    Ok, I’ll bite. How in the H3LL did Elliotsblog get nominated for best blog? Are you kidding me? There are many other domain blogs not on the list that are far more deserving that elliotsblog – dotweekly is just one example.

    Jamie. Tell your Mom to go home, she’s drunk :)

    cmon shane, you know eliutsblug is nothing but an orgy of self promotion, disguised as helpful information. you don’t like his blog either.

    at least Jamie is sincere and WAY smarter

    Humble

    Elliot’s blog is not only worthy of nomination but won the award in 2010.

    Elliot runs an outstanding blog. That’s why it’s one of the most read blogs in the domaining space.

    Humble,

    I love Elliots blog. He’s one of the reason I still blog. He’s talked me out of quitting several times. Yes, I had to cut him from my basketball team (he has no range) so that’s why you may have heard I didn’t like him. Completely false

    I believe the domain industry is so fortunate to have such quality commentators & bloggers who generously share their experiences and keep us all informed across such a wide range of topics, particularly with so many changes upon us. Elliot provides great insights & i know many of our users really appreciate it. The TRAFFIC awards are a positive opportunity to celebrate & acknowledge such a great community.

    Of all the blogs on the list and other nominations, you picked on Elliots?

    That is L. O. L.

    I read over 20 domain bloggers on a regular basis. I agree with “humble”,, Elliots Blog comes across as nothing but self serving to the author. Also, he’s quite arrogant.

    Regarding the dot weekly blog,, I don’t really care for that writer either.

    DNJournal is a good blog, but it’s time to give it a new and fresh look :)

    I love how folks who get so excited over TM claimaints trying to UDRP dictionary words, and believe there should be penalties for attempted reverse domain hijackers, then want to turn around and give one an award.

    No, salesforce.com didn’t “get it”

    The hypocrisy is just mindblowing.
