In case you haven’t already heard, Kristen over at Motherhood Uncensored (warning, it’s a rockin’ blog but it is what it says it is — uncensored. If there are little eyes around, don’t click, mkay?) has started something called “Blog the Recession“. It’s premise is simple — every bit of traffic and page views helps us bloggers out — especially the ones who are still newbies like me — so the idea is that you click through to the actual website from your feed readers (I’m talking to you BioGirl – but I’m only pickin’ on you because I know you read CSC in a reader) so that the blogs that you read can get some much-needed traffic.

Why do we need traffic, you ask? Well — I guess with summer time everyone traffic is down because people are on vay-cay and just aren’t reading their dear ole blogs like they usually do. I myself went on a two week vacation to Europe where I was required to PAY to access my precious internet. Of course, I slacked off in my reading during that time, frankly because I couldn’t afford to continue to pay for internet just to read all of the latest posts on the web.

Honestly, every little page view helps — so if you are a frequent reader of a blog, then go on, click through your reader and onto the actual website itself to help the blogger out. And of course, while I appreciate all of you subscribers who read this daily though email or a reader, I also appreciate it when you click on over to my site and hit me up with some much needed traffic.

Traffic = more cool stuff that I can bring you on a regular basis. And who doesn’t like cool stuff?

Exactly.

So go ahead, help us Blog this Recession. Click around, leave a few comments if you are so inclined. Your blogger friends all thank you.
