Every year these things run there’s more and more competition. I have to say, there are some really, really excellent blogs in these lists. Competition is fierce in the SEO category and some of the categories are no brainers.
TopRank was nominated in the “Social Media Optimization” category and my name (Lee Odden) is listed in the “Search Engine Blogger” category. Whichever your favorite blogs are, please be sure to vote!
Ha, it’s PaintShopPro and istockphoto.com! Feel free. 🙂
Lee, nice image there. May, I should really take the time to learn photoshop. Care if I steal it? (the image that is, not your photoshop)
