This list is comprised of some of the best Children’s Book Review blogs, all based on 2 numbers that are hard to fake:
DOMAIN AUTHORITY = a search engine ranking score for websites. Scores range from 1 to 100, with higher scores corresponding to a greater likelihood of that site’s ranking during a search via a search engine.
MONTHLY VISITORS = a website’s estimated monthly visitors.
Unlike social media vanity metrics (e.g. number of followers & likes) that can easily be faked, a website’s traffic is much harder to manipulate.
* Please note that my sharing of these blogs does NOT mean I have personally used them. Always do your due diligence when deciding what services to use and invest in.
