Tuesday’s are usually my least favorite day of the week, but not this Tuesday. First, it is a short week and I get to head home for Christmas in two days but more importantly, something very excited happened for the blog. This was not what I planned to write about today but when I saw last night I hit my milestone of 5,000,000 page views on Sparkles and Shoes I knew had to put plans on hold, share the good news, and celebrate with all of you. To each of you who made this possible, thank you!
And for those of you are pleasantly confused I imagine you are asking yourself, “well, I get that that’s good but what does five million page views mean?” (Hi Nana!) . That means that since I started tracking visitors to the blog with Google Analytics (and yes, I am still kicking myself that it was not on day one) that five million pages of Sparkles and Shoes have been viewed. That does not mean that five million unique people have come to the blog or even that many return visitors but when you count up each persons number of pages visited (so if you visit the homepage, this article, and then “About Me”, that counts as three) . we are now at five million!
To celebrate I recently bought these adorable Kate Spade earrings and I decided one of you also needs a pair of these adorable Kate Spade Holiday Bourgeois Bow Earrings and I am going to give them away along with a few other of my favorite purchases of 2017! Keep reading to learn how you can win!
Aren’t they so pretty? This will be an international giveaway and all you have to do is head to my Instagram and follow three easy steps to enter to win the best of 2017 package including these gorgeous earrings as my way of celebrating this exciting milestone!
What would you do with the earrings if you won?

Hello ,
I saw your tweets and thought I will check your website. Have to say it looks very good!
I’m also interested in this topic and have recently started my journey as young entrepreneur.
I’m also looking for the ways on how to promote my website. I have tried AdSense and Facebok Ads, however it is getting very expensive. Was thinking about starting using analytics. Do you recommend it?
Can you recommend something what works best for you?
I also want to improve SEO of my website. Would appreciate, if you can have a quick look at my website and give me an advice what I should improve: http://janzac.com/
(Recently I have added a new page about FutureNet and the way how users can make money on this social networking portal.)
I have subscribed to your newsletter. š
Hope to hear from you soon.
P.S.
Maybe I will add link to your website on my website and you will add link to my website on your website? It will improve SEO of our websites, right? What do you think?
Regards
Jan Zac
