Blog the Recession – help a blogger out with only a click

Although I’m not convinced that our country is in a recession as much as it is simply in an election year and this seems to happen during those times, I can vouch for rising prices and budget struggles at home.

Kristen at Motherhood Uncensored (umm…yeah…seriously) has started a little “cause” for bloggers to help make these rough times a little better and all you have to do is visit a few sites and check out some of their posts.

From Kristen:

The premise is simple. If you read blogs, then for the month of August, make the “pledge” to click through from your feed reader. No obligation to leave a hilarious comment or send a long stalkerish email (although both, within reason, are always lovely). Just click through to the blog (not on ads unless you are so led) and if you’re feeling generous, click around to their older posts.

Just those extra page views can make a big difference for bloggers who could really use the help, or in my case, where page views don’t matter so much, a big fat ego boost.

If you are interested in signing up, click the image above for more details. You will also be entered to win some great prizes, so it truly is win-win.

So, go through your feed reader, your emails, your blogroll or whatever and just go visiting some blogs. If you don’t have the time to comment, that’s ok, just click through to a few of their posts or pages For bloggers who have ads based upon # of pageviews, you will help them directly, and for others you will be helping them indirectly either by the ego boost Kristen mentioned or just by helping their stats.
