As Thanksgiving sneaks up with ninja-like stealth, posts about holiday activities drive the creation of special BurstWires for publishers using the BlogBurst network. No matter what category your blog calls home, posts offering holiday tips and trends may entice publishers and drive traffic to your posts.
Need some inspiration? Here are a few examples from the BlogBurst holiday wish list:
My grandmother swore that if you cooked a turkey upside down for an hour before flipping it back over you would end up with the tastiest bird in town. Food & Wine bloggers: What are your favorite recipes, products, or cooking tips for the holiday season? Posts featuring holiday cooking tips will be featured in a special Thanksgiving Recipes BurstWire for publishers. Health & Fitness bloggers: Recipes on the blogosphere are looking mighty tasty. I wouldn’t be surprised to find readers seeking advice on how to battle the post-potluck bulges.
I’ve been eyeballing this cute little gizmo as a potential gift for the last few months. On the other hand, “To Wii or not to Wii,” may be the question that I struggle with the most. Shopping, Gadget, and Gaming bloggers: what products do your recommend for the Black Friday BurstWire for publishers? Arts & Entertainment bloggers: What are the must-have books, movies, and music products for shoppers this year?
Business/Finance bloggers: They don’t call it “Black Friday” for nothing. Posts that highlight big wins and losses as retailers and product manufacturers work to get their balance sheets back to black are sure to attract publishers for post-turkey day pick-up. And considering our special Toy Recall BurstWire, I am sure that readers are interested in the impact this trend has on toy store and toy manufacturing sales. If business and industry trends are not your cup of tea, use your expertise to offer personal finance and credit tips to get readers through the holiday shopping frenzy.

A safe bet would be the Wii and iPod nanos!
