So…I haven’t really done the BlogExplosion thing regularly in months, and I haven’t really paid attention to their e-mails. I guess I’ve been a little preoccupied with other things.
Imagine my surprise when I stopped by the BlogExplosion site early Tuesday morning and saw that I had 15,109 unused credits. Uh, yeah, it…uh…seems that I won the May BlogExplosion Traffic Lottery. Weird thing is that during the month of May, I only used BlogExplosion for a couple of hours, at most.
Fortunately, unused credits roll over to the next month. So, now I have to figure out how to take advantage of this “power” to drive 15,000 people to my site for a 30-second (or longer) visit. (This humble site normally only sees 6 to 8 thousand unique visitors in an entire month.)
Hmmmm…
1 down, 14,999 more to go. Fun fun! =)
I decided to convert the first thousand credits into page impressions this morning.
Welcome, Jen.
Congrats on winning. That is so cool! I loved the posts about Hawaii. That place always enchants me when I see pictures. Thanks for sharing and nice site.
Wow! You won! I’m so jealous…
Congrats! think of all the creds you can bet on the battle of the blogs :)
I feel like a hanger-on of someone famous and cool, so thanks for letting me read your blog now that you’re (soon to be) famous!
Glad you enjoyed the Hawai‘i posts. A wonderful vacation is made all the better when you can share the experience with others.

When you think about it, it’s kind of a silly prize (you could buy the same number of credits for $95), but it’s still a rush to win.
Just two days left until the June lottery, upwards of 18,000 (70% of 25K) for the winner.

Battle of the Blogs, huh? They sure have added a lot of contests in the past couple of months.
Yes, just think, Denise, you can say that you knew me way back when…
Who knows, I may even rise above the rank of Flippery Fish in the Truth Laid Bear ecosystem.
May was a wild ride for you, and 15,000 credits drop out of the sky…
Instant Kharma!
How cool is that?
Congrats! I see you’re already putting them to work as I was directed here through BE. Glad I was. :)
I just signed up for blog explosion yesterday… but damn, how cool is this?!
Definitely, a wild ride, and I expect things to get wilder.

Its great to hear from all the new BE visitors. Weird thing that I didn’t realize about allocating a large number of credits. I put my first thousand to work on Tuesday, and by the time of this comment, only about 250 have been converted into page views. At this rate, it is going to take more than a hundred days for them to be used up.
