Podcast Awards Update :-)
July 18th, 2006Manager Tools has won an award from The Podcast Awards for driving the most traffic to their site through the use of their banner ad. (That was the graphic at the top left of our page).
The simple note we received from the CEO of the awards, Todd Cochrane, said:
Your site drove the most traffic to the Podcast Awards Website during the nomination process through banner clicks from your website please forward me a 120×120 graphic of your show for placement on the website. There were other sites that drove more actual traffic without banners but you had the highest click rate on the banner.
The contest page regarding the banner ad says that the top three sites driving traffic will get a year’s free advertising on their site. While it’s probably not important (feel free to call us competitive), we appear to be the top site of the three.
Mike and I would like to say thanks to everyone who voted for Manager Tools. We hope you won’t mind us calling on you to vote again once the “nominees” are announced. Since we only asked for help in the latter part of the awards, we’re hopeful we can win the business category, and that this smaller award is a good indicator.

Congratulations. It’s more than just “votes”; I am thrilled with the leadership and community Mark and Mike and building…that we are all building. That’s what it is about for me. Thanks, M&M!

Congrats guys. Your podcasts do so much for us that I’m happy to vote early and vote often for Manager-Tools. If voting is part of the price for getting and spreading these great podcasts, I feel like I’m stealing from you! Keep up the great work.

I’d like to thank Lisa for pointing out the Podcast Awards. I could have easily missed this without her heads up.
