Open Thread: How Did You Hear About Makeup Minute?
January 3, 2008 by Shannon Nelson
Filed under About Me, Our Beauty Tips, beauty
Like all good bloggers do, I pay attention to where my traffic is coming from. This helps me to come up with better posts to write to suit all of my readers. What I love seeing is that I have so many international readers (hello readers from Toytown, Germany!) I find that kind of cool as I sit here in the Pennsylvania mountains. Who knew that one day I would be known beyond this little snow-haven?
So I’d love to find out from you, how did you first hear about Makeup Minute and what state or country do you read me from? It will be interesting to see how diverse the answers are. Oh–and if you are merely a lurker, can you come out of hiding to let me know who referred you here?

Wishing you a Happy New Year,

Hi Andrea–thank you for coming out of lurking to let me know! :)
Isabel–I had 2 foreign exchange students from Spain when I was in high school. :)
Hi Shannon,
I’ve been a reader of this site and A Girl’s Gotta Spa for a couple months now. I can’t quite remember where I found you but I’m glad I did! :)
I found you through lipstickpowdernpaint and splendicity .I read both everyday and have to say what a brill blog this is. I’m from canada – moved here from england 14yr ago.
Hi Lilan–thank you for being such a loyal reader–and for always posting comments on both blogs! I have you in my listed in both blogrolls. :)
Sharon–Oh I love Ellen, she is such a great writer. I had the pleasure of meeting her in person this past September. Thanks for your sweet words.
I found you through the Splendicity group blogroll. They have some really great blogs.
I discovered your great site in Technorati.
I’m from Brazil =) And I just started a blog myself: http://www.didinha.com
Christine–thanks! Yes, I agree, Splendicity is a great group! I can tell you that behind the scenes, all the ladies are extremely charming!
iAnon–ha! So technorati IS good for something! lol. You are the first to have ever found me there. I sure wish I was in Brazil right now–it’s been getting to -9 degrees here!
I believe I found you earlier this year thru another beauty site. I love reading you! Keep up the great work. From Florida!
I stumbled on you. Can I say that without it sounding mean? I was surding and then I was here! Looking for tips and probably too old. Oh, I’m from Scotland, where it’s wet as usual. Happy New Year to you.
Hi Shannon,
Thanks for the blogroll add! I hope you’re enjoying your weekend! :)
I class you as a friend Shannon – so of course I read all of your blogs!

Love ur site…already added to favs :o)
I live in South Carolina
I think I linked over from Beauty Addict’s blog??
It has been awhile. I live in Roswell, GA.
was looking for mentions of Toytown on technorati and found your site…
hello i live in seoul, Korea.
I don’t quite remember how i found you, but thank you for posting all these useful information!!
Grace–is the primary down your way at a fever pitch yet?
Robin–Looks like Kristen may just get a thank you gift with so many people finding me from her.
Gen–lol! I came across my name there and thought it was so wonderful that people a world away were reading my blog!
Antonia–Wow Seoul! Thanks for being here.
What a nice post- great to see you all. I certainly have been reading MM since its inception ;), but what I can’t remember is how I met you in the first place, Shannon. Was it from that dreadful Couakihgjae business??
Christina, I know I was reading ebeauty before that. Maybe I left comments from time to time, but I only got to know you once we were a part of that network. I want to say I remember really beginning talking to you sometime that February because you were the one who told me not to give up writing my blog. :)
I found you and countless other blogs from beauty blog network!
It all really started when I was reading Pursebuzz. ^_^
I am reading from good ol’ Nebraska
I, too, discovered your blog a couple of months ago, thanks to Beauty Blog Network.
I’m a Chicana from Denver, Colorado.
I found the blog when i googled “beauty blogs.” I clicked on a link to BBN an have been a reader ever since.
i also discovered your blog on google, i didnt quite know what it was until i clicked on it, i must admit it caught my attention. so here iam =]
I am a fashion & beauty blog junkie. I’m pretty sure I found you on someone’s blog roll, and book marked you pretty early on because this one is about 5th in my VERY extensive “Favorite Blogs” list – and that list goes in order of when I added them.
I’m reading this blog from Mississippi.
same here ashley! im a major beauty-blog-hoe, i can not get enough! i came across your blog about a month ago when i was up with my 3mo old daughter (about 2mo old @ the time) & when she falls asleep & i cant, i read up on my blogs. this is one of my faves to check in on. since im usually multi-tasking with baby in hand & laptop to the side, i dont really get to ppost much but now im hooked & cant stop lol.
im originally from albany ny & moved here to raleigh nc about 15 years ago to find the love of my life & then give birth to my other love 3 months ago ;-)
Hi Shannon
Well I actually just listed my own blog on Blogflux and was scrolling through some of their categories and since I love makeup too, I was very intrigued by the Makeup minute and I am so happy I discovered it!
