Congratulations to the winners! Stuff like this can get you some good exposure. Like the links above 🙂
Since the nominations in several categories were rather “light”, hopefully those that did not nominate themselves will do so next year. The same blogs seem to be winning every year and there’s no reason for that to change unless the nominees change. There were also several blogs that I had not heard of that I’ve added to my too-long list of RSS feeds which is a good thing.
For whatever reason, Marketing Sherpa insists on calling some blogs, including mine, by the wrong name. They used, “Top Rank” instead of “Online Marketing Blog”. I guess that’s a lesson to be learned in choosing a domain name and name of a blog.
