I'm not going to lie, I am obsessed with blog link-ups! People think I'm crazy, but I literally link my posts up to over 100 blogs a week. It is one of the biggest generators for traffic to my blog, puts you in touch new readers, and you so gain much inspiration from what people have linked up from their blogs.
I will tell you, it definitely takes time to do all that linking up and I often find myself wanting to be able to be one of the first bloggers to link-up immediately after it goes live. I have done my research, and the linkers in the top couple dozen as usually the ones that garner the most veiws.
I thought it might be fun to compile a list of my favorite link-ups in case you, my Beautiful blogging friends, want to join in on the fun or want to learn about some new link-ups and great blogs that maybe you didn't know about before.
I'm going to break it into two groups and then by the day they go live and the name if the link-up as most span over several blogs. These are by no means all of the ones I link to but the ones that generate the most traffic. Seeing as though I help host a popular fashion link-up every Wednesday with my wonderful friends at TBB, I will start with those followed by the Lifestyle Blogs that often include posts for how-tos, decorating, recipes and motivational material. I'll also list the approximate time they go live. All Times are EST. Sometimes they vary but I'll give you an approximate or at least am/pm.

While my friends and I at The Blended Blog don't have too many link-up rules, we trust that you're visiting others and commenting often, but we don't it make it rigid like some bloggers do. Once, I was emailed and told that if I didn't link back to her blog within 30 minutes, she was deleting all my link-ups to her kinky party that day. Needless to say, she lost a reader. All that we ask is that you don't link up too many posts as to share the wealth and that you stick to the topic of the link-up theme. For example don't link-up an outfit post on a recipe and food link-up. Or a post about religion on a fashion link-up. You get the gist.
I hope you bloggers gain from this list of my favorite link-ups. Trust me when I say you will benefit greatly by either joining link-ups with your fabulous post material or hosting one yourself! If you host a link-up or know of some goods ones, by all means leave it in the comment. Happy Week ahead sweets!

ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea for a post, Andrea! You are right, link-ups do take a lot of time but I do think they are worthwhile. I love discovering new blogs and you are definitely right about the traffic. Hope you had a great weekend and Happy Monday!

Oh friend you are so right, linking up helps grow a blog. But it sure does take time and effort. Thanks for sharing this great information, there are definitely a few of these I need to add to my list!
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday!
xo,

Thanks for this list, Andrea! I agree, I love links ups, too, because not only can I find new blogs to read, but I also gain traffic to my blog. I'm saving this list to refer to for my blogging! Happy Monday, sweet friend!
ReplyDeleteSarah at MeetTheShaneyfelts
Well this is just ULTIMATE - I just pinned it so I could take advantage of all these link up that I never even knew existed! Thank you for including mine :) xo, Biana-BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing! You are such a generous and kind person. Hugs to you sweet thing!
ReplyDeleteI would love to be added to your List A Labour of Fashion every Thursday goes life at 12:01 thursday morning every week
ReplyDeleteWow. Thanks for compiling! I will have to refer to these 😊
ReplyDeleteI also have a Happiness is Homemade going live every Sunday at 3:30 a.m. linking up all food, crafts, diys etc and thank you for the other leads
ReplyDeleteThis list is amazing! I always smile when I get to a linky and see you've beaten me there (it's almost every time!) I'll have to check some of these out!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!! I like to link up too and have figured out which ones get the most traffic for me. I'll share this in some of the blogging groups I'm in. You are a sweetheart!! Pinning. :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow, thanks so much for sharing all of these. I've been trying to find more places to link up lately!

Wow thank you for that awesome list!! I really need to step my link up game up!!
ReplyDeleteWow what an awesome list!! Thanks for sharing! I can't even believe that she wrote you and said that!!! Not in the spirit of blogging at all!!
ReplyDeleteHave you tried linkpartyanimal.com? It's a great way to link up to tons of parties quickly!
ReplyDeleteWHOA!!!! That is a lot of linking up friend. I am such a failure like that. What a great list of linkups. I love that you organized them too.
ReplyDeleteWow, I had no idea you joined so many! That is pretty cool.

I love how you organized them all! What had to take a lot of time. Thank you so much for sharing! This was very helpful to me!

