It has been a while since I blogged about the BlogJolt. The project has been going strong and we are still doing weekly Jolts: we pick one group member, and all of the other group members link to and comment on her blog.

Since there are a lot of new faces around here in the last few months, I wanted to remind you that the BlogJolt is FREE to join and is a GREAT way to get to know other mom bloggers (AND boost your blog traffic and Technorati rank too!!). Technically, you don’t even need to be a mom to join - just that you write for a blog that would be of interest to moms.
Since the BlogJolt launched back in July, we have ’swarmed’ onto over 20 blogs from the US, Canada, Ireland and Australia (and more!), and we have nearly 100 members.

Recently, my dear friend and blogging co-hort KatieBird has agreed to co-moderate the group, too.

This is one of those just plain fun and philanthropic projects I just love to do. No strings. Lots of links. Lots of fun. Please join us and start spreading the link love today!

Wendy has created a beautiful thing with the blogjolt. I’ve met a great group of people, been jolted and enjoyed the linklove/traffic and learned a great deal about the way people think from the list. Thanks Wendy.

The weekly BlogJolt that Wendy has organized is a great way to increase traffic to your blog as well as boost your Technorati ranking. I’ve enjoyed meeting a diverse group of bloggers that I otherwise would not have met had it not been for Wendy’s hard work and fabulous idea!

The results from being a part of the Blog Jolt group far exceeded my expectations. I received more than just a boost in links and traffic from the other participants. I expanded my professional network, I became a better blogger and met some amazing human beings who are now dear friends. BlogJolt ROCKS!

The Blog Jolt is an incredible project headlined by Wendy Piersall. When my blog, “Who’s Yo Mama”, was jolted, I saw lots more traffic, links and attention come to this blog.
