What is it?
Link Party is by no means a technical term...you may have heard of it as a Blog Party, Blog Hop, Linky (Tools) Party etc. But it is definitely a party!!!
1. Parties are usually hosted on the blog that has created the party.
2. There can be a theme, or not.
3. To join in all you have to do is add your blog and your name and you're a part of the party.
4. It's nice if you hop around to the other gals (and guys) that have joined
5. Leave comments there and/or become a follower.
It's a lot of fun to share what you've been up to: create an awesome table-scape, show photos of your garden and veggies, try Wordless Wednesdays with only a picture, or join a nationwide tea party!
I haven't commented yet on any specific post, I am just enjoying all the info the guidebook has to offer, and I added a button to my blog. Thank you for all your great info. Trying right now to figure out the Linky Party stuff.
ReplyDeleteMe, too. I'm currently the chief blogger for the home improvement classifieds site DiggersList.com and am now creating a new blog for my songwriting. Though I've been blogging for a while, this world is a big'un and I still feel like a "newbie"! Love your "bee-utiful" blog and will add your button. Thanks for the very helpful info.!

How did your Linky go? Hope you added it to our ongoing lists!
DeleteI am still not quite getting how to join a link party? How do I actually link my blog? Do I go to my dashboard and do it there? Please help.
ReplyDeleteJoy, I'm sorry I'm just getting back to you...you would link your blog in one of our categories or someone else's linky. You do it from the blog that is hosting the linky...do you still need help? Let us know!
DeleteIm with Joy. I have read several posts about link parties and all are vague about how to participate. After reading your reply, I am still clueless. Could you please be more specific?
Delete@ Sarah @ The Blog Guidebook- Thanks so much for this post! I've been working hard for the past three years to develop great content and start monetizing. I've also gained some great gal pal bloggers, but would like to start participating more in Linky parties (and hosting them as well!). I'm still a little bit at a loss as to how to join, because it seems the way bloggers are doing it now is a bit more sophisticated (i.e. link up to a specific location on our blog [without explaining where], Pinterest parties, etc.
ReplyDeleteIf you can post where you might have explained this further, or give us a little more info. on these new developments...that would be fab. Thanks soooo much!
Thanks for explaining this! Even though I've been blogging for several years I'm embarrassed to say that I didn't really understand what a linky party was. Thanks for the explanation
ReplyDeleteIs it that simple? Never though of doing the linky party yet but I know what I'm going to do now.
ReplyDeleteThanks

ReplyDeleteHello there. I just stumbled upon this article and I think it is just what I am looking for. I just wanted to know if you could recommend any linky parties in the wedding community? I see that most of these are for home & food blogs. Thanks again for the great information!
ReplyDeleteHello !! I'm Lisa ! I just enrolled at Linky Party! Thank you for the opportunity to meet other bloggers ! Mine is a blog of Italian cuisine ! Tra Cucina & Realtà http://cucinaerealta.blogspot.it

Well, it's good to see I'm not alone! Glad to have stumbled upon this information. I appreciate that bloggers like you two ladies have taken the time to put it out there. :)
ReplyDeleteMy blog is also a company blog, but I spend days researching the topics just to ensure our quality, and I honestly believe our blogs could be super helpful to the right people... if only more people KNEW we had all this content for them. I'm really hoping that these link parties will help us reach a larger audience.
