    The good thing about the current format is that every blog nominated gets at least some 'link love' - and should pick up a few new viewers as a result.

    The longlist should drive a bit more traffic to the listed blogs , and so forth for the shortlist.

    When I was previously nominated, the difference in traffic was substantial - even for the long-list.

    Congrats to all the boardies that got this far.

    Ryan, are you taking the pics this year ?

    Unique visitors? That gives me a benchmark and I'm not doing too badly.

    dunno.. didnt bother looking to be honest. I only check the stats every other when I'm bored. Noticed I'm getting far less referrals from you these days though.

    control yourself there for gods sake.. I'm just telling him so he can push loads of that traffic he's getting my way, therefore winning the blog awards for me. It's all related

    Well done all. I notice a mad burst into life of a few of them lately :D

    Can't figure why Kyle didn't get in when some (more than one) are not even photoblogs.

    We'll take them by storm Alb!! Sorry to hear you didn't get in either.

    Thanks guys, ahh well I'm sure there was plenty of reasons behind it. It'll just make me work harder on the blog which I was planning to do anywho.

    Again, best of luck to everybody! I'll be keeping a close eye and be here to push you guys along :)

    Always a good thing. I started www.glasseyalley.com just after the blog awards last year in a similar burst of inspiration.

    Just checked mine and it was 1299 total uniques for January. It is interesting to know how that compares. I'd imagine it is on the low side?

    I had 2794 unique visitors for January. Looks like February will easily break that as the visitors are through the roof at the moment. They must be all lost :pac:

    Good stuff!:D There doesn't seem to be any increase in mine? There was one day in the middle of Jan that had 300 visits. I'd love to know what happened there.

    January 600+ unique visiters. As I hadn't really been updating it, I'm a bit surprised by that.

    I would go but my alcohol intake is limited for awhile and I'm not going if I can't get mouldy. I'll still hold the money tho'. :mad: What was it Charlton Heston said....?
