Welcome to Friendly Friday, the weekly blog meme that introduces bloggers to each other and helps everyone get more followers on Google Friend Connect! Your hostesses for this weekly celebration are Xenia at Thanks, Mail Carrier, Christi at Frugal Novice and Charla at Healthy Home Blog! It’s a great way to get new followers to your blog, say hello to your blog friends, and make new ones!
To join in the Friendly Friday celebration,go to any of the three blogs listed above , follow the hostesses in the first 3 spots and then start blog hopping! Visit other blogs on the list and comment to give them some blog love. Then take a minute to follow them through Google Friend Connect – this is a good way to keep up with other blogs, but also lets us show support to each other! Please DO NOT list your giveaways here, links must be to either your homepage or your Friday posting with your blog title. All others will be deleted.
When people comment on your blog and let you know they’re a part of Friendly Friday, return the favor and follow them back. This way everyone gets traffic and followers out of participating, and it’s a win-win situation. Feel free to right-click on and save the Friendly Friday button and post it on your blog and/or in a post – the more bloggers that find out about Friendly Friday and participate, the better!
Remember, YOU can host the link list on your blog, too! Just get the InLinkz code from the posts on any of the three hostess blogs and copy it directly into your post. The code is different every week, so be sure to get the new code when hosting Friendly Friday on your blog. Hosting the list is a great way to get even more traffic to your blog and make Friendly Friday more beneficial for everyone.
Happy Friday everybody! Tomorrow, Kaitlyn and I are going to Grand Rapids for an advance screening of the new Winnie the Pooh movie! And then next Friday, I’m leaving for Chicago for the Midwest Media Brands & Bloggers Summit, which I’m really looking forward to.
I’m glad you stopped by, I’d love to have you follow me on Google Friend Connect! Please leave a comment after you follow and sign the linky so I can make sure to follow back. Have a great weekend everybody!

Elizabeth, that’s so cool that you and Xenia get to meet up in Chicago! I’ll be looking forward to hearing about it via your posts.
Also, I have a question about putting paid ads in my sidebar. Does that affect Page Rank? My PR has been going back and forth between 3 and 0. Crazy! I recently put a new paid text link in my sidebar and was wondering if that is affecting it.

I think Google looks at the total number of links you have on your site including the ones in your sidebar. Mine just went down from 5 to 4, and I had added a few things to my sidebar. It also has to do with how many people are linking back to you, and how your individual posts and homepage rank in Google searches. And, it’s how you compare to every other blog! It’s a big mystery to everybody
