I would like to start out this weekly round up of the best blogs of the week by giving a shout out to Cre8Buzz .  I did a screen shot of my site analytics tool that displays my top traffic referrers from the last week and I think its worth noting where I consistently get a lot of traffic.  I think this is helpful information for other bloggers as they get a little candid Joeprah info and if traffic is their thing they can use this to help get them some more.  Click the below picture for the blown up version.

 

Joeprah's Traffic

 

First, it is amazing to me that Cre8buzz with about 2,000 users (small in the grand internet scheme of things) drives so much traffic to other folks sites.  If you haven't been to cre8buzz I can say (with proof) you are missing out.  I have 318 referring links from cre8buzz total  which puts them in fourth place as far as a referrer.  Fourth place.  Just let that kinda settle in.  Just imagine if cre8buzz was as big as Google !  I would be getting around 1,000,000 referring hits from them on a weekly basis.  Still, 318 isn't a number to sneeze at.  Granted my traffic isn't amazing, but I think the main point here is that cre8buzz is a great place for bloggers.  A "MySpace " for bloggers if you will.  Minus all the spam and annoying kids of course.  I can safely say it is the most open and welcoming community on the net and if you aren't a part of it and want an invite to get in I may have a few lying around.  Also, a traffic tip.  Have awesome pictures that you take time to make either fun or ridic-u-cool because you will get mad referring traffic from the google image search engine--no matter which country it is from.  

Now to the blogs.  

These are this weeks posts that spoke to me the most.  First, I have to start with Prin and her blog that seems to have me in perpetual winter fever. She takes crazy good pictures of all the snow she is getting in the Great White North.  Besides that, she has been posting some really deep introspective stuff about life and relationships, oh and pictures of her beloved dogs.  Worth a look see--totally.

Second, Tara from If Mom Says Ok has a terrifically funny rant/post that ends in a great "Top Ten list of pet peeves."  I really enjoyed reading her list and ranty post and I bet you will too.  

Third we have Avery Gray's latest and greatest .  Her video post is hilarious.  Period.  I would like to credit for inspiring her into this new media.  I will actually, even though I am not sure I deserve credit.  I will actually take credit for anything that anyone does so long as it rocks. Check her video out already!

Fourth, my Boy Pat Glennon at Annoyingly Boring .  His blog is anything but boring, but he actually inspired me to do videos of myself.  He has been doing it for a while and is really entertaining.  In this post he mentions me and that is almost enough to get a mention at my blog, but he also puts together a great video of his daughters.  It rawks.  Recognize.  

Last, and not leastof course is Melisa at Suburban Scrawl.  She has a great anecdote about creative parenting that was inspiring.  What a great way to look at a parenting opportunity.  In her described situation I would of blindly grounded, but she took it up a notch.  Great stuff.  Bravo.  

Stay tuned for more awesomeness.

Aw, thanks, Joe! I will allow you to take credit for any and all things that rock on my blog, including but not limited to videos, pictures with words on them, witty posts, and everything sidebar-related. However, I retain the rights to the name, the posts that suck, and any and all misspellings or grammatical errors. I gotta have something, right? :p

I am so glad I stumbled upon this website... JOEPRAH, you are amazing. Not only did you coin the coolest "name" ever, but you're posts are awesome too. I love that you refer other blogs. Also, i'm definitely going to check into that website that is "myspace" for bloggers. Awesome! check my blog out. (surely it doesn't compare to yours!)
