Who are you voting for in the A4U Awards and why?

[KieronD]

With only 17 days to go before voting closes for the A4U awards I was wondering who everybody was voting for and why.

If I remember correctly when voting was taking place last year there were 6 or 7 blogs who told us who they were voting for. I laid my votes out for all to see this year here and Rob tells everyone why he won't be voting for me here. But apart from that where are all the other blogs telling us who they are voting for?

Has everyone voted yet? Or maybe people are holding off until the last minute? Does everyone know what categories they can vote in and how to do it?

Cheers!

well i voted for you kieron. it's the only one i read regularly, although sometimes a little boring (joke).

Voted for Hero at webgains, Simon at figleaves plus a few others. A little difficult for me to say everything

I voted for you too, although i have to admit, i struggled when it came to best affiliate manager, being one myself, its hard to know who to vote for...

im looking forward to seeing the results!

I only voted in 2 categories this year so I didn't see the point in blogging about it this time round, that said I actually can't remember who I voted for (is short term memory loss a bad sign )

I can't vote properly as I'm still down aws an affiliate and fairly obviously I'll be voting for us as agency of the year. Can someone change me so I can't cheat!

I'll arrange for tech to change your membership type so you can vote as an agency.

I voted for Kirsty's blog - UK Affiliate Marketing Blog - Kirsty's Affiliate Marketing Guide - Affiliate Stuff UK although I also like Lee Mccoys.

I nominated Jason for his blog Affiliate Marketing Blog by Jason Dale - One Little Duck - Affiliate Blog not just for the obvious reason, but because I agree with most of what he writes about.

As for the other categories, I'm going to leave an air of mystery, partly coz I don't want to get anyone's hopes up in case no other bugger votes for them!

I voted for Kirsty's blog too- its one of the places I always point new affiliates (apart from A4U, obviously).

I'm always against this "I voted for so and so" thing

Don't get me wrong, I am happy to publish who and why someone gets my vote once the cut off date has passed but like last time, I refuse to disclose before the event or final count has taken place. I don't want to be seen as bumming up to anyone in particular, don't want to be patted on the back unless I deserve it (not because I voted for someone who returns the compliment) and I feel that it could sometimes have an influence on how others may vote.

Having said all that, I don't think its too hard to decipher who I haven't voted for this year

Good luck to all and here's to a really enjoyable event with us all tuxed up.... no more nerdy Atari tshirts
