It is called Exceptional Citings, and I have been using it sparingly here and there. The new Exceptional Citings Plugin You can purchase the plugin or read about [...]
There are numerous ways to monetize a blog. You can put ads on it, promote affiliate offers, sell your own items or accept donations from your readers. If you want to take donations or sell products, you will need to set up a payment processing solution that will allow you to receive payments on your [...]
There are all sorts of bloggers out there – some are mom blogs who run giveaway sites, some are deal and coupon sites, and wide variety of other niches. Specifically, deal and coupon bloggers share coupons on their sites so that they can earn affiliate money on each coupon printed. We’ve found a great coupon [...]
Below is a sampling of items that were purchased from Amazon through links on our site in June 2012. Most of the items (when you take into account unlisted quantities) are ones that AkronOhioMoms have reviewed. Its always neat to see what other people buy. Happy rat racing!

We do have some advertising on AkronOhioMoms- you’ve seen it in the sidebar and as links to Amazon Products in our posts. But what do people actually click on and then what do they actually buy? Want to know? We’ve compiled a list of all of the products sold on Amazon.com via clicks to our [...]
OK Mine is three. Let me just say it so EVERYONE can know that I am not a super social queen. I cannot handle Four : I can’t and I won’t. For that reason, I’ve taken Google+ off of my top social icon list that you see floating next to this post, and replaced it [...]
With mommy blogging, it seems, sometimes you jump on the bandwagon, and sometimes you buck the trend. In the case of Twitter, you can spend time following 19,000 people to build up your “I’ll follow you back” to 20,346- but we’ve not done that. In the case of Google Friend Connect- we did simply jump [...]
Just when we were getting used to the rules, things change! As of yesterday, Facebook put a stop to the promotion of giveaways and contests and sweepstakes from blogs like ours.

So you’re a mommy blogger, and you don’t have Photoshop- ugh! That’s not good! I have to admit that I am a novice at Photoshop, but we’ve got an expert in the family who sits next to me, so, not so bad. Anyway, if you aren’t able to resize images, change their colors, add overlays, [...]
Updated: 1-31-11 This took just a couple days and was fixed! Many Thanks to all of our fans!!! Some of you may have noticed, Facebook recently started refusing links to AOM, meaning that, for a short while, you can’t share any of our articles on your wall. Facebook’s spam prevention systems have falsely identified AOM as [...]
Although AkronOhioMoms.com has been around for a number of years, 2010 saw it flourish and really take off. Besides the countless hours put into it, I credit the rise of social media, the LIKE button, and some well thought out SEO activities. But 2011 is going to be different – and not just for me [...]
Some of you might find my writing a little format sometimes, with lots of repeated headings, and words that people don’t just say in normal conversation. That’s because, well, I am trying to win visitors to my site from google and the like. And there’s nothing wrong with that- although some mommy bloggers will scream [...]

We have written a little bit of custom code that makes managing blogger (read mommy blogger) giveaways easy to use- See it? It’s just to the right of this post- it is [...]
2010 has ushered in a whirlwind of changes at AkronOhioMoms. The blog puttered around in 2008 and 2009 as not much more than a hobby, it has truly taken off this year.
