RLF Gem Award 
Last month, Romance Lives Forever had 31 posts in a 31 day month.
Each month, the RLF Gems post ranks in the top ten, but is not counted, in order
to focus on guests.
The Top Blogger for May was Sabrina York. She wins a month of
free cover advertising on the blog. Our Top Blogger of the Year is publisher Liquid
Silver Books, which won a year of free advertising.

New Award – Top Chatter

RLF Gem Chat Award 
Because the person who gets the most comments in a month is not always
the person who gets the most page views per month, I instituted the Top Chatter
Award. This is the award for the person who receives the most comments. It goes
to the top three people in that category. To win, a guest must have five or
more comments (not counting the guest author’s).

Romance Lives Forever features authors and new books. It has
a blogger’s FAQ page with a downloadable guide and six optional interviews. Readers
can follow via Google+, Networked Blogs, Linky Followers, email, an RSS feed, and
there’s a blog button readers and authors can grab. Authors can share previous books.
The blog uses author or publisher names as tags on posts, and author Twitter handles
in the titles. The site is broadcast over Triberr with a potential reach of over
1.2M readers via its Twitter-linked network. Twitter mentions are also gathered
in several Paper.li ezines, giving the author additional opportunities for promotion.
The Romance Lives
Forever Paper.li ezine
features only guest authors, and the day’s guest is on
its front page every day.
New for 2015
Each post will be featured on the Romance Lives Forever Pinterest
board within a few days after it goes live. https://www.pinterest.com/kayelleallen/romance-lives-forever-rlfblog/