This is fantastic, thank you so much for sharing! Hopping over to check up a ton of these fun link ups <3
ReplyDeleteGreen Fashionista
Awesome compilation! I'll have to add a few to our link up list. Thanks for doing this, friend!
ReplyDeleteThis is for sure the ultimate link up post! Thanks for the reminder and I agree staying with the theme! Thanks for putting this together! I'm sure it took up a lot of time!
ReplyDeletewww.rdsobsessions.com
I love link ups so I love this post!! It is a great way to find new blog and make new friends!! Bookmarking this post for future use, thanks for putting it together.
ReplyDeleteThanks for putting this together Andrea! Link ups are a great way to meet new people. In fact I'm thinking that's the way I stumbled across your amazing blog way back when. ;)
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you about linking up! It's a great way to generate more traffic to your blog, but also to find new readers or new blogs to read!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for making such a thorough and comprehensive list, Andrea! I love doing linkups, but I never know where to start - this is amazing. I'm so glad I found YOUR blog on a weekly linkup!
ReplyDeleteI'm always open for Thankful Thursday if anyone wants to join in that one :)
ReplyDeleteGirlfriend, YAAAASSSS! This is so helpful!
ReplyDeleteI love this! I just bookmarked it so I can use it to help me plan out some posts for when I'm drawing a blank. Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this list! I need to check out the ones I don't know about! One of my good sources of traffic is Meal Plan Monday with four different blogs. I first learned about it from Soutehrn Plate https://www.southernplate.com/meal-plan-monday-84/
ReplyDeleteI don't think I link up to any of these so I will have to check them out! I cant believe someone told you that if you didn't link back she was deleting all your posts. Rude! Sometimes I forget to put stuff like that in before I go live. Or you know...you do it 51 out of the 52 weeks per year lol.
ReplyDeleteGreat selection of so many great bloggers! Love the fact that y'all support one anther! I will definitely check these out!
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday, babe!

Thanks so much for providing this list. It is especially nice to have the times for parties because it is often difficult to figure out when their links open. This will be a great resource. Pinned.
ReplyDeleteYou my friend, are just amazing. Most bloggers wouldn't even think to do this in order to help the rest of us! So I know that I truly appreciate it! I'm always looking for new blogs to follow and new friends to make! And I gotta hand it to you - 100 blog link ups is AMAZING! You are goals!!!

This is awesome! I need to join more link ups :)
ReplyDeleteOh, you are a dear! I'm copying this and filing it so I can have it to refer to. I do not know how on earth you have time to do all the linkups you do and everything else you do. Amazing!
ReplyDeleteThis truly is the ultimate link party list! I need to be better about linking up consistently...it's always fun to get new readers and check out other blogs. have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteYou are a rockstar, Andrea xo

I do find it to be time consuming but it does make such a huge difference on my readership numbers; I too find that being one of the first helps! :) In fact I've gotten to the point that I won't link up if I'm beyond number 100 or bumped onto a second page.
ReplyDeleteGlad this was shared as one of your favs... Quite a lot of the linky parties I follow and use have been discontinued and I needed a few new places to link up! Went link by link and added almost all of them to my linky page!
DeleteThank you so much for this list, Andrea! It is very thoughtful!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great list! Thank you for sharing & compiling this list to help me save time to find link up parties! Have a great Tuesday!
ReplyDelete- Natalie A.
You are the WOMAN!!! What a great list. How on Earth did you figure out what time they go live. I'm always so far down the bottom of the lists being on the West Coast. I love when I'm in TN and can bump up my number a little. Thanks for taking time to compile this, Love!!! XOXO
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for compiling this list!! Saved to bookmarks!

Wow you have master the art of finding all the linkups! Thanks for sharing your list. I only link up to a couple per week and should really spread my wings and explore more blogs and linkups. As you said it's a huge generator of traffic. Saving your list to start adding new linkups for each week. You are the linkup Queen!
ReplyDeleteI can't thank you enough for this! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Just what I was looking for!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great list and idea Andrea. Thank you! Linking up is what keeps me going in the blog world. I'm also grateful for the reminder on link up etiquette!
