Marvelous Mondays Link Party #37

WELCOMEMARVELOUS
Good evening and welcome to Marvelous Mondays! Julie and I are so happy to have you join us each week. We really enjoy your recipes and projects and we enjoy giving you the opportunity to share your creations with the blogging world. We'd love for you to spread the word about the party and invite your blogging friends to join the fun! We thank all of you for linking up each week and we welcome any new bloggers who linked up! Let's keep this party growing!

How many of you visit at least two links after you link up to the party? If you do, then you are awesome! Recently we've noticed that the links shared aren't getting much traffic. The average number of views for the most viewed post each week is 5. Yes, I said 5. And two of those views are from Julie and myself! There are many links shared that aren't getting any views at all or getting only one or two views. Let's keep this party going! Please visit at least two links after you link up. The goal of the party is to bring traffic to others' blogs. If shared link views don't begin to increase, then I am afraid that we are going to end the party.  In other words- DON'T LINK UP & JET! Stay a little while and find a couple of new recipe or DIY ideas. :)

Also, do not forget to sign up for the Spiked! Irish Cream Recipe Challenge while you are here! :) It does not have to be a brand new recipe, but you do have to include the Spiked! button in your post to be considered as a contestant.  Sign-ups are open until Tuesday, so please hurry on over & add your blog's home page to the sign-ups post. Good luck, all!

Now, let's move on to the party.
