Marketing Sherpa Blogging Award winners

The winners of the prestigious Marketing Sherpa 2005 Best Blogs Awards have just been announced.

As you can see from the following list, some of the very best business bloggers on the internet today are included.

Unfortunately, not everyone could win, and some very deserving business blogs came up just a little bit short, in the overall voting totals.

Blog Business World was also nominated for an award, but did not win.

Of course, the real honour is in both the nomination and the support received from the readers and visitors to the blog.

I want to take this opportunity to congratulate all of the very deserving winners and to all of the other nominated bloggers. Thanks to everyone who read and voted for these great business blogs.

I also want to send out a special thank you to everyone who voted for Blog Business World. Your generous support is greatly appreciated and will never be forgotten.

Business blog awards make winners of every business blog, whether an award winner, a nominee, a voter, or a business blogger building a readership audience. The awards raise the profile of blogs in general, and business blogs in particular.

The awards make winners of us all.
