The PINcentive Blog Hop: Week 8

WELCOME to the eighth week of The PINcentive Blog Hop!  I think a big THANK YOU is in order to everyone that has been linking up.  More so for making it EXTREMLY difficult for our co-hosts to choose winners each week and providing us with such great recipes, crafts, tips, parenting advice, tutorials, (you name it)!  Your content has truly been a pleasure to read and it keeps getting better each week!

If this is your first time linking up; WELCOME!  I am extremely excited to provide this link up for you today and the opportunity for you to increase your traffic, followers, and improve your page rank! 

THE PINCENTIVE BLOG HOP; HOW DOES IT WORK?

Each week, 3 winners will be chosen by our co-hosts!  As a winner, you will have the opportunity to:

• have your post featured,
• co-host our next hop and choose our winner (a great way to make new friends and increase your following),
• priority seating (which means I’ll add your post to our link up manually), and
• have your content pinned a minimum of 31 times by my Pinterest Incentive Program (PIP) team members below. 

Additionally your content will be pinned by the each blog hop participant!  That’s right!  Blog hop participants will be required to pin the winner’s content.  The number of link ups we have will determine the total number of times your content gets pinned so, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO SPREAD THE WORD!  It will only benefit you in the long run! 

Now, according to proper blog commenting etiquette, REQUESTS TO FOLLOW BACK are in poor taste.  For this Blog Hop, HOWEVER, let’s rid ourselves of this rule (that’s right; throw it right out the window)!  For this PARTY, they are ENCOURAGED and ENTIRELY APPROPRIATE! 

If you’d like to connect with these lovely ladies, or pay them a visit, I’m sure they’d love to hear from you!

5. Link up using your post URL (NOT the URL address of your main page).
Please provide the TITLE OF YOUR POST under Name/Title.

Most importantly, HAVE FUN, mingle, make some new friends, pin to your heart’s desire, and leave some comment love!

IMPORTANT PINNING TIPS:
Do not use the customized Pin It button that may appear when you hover over a participant’s thumbnail image.
Using it will ONLY pin the thumbnail image (linking you back to the website you are currently on) and not that person’s post.
To pin correctly, please click on the text link below the thumbnail image to pin directly from their page.

I reserve the right to remove any links that do not meet these requirements.
