February was an odd month for me. It appears my social media referrals suffered even though my overall social media engagement was way up. I can’t explain that so I won’t. I only had 1 giveaway in February so I didn’t have a lot of giveaway traffic. I did share my content with about 75 blog linkys a week and I have seen good blog traffic from about 10 of them which I think is not too shabby for the first month. I learned a lot this month that I will be implementing to my social media strategy as I move forward.

- Tightwad in Utah is another great place for low entry giveaways. They sent 45 people my way in February.
- MomSpark wrote another post about Dole Whip and graciously linked to me again! This new post sent me 39 visitors.

My G+ traffic tripled this month and I am now seeing traffic from StumbleUpon so I count both of those as wins. I hope your blog had a good February and an even better March!
