How to become "The Bestest Blog of the Day"
"Bestest Blog of the Day" Archives
Ok, I know I said I'd start the "Bestest Blog of the Day" feature on July 1st, but I thought I'd put up a trial version today to work on my formatting and see if anyone has any good suggestions, so here it is (by the way, this is my other blog which I haven't worked on much since the inception of this one, but I'd like to get an idea of how many people will actually go and visit the blog...also I invented the link exchange there, but haven't continued with it, please participate here though).

Billboard Lyrics (http://billboardlyrics.blogspot.com)
If you're into music, you'll be into this blog. Run by Bobby Griffin, he takes a look at the Billboard Music charts, the hottest songs in America, and compiles all the lyrics in one easy location.

One thing I really like about this site, is that Bobby has links to clips of all the songs so you can hear what they sound like. This is useful for a guy like me, because I don't always know the names of the songs I like or who sings them. Plus, he also takes requests!

He also has links up to purchase or download the music on Amazon.com or iTunes, and let's face it if you were going to buy these songs those are the places you'd probably buy them (at least I would).

So go and check it out, and tell him "The Bestest Blog of All-Time" sent you!

While I'm gone, I wanna be sure that I have lots of pretty links to come home and add. So, I thought I'd give everyone a little motivation to get out there and tell their friends to link me up! I've developed a points system where you get:

--1 point for every blog you refer
--1 BONUS point if that blog is hosted somewhere other than Blogspot (trying to diversify)
--1 BONUS point if that blog ISN'T a personal blog (again, diversification)

For all referrals, please tell them to leave a comment on this post when they have a link up to me; link exchanges via email will not be accepted for the referral contest (it'd make them too hard to tally up).

Be sure that anyone you refer clearly lists your blog URL and/or title as the referrer (I'm not going to play detective with this.) Now, onto the prizes...!

First place will receive an award of "Bestest Blog of the Day" PLUS a $5.00

¿Una herramienta potente no? Para ver más ir a www.goviral.com

Thanks for joining the "Bestest Blog" link exchange. Your link will soon be viewable by thousands of daily visitors and begin receiving lots of hits from the Random Blog Button (I can almost guarantee it will exceed your expectations)...you'll also be eligible to win "Bestest Blog of the Day!"

If you're interested in getting the most out of this site, perhaps you should consider making a donation to become a Premium Blog. Premium blogs receive a lot of benefits including lots of extra hits from the Random Blog Button, being linked in the sidebar on EVERY page of the blog, and more! Plus, you get the warm, fuzzy feeling of helping a poorly paid high school math teacher make some extra money with this blogging endeavour! Click here for all the details!

Note that due to the volume of requests we receive, and since backlinks must be checked manually, link updates to this site are performed once a week, usually on the weekend. So, please allow up to a week for us to get your link up! To check when the last update was, check out the Recent Additions.

The Random Blog button utilizes a javascript I wrote that chooses at random one of the blogs that I have listed in my directory. To have your blog included in the random blogs and in the sidebar, it's as easy as joining my Link Exchange program. Remember, any random blog this goes to should also have a link back to my site. So if you want to use the button again you can hit the "Back" button on your browser, or simply find the link back to here. So, why is it better?

(1) No pornographic or otherwise offensive material. If you have clicked "Next Blog >>" as much as I have, I know you've stumbled onto quite a few of these, and it always seems to happen as someone is walking by the computer...

(2) No foreign language blogs. I think the culture of other nations is great, though I can't speak much of any language besides English. I do have an entire section devoted to these blogs, but they don't appear in this rotation. Too often I'd be browsing the "Next Blogs" and a indecipherible Spanish blog would come up...or worse, a blog with Asian characters that don't even format correctly in my browser.

(3) More than just blogspot. Blogspot is huge, but there are a ton of non-blogspot blogs out there that get no respect in the "Next Blog >>" button. Well, they are given equal distribution here...MySpace, Xanga, LiveJournal, and more!

(4) Every blog in this rotation is run by someone who cares enough about their blog that they actively sought out ways to promote it and they should be regularly updated.

(5) No more spam blogs! All these blogs are run by real people with real messages that they want to write about.

