midlifebloggers.com, by the way). So please read this review on The Rising Blogger and add a comment after mine where I give a tearful, yet heartfelt acceptance speech. (And am once again cut off by the exit music. These awards shows are not about the awardees anymore, I tell you!)

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got an After Party, and an After After Party to attend and my publicist wants me to take a meeting tomorrow, so I gotta prepare for that, and my agent has been calling me nonstop since the announcement and, well, you know how it is.

It was a great post. And, I’ve enjoyed some of your other writing on the interwebs as well.
I recommend you read A Gag Reflex, another fine Sacramento area blogger, Cori Crooks, whose blog is being published by a major publisher in book form this fall.
Glad you enjoyed the review.
And, I never got a banner for being in the Top 15 – how do you do that?

Let me pat you on the back woman!!
And here I thought you’d never be able to compete with the Home of the Secret Finger Trick and Bigfoot, despite my frantic clicking.
Shows you what I know!

I would buy a book named Nanny Goats in Panties! When I saw the name of your blog, I had to click on it.
Best of luck and I love your blog..it makes me laugh.

Lori H – I will definitely check out A Gag Reflex. A book? How exciting! And the banner thing? I submitted the banner in my initial submission form (which was a URL pointing to a 460 x 80 image, I think). Then when you acheive a ranking of 15 or better, the banner magically appears! So maybe you could send the URL to the guy who runs the site?
Empress – Thanks sweetie! I’m honored to be a new addition!
Jan – The Secret Finger whahh???

I don’t really care about the banner – but I think you can actually get it up regardless of your ranking – if it’s important to you, you might check with John B.
Glad you enjoyed your review.

Lori H – Ohhhh, I thought you were wanting a banner. And I don’t know how important it is to me. But like everything else, you never know until it’s taken from you. So in a couple of weeks when I fall back down to zero, THEN we’ll see how important it is to me!
Erin – I just checked… #5 ! woo hoo!

What the hell is this? Sac’s top bloggers and I’m not even hinted at? I’ll have you know that I had a post printed in the Sacramento Bee. Wouldn’t you think that would put me into some sort of running?
