Regan — I know exactly what you’re talking about. Wegman’s, right? I walk slowly by them whenever I see the corn peeling frenzy going on. Makes me chuckle. It’s like there’s a competition or something.

Swubird — And it looks as good as the day it got there… er, she looks as good. I almost missed that.

Lauren — The amount was reached, thankfully, but now I still have to wait, as they pay only once a month. Boy, this would be easier if I stood outside my house with a cup. “Brother, can you spare a dime?”

April — Thanks for stopping by! I’m so glad you like it here. Let’s hope my husband doesn’t follow me over to your blog. I just left a confession about lawn mowers on your latest entry.

Strider — Welcome! Dropping does take time, but so far it’s not impacted my ability to get a post up every other day. If it starts to eat into my writing time, I’ll have to reconsider. For now, it’s working out great.

Vegas Princess — I don’t always write hilarious stuff, either. My best advice is to pop over to Humor-Blogs.com and browse the selections. If you find your blog fits in with what you find, by all means, join up! If nothing else, it’s a great repository of funny blogs on the web. You’re bound to find some great new blogs to read.

I have a question. What do you have to write to be considered a humor blog? Because a lot of my posts are funny but some days I don’t write anything hilarious. Would I have to write something that induces laughter every day if I wanted to belong? Just curious.

Thanks for the heads up about all the other stuff even though I hardly understood a word of it! I am not so good at the whole networking, promoting my blog thing…

I had the same experience with Entrecard. My visitors increased more than two folds since I joined. But you're right. Its leaving a share of thought to other's blog that can really create the traffic. Have a great day and hope to see your drop frequent. Thanks! Strider's last blog post..The Power of Our Inner Glow

Very interesting stuff! Good luck with your top blogger payout. And will look for more reports on the bag in the tree. Lauren's last blog post..I Told My Mother About Sadie

Kathy: So that old bag is still hanging in the tree. What a drag. What do you suppose is taking her so long to get the hint? Happy trails. Swubird's last blog post..VANISHED!

Wow. The bag is STILL there? And I have a little story of my own.

Me and my dad were at the grocery store today. In the front of the store is where the corn is. I just found it amusing how people peeled the corn. Pick up corn. Peel. Put in bag. It was so mindless… like a bunch of robots. Pick of corn. Peel. Put in bag.

FerdC — Thank you ever so much for the ScratchBack Luv! I’m sorry you will go hungry now. But doesn’t The Junk Drawer nourish you? No? OK, how ’bout a candy bar?

DrowseyMonkey — For H-B.com, you’d do well to add a link to it from your blog, as prominently as you can. In fact, I moved my graphic up a little higher for a better view. As for EC, you’re right, there is a time investment. I guess as long as it doesn’t keep me from writing, I’ll stick with it. I know we’re all stretched so thin.

diesel — In addition to adding your graphic to my sidebar, I add a link in some posts that are worthy of the front page. That always helps. Hey, it seems H-B has grown significantly the last 6 months, by about 300 blogs, no? I’m glad for your success with this, and grateful you give humor bloggers another place to be discovered.

Jenny — I don’t get it all, either. Especially Twitter, which I didn’t mention I’ve started using. So much out there. Never know what’s going to work. I’ve reached my Top Spots pay out amount, thanks to the three who bought spots, so no need anymore. Thank you for the thought!

Kate Savage — It is obsession, isn’t it? I’m always reaching for the magic 300 number, the amount of cards you can drop in a day. I’m glad you made your way here!

Wow! It’s nice to have my choices validated by the Junk Drawer-er herself! I just joined both HB and Entrecard, and am finding it pretttttty dern fuhn, actually. Oh no. I have outed myself as a nascent addict! I’m ever thankful for this new obsession, though, because that’s how I found this blog!

I’ve eaten rubber bands, too.

I'm clueless about all of this stuff! Story of my life. I do like your blog, Kathy ... but unfortunately I can no longer remember how I found it so I don't know who to blame ... uhm, I mean thank!!! How do I get in your top spots? In other words where do I send the cash, sisterwoman? Jenny's last blog post..HEY HEY! HOLY COW!

You’re welcome, Kathy. The thing about Humor-Blogs is that what you get out of it is proportional to what you put into it. The sites that are in the top 30 (and that get a lot of traffic from H-B) tend to be the ones who link to H-B prominently and frequently. You might send 5 visitors to H-B, but you’ll probably get 10 as a result, so it can really help you if you work the system a little.

Maybe I don't know how to work the system, but I joined humour blogs long ago, but don't see any traffic from them. But then again, I'm not one for clicking anything like that, or the fuel my blog link either after reading a post. So perhaps that's why. As for entrecard, I ditched it too. I still have it on my photoblog, but I find that people just come and stay for 2 seconds, long enough to click the 'drop yours' button. At least at the photo blog they're seeing something in those few seconds ... and they may stay 4 seconds. But it was a lot of work to keep everything updated, so I just stopped. Glad it's all working for you tho...I should probably put more effort into it. DrowseyMonkey's last blog post..Deconstructing Buffy

Dear Kathy,
Your appeal for the last $2 to reach the $25 ScratchBack payment threshold really touched my heart. I would have helped earlier had I known of your troubles. But times are tough what with the price of gasoline and all, so I’m really glad to see that you reduced your price from $3 to $2. I can afford it now. I’ll have to skip lunch though.
Hungrily yours,
Ferd.

Graham — This is the Graham who conceived of Entrecard?! Wow, what a pleasure to have you drop by. Yep, EC is working well for me. A friend of mine turned me onto it and I’m glad I signed up!