(6) And finally...your blog can be a part of it too. Just participate in the free link exchange program and your blog will join the rotation. With more visitors per day than there are blogs in the rotation, it's likely that everyday someone new will be coming to visit your site.

If you find a blog that snuck in some pornographic or offensive material, or one that hasn't been updated in over a month, just let me know (in the comments section) and I'll have it removed ASAP!

Also, blogs that have previously held the "Bestest Blog of the Day" title are 3 times more likely to come up than other blogs. High quality = more likely, the way it should be.

If you want your blog to come up more often than all the others in the rotation, it's as easy as becoming a "Premium Blog" (click here to find out how!).

If you have any other questions, feel free to leave me a comment on this post or email me.

Well, you definitely can't become "The Bestest Blog of the Day" without first participating in my Link Exchange program. This will get your link to appear in the directory of my blog and since I personally check to make sure you have a link to my blog ready to go, I will be checking out yours in the meantime.

Beyond that, what I'm looking for in "The Bestest Blog of the Day" is something that sets you apart from other blogs. This could be (but DEFINITELY is not limited to) a creative concept, a creative title, a unique point-of-view on life, a good sense of humor, a blog full of useful information, a blog by a talented writer or artist, an original blog design, or maybe you post 3 or 4 times a day.

Furthermore, I myself make it a habit to visit the "Bestest Blog of the Day" towards the end of every day to see how many people stopped by and left a comment. If I see someone's name on a bunch of different "Blogs of the Day," that shows that have a real interest in this site and I would have to give them SERIOUS consideration to give their blog the award.

If you have any questions on what else you can do to make your blog the bestest, if only for a day, please feel free to email me or leave a comment.

How to become the "Bestest Blog of the Day"
"Bestest Blog of the Day" Archives
If you can't decide on a category, I would be happy to choose one for you. If at any point you'd like to change categories, please just let me know.

Personal - This is our largest category and appropriate for the 'typical' blogger who writes mostly about occurrences in his or her own life or rants and raves of their own opinions.

Entertainment - If your blog has a preoccupation with movies, TV, music, books or anything else Pop Culture, then this category is for you.

Technology/Internet - This category is for bloggers who enjoy writing about the latest developments in technology or anything at all that has to do with the internet.

Sports - Pretty self-explanatory, whether you blog about your own experiences in sports or your favorite professional team, this is your category.

Funny - Do you think of yourself as a comedian? Well, if the whole point of your blog is 'trying' to make people laugh (you don't necessarily have to be very successful at it), then this is where your blog should appear.

Serious/News - This category is a bit open-ended and intended for blogs with a specific topic of a serious nature. I don't necessarily mean serious like cancer, just anything doesn't clearly fall into another category. Also, this is for anyone who likes to blog about recent happenings in the news.

Educational - If your main aim is to enlighten and educate your readers on a specific topic, whether ir be science or how to buy a home, then tell me to put your blog here.

Picture/Video - This category is for bloggers who always include a picture, photograph or video in their blog. This could be your latest work of art or something you found on YouTube that you want your readers to see, it's all included.

Religion/Politics - If you don't immediately know that your blog belongs here, than it probably doesn't.

Writing/Fiction/Poetry - Now of course in a personal blog you 'write' about your everyday life, but this is more intended for the serious writer (you know, the kind who checks that words are spelled correctly and what not).

Pets/Children - If your blog is all about your beautiful kids or adorable little kitties and puppies (or ugly iguanas), then this is your category.

Travel - This is for bloggers who are chroncling their journey to either a new location they've never been to, or a variety of places on some sort of trip. Blogs in this category are usually about some sort of vacation or tour or going to college or moving to a new house in a different place than you grew up.

Miscellaneous - This category is not only for people whose blogs are absolutely random and could maybe fit in EVERY category above, but also for bloggers whose site has a clear-cut topic that just doesn't fit anywhere above. Submit to me what category your blog would IDEALLY fall into, and I'll put it in parentheses for my readers. If I get enough blogs of the same desired category, I'll create it for you!

Foreign Language - Our final category, this is for anyone whose blog is NOT in English.
