Thanks Walter. In fact in discussion with a friend and advisor I was convinced that it might be good to extend the nominations for a few more days, simply because we want to make sure we've allowed lots of time on this first month of operations for some good competitions to develop. In that light I'm going to keep nominations open for maybe two or three more days, so you all have a bit more time to get in your nominations. The other thing I hope you're not missing is the point that all your comments on the site and on other blogs is generating you LONG LASTING links back to your promotions and blogs, and should NOT be overlooked! As Walter stated in another post, these links last for years and are the BEST advertising you can participate in. Most other advertising is either deleted from the lists, or people's inbox, or buried so deep in classifieds that they are never seen again. However..worthy comments that include good keywords related to the site are seen time and time again..particularly in the search engines..and this can bring you traffic YEARS after the post. What we've done in essense is allowed you even MORE benefit in advertising your links by adding in the contest, so you have a chance to win some cash or more advertising credits on top of what you should be doing anyway! It's WIN WIN WIN for you all the way! So get nominating and commenting and VOTING for the best blogs. Get in there and see what others are doing..and why you should be blogging to! BlogNetAwards
