Search Blog Awards 2006 -- Congratulaltions

The Search Blog Awards have been published by Loren Baker. Readers were asked to nominate and rank their favorite search engine blogs in a number of categories. Congratulations to all of the individuals winning these awards. Maintaining a blog in the competitive search marketing arena requires real dedication, stamina and creativity.

One of the categories that readers were asked to nominate their favorites was Web 2.0 oriented blogs. I was thrilled to see that my "blog son" Frank Gruber's blog Somewhat Frank was rated third in this category, not far behind TechCrunch and ReadWrite Web.

Frank started blogging after hearing a panel that I did with Jeremy Zawodny at PubCon in New Orleans. How nice to see where Frank has taken this spark of inspiration.

Your inspiration back in the summer of 2005 at PubCon in New Orleans has been truly life changing since I consider starting a blog one of the best things I have ever done. By joining the conversation of the blogosphere I have been able to converse and connect with some of the most intelligent, thought provoking and interesting people around the globe. I guess I am getting good at it too which is just icing on the cake. Thank you Amanda, for the initial motivation.

Thanks.

Hey there, Amanda!

I thought I'd drop you a note to let you know that I recently finished the new Catherine Seda book, and I found you were a contributing author. Loved it!

Here is my review about it, which I also posted on Amazon.com where I am reviewer #78. Looking forward to seeing you the next time you come through Orlando.

Take care!
